“Spiffing!”
40-year-old Filippo Arecco, a musician, decided to take a YorkTest test out of curiosity rather than ongoing health concerns. Although he wasn’t experiencing persistent symptoms, he had noticed that on a few occasions after drinking cappuccino he’d had to rush to the toilet. This made him wonder whether he might have a mild intolerance to milk.
Filippo heard about YorkTest through his mother-in-law and decided it was worth investigating. Since he hadn’t previously explored possible food intolerances or sought medical advice about the issue, the test offered a simple way to gain some clarity.
The results confirmed that Filippo does have an intolerance to milk, along with a mild reaction to egg white. While the reactions weren’t severe, they did explain the occasional digestive issues he’d experienced after consuming dairy products.
Since identifying his trigger foods, Filippo has made some small adjustments to his diet. He reports feeling better overall, and the elimination process itself was straightforward. Avoiding dairy on most days has helped him manage symptoms more effectively without requiring major lifestyle changes.
When he does consume his trigger foods, particularly milk, the reaction is fairly predictable. Filippo says he can experience bloating and a sudden need to rush to the toilet, which reinforces the benefit of being mindful about dairy intake.
Although his day-to-day life hasn’t changed dramatically, having the information from the test has been helpful. Knowing which foods can cause a reaction allows him to make more informed choices while still enjoying a balanced diet.
Filippo also had positive experiences with the YorkTest team, describing both the nutritional consultation and customer care team as “very good” and praising their support throughout the process.
Overall, he feels confident managing his diet and continues to follow his plan most days. As Filippo sums it up in his own words: “Spiffing!”
