1 Star I’m returning it
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. Why not? Because this book is simply a marketing vehicle to get people to order the test through their lab.
5 Stars Hidden Food Allergies
As a middle-aged allergy patient, my allergist recommended this book to me because I’m always getting sick with colds and other infections. The book, Your Hidden Allergies Are Making You Fat, is not just about dieting, but contains a wealth of information about how food sensitivities can negatively affect your whole body and your life. My allergist, with over thirty years of experience with patients, said, “This is the best book I’ve read about hidden food allergies.” I agree. It explains, in easy to understand terms, the science of allergic reactions to foods, how to deal with symptoms, and best of all, it thoroughly describes a simple blood test, the ALCAT test. This test identifies your food intolerances, so that you can develop an individualized eating plan to help lose weight or feel better/get well from illnesses.
I’m grateful for this book and have just had the ALCAT test. I’m now ready to have a diet plan prepared for me by a dietician using the results of the ALCAT test. I highly recommend this amazing book.
5 Stars 30 years of Stomach Ailments Cured overnight
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!
5 Stars the hidden truth
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

I haven’t read this cover-to-cover yet, however I have to say that anyone who has tried multiple diets or lifestyle plans faithfully yet still struggles with their weight should go see an allergist for a complete battery of tests.
Getting tested revealed some insidious allergies for me. I am a 10 year veteran of unexplained elevated liver function tests which completely normalized when I eliminated gluten from my diet. My positive ANA for lupus has also normalized.
In addition, I have lost 65 pounds in 9 months without exercise or restricting my intake amounts. In other words, I still eat junk food and drink soda, I just use products that do not contain my allergens.
As an aside, I believe with all of the genetically modified foods on the market, including Monsanto’s approval to use GM sugar beets, the number of people with food allergies will only increase.
