Sara Wilson, 35, struggled with guttate psoriasis for four years before getting tested. This painful skin condition covered 80% of her body and significantly impacted her daily life. The psoriasis made clothes painful to wear and prevented Sara from going swimming or to the beach with her children without being stared at by others – which negatively affected her mental health.
“It had a massive impact on my life. I could no longer wear the clothes I would normally wear. I could no longer go swimming with the kids. The psoriasis plaques were causing me a lot of pain. It affected every aspect of my life.”
Sara had previously tried steroid creams and medications prescribed by her dermatologist, but to no avail. When Sara mentioned that her symptoms might be related to diet, her dermatologist said that her diet couldn’t possibly be the cause of psoriasis.
Sara then decided to look for alternative options to help her symptoms. After some research online, Sara came across YorkTest. She mentioned that she was immediately drawn to YorkTest as she had a previous connection to the city of York. Sara then purchased the premium food intolerance test.
The results showed that she had an intolerance to dairy, gluten and white potato – something she hadn’t expected. She was able to eliminate these trigger foods from her diet.
When asked how she felt after removing the trigger foods, Sara said, “I felt great. Not only did my skin improve every day, but my head became clearer and my energy levels increased dramatically.”
The Premium Food Intolerance Test* analyzes your IgG reactions to over 200 foods and drinks – from common ingredients like cow’s milk, gluten and egg to healthy superfoods like kale and quinoa.
Eliminating the trigger foods and sticking to her diet plan has improved Sara’s psoriasis (see picture) and restored her self-confidence. When asked about her nutritional advice, Sara replied very happily: “Amazing, she took so much time for me, answered every question I had. I regularly contacted her with further questions and nothing was too much for her. She tailored a detailed diet plan for me that was tailored to my needs.”
Sara also mentioned that she found the YorkTest customer service team to be “thorough, friendly and accommodating.” When asked how her life has changed since taking the test, Sara said, “Dramatically – it’s like night and day.”
The before and after pictures provided by Sara show a drastic change achieved through the food intolerance test and implementation of her elimination diet. When asked to sum up her feelings in one sentence, Sara said, “I am free, there are no words to describe this feeling.”
