“I’m sorry I didn’t take the YorkTest sooner – but since doing so, I’ve recommended it to all my friends and family.”
38-year-old producer Daniel Fraser had struggled for over five years with uncomfortable digestive symptoms. After eating, he would regularly experience bloating, gas, and a general feeling of unease: symptoms that left him self-conscious at work or at home. Meals that should have been enjoyable instead made him feel heavy and unsettled.
His discomfort had a knock-on effect on his day-to-day life. He found himself avoiding the gym, not just because of the physical symptoms, but because of the fear of embarrassing reactions. Despite trying to eat well and stay active, nothing seemed to make a lasting difference.
It wasn’t until June 2024 that Daniel decided to take action. He came across YorkTest through a Google search and, after reading positive reviews, decided it was time to do something about his symptoms. There hadn’t been one specific trigger: just a growing sense that it was time to take control.
The results of his test revealed intolerances to cow’s milk, wheat, and gluten, all of which made perfect sense. Cow’s milk showed the highest reaction in his results, confirming what he had long suspected but never been able to prove.
After removing his trigger foods, Daniel began to feel better within just 2–3 weeks. His bloating eased, his energy returned, and he felt more like himself. He even resumed regular exercise, something he’d struggled to maintain while his symptoms were at their worst. As a bonus, the combination of improved diet and movement also led to some weight loss, which had been a personal goal.
The process was simple. The nutritional consultation helped him understand his results and provided easy-to-access alternatives to his trigger foods, many of which he found in local supermarkets. Since then, he’s stuck with the changes and plans to continue doing so for the rest of the year at least.
On the rare occasion he does eat one of his trigger foods, the bloating comes back quickly — a clear sign of the progress he’s made. But with better alternatives now part of his routine, he rarely feels the need to take that step back.
Daniel says the YorkTest has only improved his quality of life. He’s more confident, more comfortable, and more in control – and wishes he’d done it sooner.
