About the PreviGutHealth Bundle
Recurring or chronic digestive conditions and associated symptoms can be both distressing and debilitating. Chronic inflammation can destroy the cells lining your digestive tract, increasing intestinal permeability, and causing further inflammation.
The PreviGutHealth test kit comes with everything you need to support your digestive health and wellness, including functional nutrition testing and nutritional support.
Test Panels Included
The Alcat Food Sensitivity Test evaluates your body’s innate immune system response to substances such as foods, additives, colorings, and chemicals. The Alcat test panels in PreviGutHealth include 250 of the most commonly eaten foods; 30 common additives, such as MSG and aspartame; and 50 functional foods, such as spirulina and valerian root.
The Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) evaluates your genetic risk for celiac disease and checks for genetic markers associated with Crohn’s disease. The CICA is designed to provide an accurate evaluation of GI tract function by gathering information from various pathways.
*These tests require you to have your blood drawn. We will help with coordinating this for you, if needed.

"Prior to taking the Alcat test I was experiencing a myriad of abdominal discomfort symptoms including bloating, nausea and cramping. By following the results of my Alcat test along with the guidance provided by my Previ Medica nutritionist these symptoms gradually began to disappear!"
"Since I took the Alcat test and used the diet faithfully for 6 months, my life has totally changed for the better. Let me be clear--my symptoms are still healing, but it's the difference between day and night for me. For instance, I can now go out to eat in restaurants with friends and go to social events. (My red foods are soy, dairy, and gluten, with over 50 other yellow and orange foods.) It was amazing; within 48 hours of getting the test results and starting the diet, I had NO PAIN. I just couldn't believe it!"
"After the Alcat test, I found out that I have a strong sensitivity reaction on turmeric and scallop. After 2-3 weeks avoiding the strong food sensitivity, I had no more blood in my stool. It was amazing and I felt so happy for that."
PreviGutHealth tests for food sensitivities and cellular, antibody, and genetic GI risk markers.
PreviGutHealth will benefit those who need to support better gut health, such as those with issues like bloating, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, gas, acid reflux, and more.
PreviGutHealth will identify antibodies and genes associated with celiac and Crohn’s, as well as food sensitivities that may be exacerbating your symptoms.
This test requires you to have your blood drawn. We will help with coordinating this for you if needed.
You will be notified via email when your specimen arrives at the laboratory with notification of when to expect your results. Results are available online within 6-10 business days after your sample is received in the laboratory. Once your results are ready, they will be uploaded to our secure portal and you will receive an email notification indicating your results are ready for you to view. Please follow the instructions to start your account on the PreviMedica portal.
Disclaimer: It is important to note that food sensitivity testing is distinct from food allergy testing. While both tests share the objective of identifying potential food reactions, they vary in their diagnostic methodology and the types of reactions they detect. Food allergy testing commonly focuses on immediate, life-threatening reactions to foods, while food sensitivity testing aims to detect delayed responses that can be less severe but still affect one's health. Therefore, we strongly advise consulting with a qualified healthcare professional to determine which testing approach is most suitable for your particular situation.
