Summary: 30 years of Stomach Ailments Cured overnight
Review: Doctors told me that I did not have a "disease" and so they could not help me. I had IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrome) everyday. Before I could leave for work, I took over the counter help-3 times the normal dose. That did not include what I needed throughout the rest of the day. I did not even mention to the doctors about the acid reflux EVERY night. I thought it was mild compared to the agony and embarrassment that I suffered of the irritable bowel syndrome. There was nothing regular physicians could or would do. The Al-Cat test (and Dr. Rivera) saved my life. When the digestive system breaks down so will the immune system eventually. Since the day I began avoiding the foods I am allergic to and following the prescribed new way of eating, I have had NO acid reflux. I have been free of IBS for nearly 10 months straight. (Only occassional boughts of it before that.) I have lost 60 pounds total. I feel great. I am in the best shape of my life at age 52. I feel 30. (My husband enjoys the change.) Reading the book won't change anything. But following its suggestions and reccommendations could save your life!

Summary: I'm returning it
Review: I am so disappointed in this book, I am returning it. My primary reason? The authors keep mentioning 100 trigger foods that the ALCAT tests for, yet they never provide this list. Wht not? Because this book is simply a marketing vehicle to get people to order the test through their lab.

Summary: the hidden truth
Review: I am the mother of 6 children, 2 of those children have problems with their weight, after trying so many different styles we finally realized that the main culpert was the food allergies. When you realize that when you are allergic to a food your body can not break it down and so it sits there, your body does not have the enzymes to break down and eliminate certain foods. Knowledge is power the Bible says, this book has given us some answers to questions and has enabled my children to feel good about themselves.
Thank you

Summary: A Must Read
Review: I have been having mysterious health problems for over 3 years. My symptoms included debilitating fatigue, low body temperature, the inability to concentrate, brain fog, heart palpatations, cluster headaches, mood swings, and unexplained weight gain. I even gained weight while dieting. To make an incredibly long story short, this book changed my life. By reading this book, I discovered my problems were due to IgG food allergies. I was so grateful to find that I wasn't alone and that there was a name for my condition. With further testing by ALCAT Labs, I avoided the foods I had intolerances to. In a short time I began feeling better and the weight began to drop off. Since then I have taken this a step further and have had NAET treatments,,, and have permanently eliminated my food sensitivities.I recommend this book to anyone with the inability to lose weight, abdominal bloating, and any unexplained illness. The small cost is certainly worth the chance that this book will do for you what it has for me.In my case this knowledge was the beginning of a second chance at life.

Summary: Just an ad for their test
Review: I was very dissapointed in this book. It talked about how food allergies make us sick with very few specifics and no real info on how to go about fixing it. There are no references, though many exist. It is just an ad for their test. [...]. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Forget Weight Loss--Feel Better!
Review: The name of the book is somewhat misleading. Although I am always interested in weight control I was curious about food intolerences due to some of my symptoms. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Rivera at a book signing and have since taken the ALCAT test. My results showed that I had an intolerence to 42 of 100 foods tested. Removing these foods from my diet is not easy but I know that I feel much better and have more energy. I have experimented and found that one food that was a favorite was actually causing back pain. I have 50 lbs to lose and I am well on my way!
