Test results are in! I had this test taken over the holidays while I was in Phx. Its a blood test.

The ALCAT Test is NOT an "allergy" or IgE test. The ALCAT is the most effective and comprehensive sensitivity/intolerance test available.The test identifies reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals and other substances associated with inflammation that are linked to chronic health problems like migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, eczema, hyperactivity/ADD, asthma and even obesity.
In my endless search to find out the cause of migraines (I know some of the triggers... but not all..) - I think this test will help me identify foods to avoid!
I will need to avoid these foods for 6 months... (min..) - some I am bummed about.. onions.. garlic?? man we put that in everything we eat.... but i am on a mission to FEEL BETTER... And well the meat thing - that is a no brainer.. since we are not eating it anyhow...
I have not really been drinking coffee lately anyway... so not too upset up about that one. some of the veggies, i am sad about - i love avocado... and yellow squash... but to get on the road to better health - i am determined to feel better!
And of course I could not do this without such a supportive husband who does 99.9% of the cooking... :)
What an adventure 2012 will be for us!
