Her mum, Sharon, became increasingly concerned with the variety of symptoms Lola complained about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLola cried most days as she was hurting in some way,\u201d Sharon explains. \u201cLola has missed out on lots of activities over the years and it has had a negative impact on her education\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As every parent would who is concerned about their child\u2019s health, Sharon visited the family\u2019s GP on many occasions in a bid to seek answers. However, their questions were unfortunately left unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>In our recent customer survey, we found that 88% of surveyed respondents sought advice from their GP, but unfortunately did not find the cause of their ailments*.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLola has seen lots of doctors and consultants and had many tests conducted over the years. All [of these] were unsuccessful. I lost a lot of faith. The first thing we tried which helped her was reflexology. Although not a cure, it did ease her symptoms,\u201d Sharon says.<\/p>\n<p>After reflexology greatly helped Sharon\u2019s 10-year-old daughter, other avenues of interest began to open up for Sharon.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until a friend recommended food intolerance\u2020 testing to Sharon that she decided to take a closer look at her daughter\u2019s diet.<\/p>\n<p>YorkTest\u2019s award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/products\/foodscan-junior-test\/\">Junior Food Intolerance Test<\/a> has been expertly developed for the little ones. This simple finger-prick blood test analyses a child\u2019s IgG reactions to over 100 food and drink ingredients, including commonplace foods such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/dairy-intolerance\/\">cow\u2019s milk<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/egg-intolerance\/\">egg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/wheat-intolerance\/\">wheat<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/gluten-intolerance\/\">gluten<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To help remove any trigger ingredients safely from a child\u2019s diet, we provide one 30-minute call with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/our-experts\/\">qualified nutritional therapist<\/a> and a results guidebook for extra guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood sample to the company\u2019s in-house laboratory, revealed that Lola was intolerant to a range of foods, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/dairy-intolerance\/\">cow\u2019s milk<\/a>, crustacean mix, hops, garlic, soya and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/food-intolerance-advice\/problem-foods\/wheat-intolerance\/\">wheat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With support from one of our experienced nutritional therapists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/our-experts\/alison-orr\/\">Ali Orr<\/a>, Lola\u2019s mum felt ready to safely remove Lola\u2019s trigger foods from her diet and it didn\u2019t take long to notice some life-changing improvements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nutritional therapist pointed us in the right direction. We talked about gut health and the idea of probiotics. It took a good two or three weeks to get to grips with what she could eat but I am so glad we stuck with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Lola removed her trigger foods, she has not missed any time off school and has not complained or cried because she feels unwell. I finally have a happy, healthy daughter!<\/p>\n<p>Lola has now completed her 12-week elimination diet and has even started to re-introduce her trigger foods back into her diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe now has her food intolerances in small doses. I think that too much milk, egg, soya or wheat make her feel bad. She has them in her diet every week, but I just try to make sure she doesn\u2019t have too much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLola is a different child! Happy and healthy at last! I so wish we had done this years ago. It\u2019s been life-changing,\u201d Sharon announces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Lola took a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/products\/foodscan-junior-test\/\">Junior Food Intolerance* Test<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/our-experts\/alison-orr\/\">Ali Orr<\/a> helped Lola to optimise her diet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Lola removed her trigger foods, she has not missed any time off school and has not complained or cried because she feels unwell.
