He was also having trouble sleeping which was affecting his ability to focus on everyday tasks.<\/p>\n<p>He decided to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/products\/food-drink-scan-test\/\">YorkTest Premium Food Intolerance* Test<\/a>\u00a0programme to see if his diet could be contributing to any of his symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood sample to their laboratory, revealed some surprising and unexpected reactions to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/wheat-intolerance\/\">wheat<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/yeast-intolerance\/\">yeast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/gluten-intolerance\/\">gluten<\/a>, lentils, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/allergy\/nut\/\">peanuts<\/a>, mustard seed and grape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first got my results, I was at first shocked that my staple food groups were the things I was intolerant to. I thought \u2018OK, I should be able to get around it\u2019 and then I started to look at the ingredients and that\u2019s when it sunk in how much I would have to change. Simple things like a sandwich, being that I can\u2019t have wheat and gluten, made this a challenge\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with a large list, he was understandably daunted. Luckily, here at YorkTest, we never leave you stranded when you need us the most. Our programmes come with one 30-minute consultation with one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/our-experts\/\">nutritional therapists<\/a> to help you to make your dietary changes.<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional therapist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/our-experts\/sarah-brown\/\">Sarah<\/a>, guided him through his food triggers and where they could be hidden in his diet. She also helped him to find alternatives he hadn\u2019t thought of before. It didn\u2019t take him long for him to feel the benefits but admitted that he had given into temptation and slipped up two weeks into his elimination diet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Text-placeholder-6-300x300.png\" alt=\"Client transformation testimonial\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a slip up and ate an all-day breakfast sandwich,\u201d Matt explained. \u201c30 minutes later I felt sick, bloated and horrible all day. I did not do that again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of his experience 5 weeks on, he says he feels \u201camazing\u201d. \u201cI have lost over an inch from my waist and lost 17 pounds in weight; I go to sleep almost instantly rather than staring at the ceiling. My energy levels through the day are higher; I am more focused and clearer headed,\u201d Matt said.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also managed to defeat the cravings of his trigger foods. \u201cI look at TV adverts for food now and think that would be nice, but I don&#8217;t crave them anymore. The good thing is I am not on a diet, I have just changed my eating habits\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>His active regime has also seen an improvement. \u201cIn my first triathlon of the season, I knocked 17 minutes off my time from last year!\u201d Matt announced.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded that \u201cA simple test and re-education on your eating habits can turn your life around\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A simple test and re-education on your eating habits can turn your life around<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":139,"template":"","review_category":[25,26,28],"class_list":["post-138","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","review_category-ibs-verdauungsprobleme","review_category-gewichtsmanagement","review_category-muedigkeit-erschoepfung"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews\/138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reviews"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
