“Life Changing”

For as long as she can remember, 26-year-old professional singer, Victoria, was dealing with a range of unpleasant symptoms. These included bloating, urgency to go to the toilet after consuming food and stomach cramps.

When asked about how these symptoms affected her life, Victoria said: “I didn’t like eating out or make plans revolving around food. Found myself nervous to eat dinner close to when I needed to leave the house.”

When a friend of hers recommended YorkTest Laboratories, Victoria decided to give food intolerance testing a go and see if there was any correlation between her symptoms and her diet.

After taking the Premium Food Intolerance Test, Victoria’s results indicated that her body was reacting to diary and egg.

We asked Victoria how she felt after removing her trigger foods. “Incredible. Less bloating. Along with exercise and eating better I’ve lost a stone since I took my test. Feel like I have so much energy and sleep better too. I’m much more confident in myself and my body. I feel confident to eat out and know what to avoid!”

Our test analyses your IgG reactions to 200 food and drinks – from common ingredients like gluten and cow’s milk, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.

The process involves sending a finger-prick blood sample back to YorkTest, Victoria then received her results within 7-days through the Wellness Hub, in an easy-to-read traffic light-based format.

Eliminating the trigger foods and sticking to her diet plan has helped clear Victoria’s symptoms within a week. When asked about her nutritional consultation, Victoria commented: “Very helpful, good links and advice for food swaps.” Similarly, Victoria found the customer service team “Friendly and easy to talk to.”

When asked how life had changed since taking the test and how she would summarise her experience, Victoria concluded: “Life changing.”
