Kyra Foreman

“I feel more in control! I am less afraid to travel and it has made my family life much more pleasant.”

52-year-old customer service assistant, Kyra Foreman, had been suffering with bloating, sudden onset diarrhoea and side pain for one year. She explained how these symptoms had affected her during this time, “At its worst, I had seven consecutive weeks off work, at its best I was terrified to go out anywhere in case of an ‘accident’.”

Kyra learned about YorkTest after doing research on the internet and decided to try a food intolerance test in search for a solution to her symptoms.

After taking a Premium Food Intolerance Test, Kyra found she had IgG reactivity to cow’s milk and wheat. After eliminating her trigger ingredients, her symptoms began to take a turn for the better. “I felt lighter. Definitely less bloated! I am happy to walk and socialise again.”

Talking about her experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from her diet, Kyra said, “Once I got my head around how much cow’s milk is in day to day food, it was easy. I tend to go for a vegan option if I am out.”

We asked Kyra if she is still following her diet plan to which she replied: “Yes, mostly. I have tried introducing the odd bit of cow’s milk but I do find I get my symptoms back – to a lesser extent than before I started omitting foods.”

YorkTest analyses your IgG reactions to 200 food and drinks – from common ingredients like Cow’s Milk, Gluten 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 Kyra’s intolerances. Following on from the test, we asked Kyra how she found the customer service experience to which she replied: “very helpful.”

When asked to sum up her whole experience with YorkTest, Kyra concluded: “I feel more in control. I am less afraid to travel. It has made my family life much more pleasant. I feel clearer, less afraid, more sociable. More me!!”
