YorkTest Laboratories is Europe’s leading provider of food intolerance programmes with
over 30 years’ experience, and is recommended by leading medical charity Allergy
UK.
According to Allergy UK, as many as 45%* of the population suffers from food
intolerance which, whilst not life threatening, can make all aspects of life very
uncomfortable for sufferers.
The
YorkTest Food Intolerance Programme provides nutritional support and guidance to help manage your food intolerance
symptoms from trained Nutritional Therapists. The programme includes a home-to-laboratory,
pin-prick blood sample kit to test for food-specific IgG antibodies against 113
foods. Your personalised results pack includes comprehensive test results and
a guide book explaining the principles of treating food intolerance by eliminating
certain foods from your diet. You will also receive a handy credit card sized
summary of your results and two telephone consultations with a BANT** registered
Nutritional Therapist to support you in changing your diet, plus one year’s free
membership to the leading medical charity Allergy UK. For anyone who is uncertain
as to whether IgG antibody food reactions are present, a pre-screen is available
– the
First Step Test.
Our extensive portfolio of finger prick blood tests are processed in our accredited
laboratory, providing you with peace of mind that you are receiving high quality,
laboratory analysed results in the comfort of your home. In addition to our food
intolerance programme we also provide environmental allergy testing, a liver function
test, a homocysteine test, a stool test, a glucose test and a personalised diet
plan.
