Food Reactions: yeast

“I am happier and healthier. It was great to know what I should avoid eating without having to second guess”

 

30-year-old Administrator, Amanvir Kalkat, had been suffering with general digestive issues and lethargy for most of his life. Amanvir explained how these symptoms affected him over the years, “I was tired a lot which would cause issues throughout the day – especially when it comes to motivation.”

Amanvir added, “I could do most activities but it came down to motivation due to fatigue. Because I spent a lot of time in the bathroom due to my digestive issues, it also meant I was wasting a lot of my day.”

Amanvir came across YorkTest on a discount site when he was working at Coventry University and decided to give it a try.

After taking a Premium Food Intolerance Test, Amanvir found he had IgG reactivity to a number of different foods including yeast.

After eliminating his trigger ingredients, Amanvir saw visible improvements in his symptoms.  “After a couple of weeks, my energy levels were a lot better and my digestive issues improved a lot. Overall, I felt better and I was very surprised by this as my digestive issues almost became so normal that I just accepted them for so long. It was nice to feel lighter and healthier.”

Talking about his experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from his diet, Amanvir said: “Hard at first but slowly started to get used to adding other types of carbs to my diet. We live in a culture where a sandwich is a staple lunch meal. However, it has been great to be more varied and I naturally started eating healthier as a result by adding more ingredients. I also ate sourdough.”

YorkTest analyses your IgG reactions to 200 food and drinks – from common ingredients like Cow’s MilkGluten and Egg, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.

The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood sample to the company’s laboratories revealed Amanvir’s intolerances. Following on from the test, the YorkTest Customer Care Team are on hand to answer any queries and offer follow-up advice along with our expert nutritional therapists.

When asked how he found his experience with our customer service, Amanvir said: “Very helpful and friendly. Especially Ollie who took the time to listen to me and show genuine interest.”

On his overall experience with YorkTest Amanvir remarked, “I am happier and healthier. It was great to know what I should avoid eating without having to second guess or trial and error constantly.”
