Nahid Ahadian had suffered with stomach problems<\/strong> for over 3 years. \u201cI would feel heaviness and ache in my right side which could be painful sometimes,\u201d Nahid explained. Her continued stomach problems left the retiree unable to partake in activities<\/strong>, such as walking, which affected her social life. \u201cI stopped doing many activities… I was losing<\/strong> the confidence<\/strong> to go far away from home,\u201d the retiree said.<\/p>\n Nahid sought advice from her GP over the course of the 3 years she suffered from stomach problems but to no avail. \u201cI had many tests done but no definite diagnosis, even dietitians couldn\u2019t help,\u201d she said. It is thought that medically unexplained symptoms account for up to a fifth of GP consultations in the UK**. These symptoms include digestive problems – Nahid\u2019s primary<\/strong> symptom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The 66-year-old came across YorkTest after an advert<\/strong> appeared whilst doing research on the computer. Deciding she had nothing to lose<\/strong>, Nahid ordered a Premium food intolerance programme<\/a><\/p>\n YorkTest offers a fast track elimination diet<\/strong> by analysing IgG reactions to over 200<\/strong> food and drink ingredients, which involves sending a finger prick sample to the company\u2019s laboratories revealed that Nahid had reactions to cow\u2019s milk and yeast.<\/p>\n The full programme provides up to two consultations with a registered nutritional therapist, additional content material, including a personalised list of FODMAP foods, and continued guidance from our Customer Care team to give further support. Nahid felt surprised<\/strong> by the results<\/strong> and her next step was to eliminate her trigger foods from her diet. \u201cI found it hard at the start but with the help of Sandra, the nutritional therapist, I was able to cope\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Within 3 weeks, Nahid noticed a significant change<\/strong> in her stomach problems and felt \u201cmuch better\u201d after removing her trigger foods from her diet. Not only has she seen a reduction<\/strong> in her stomach pain<\/strong>, but she has also lost 5 pounds on her elimination diet.<\/p>\n The retiree is still following her diet plan for the foreseeable future and has found the nutritional consultation and Customer Care team \u201cexcellent\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m emotionally much better and I now have the knowledge to cope,\u201d Nahid expressed. She can now partake in the activities she was unable to do when she suffered from her stomach problems.<\/p>\n \u201cI can now see the light at the end of the tunnel,\u201d Nahid announced.<\/p>\n Our Nutritional Therapist, Sandra<\/a>, helped Nahid to optimise her diet.<\/p>\n YorkTest advise that you consult with your GP first if you are experiencing the types of symptoms mentioned in this testimonial.<\/em><\/p>\n
