Tell us about your symptoms before you took the test?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was having repeated digestive discomfort<\/a> and bloating<\/a> along with some other symptoms which presented as potential hay fever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long have you had your symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least five years<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did your symptoms affect your day-to-day life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The symptoms meant I was always conscious about my diet but was unable to pinpoint what was the cause of the problem and digestive discomfort. The other symptoms i experienced were really difficult, including partial hearing loss due to the eustacean tube flare up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What did you feel unable to do as a result of your symptoms? (Activities and hobbies that you could no longer do etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On one occasion I felt unable to present to a group of people due to my blocked nose and ears making it difficult to hear or know if I was talking loudly, as a comms professional this was upsetting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you hear about YorkTest? (Through a friend\/family member, on the internet etc.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

My partner had taken the YorkTest allergy and intolerance tests and recommended them to me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why did you take a YorkTest? Was there a specific incident that made you decide to take a test with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As above. He was concerned that something in my diet was making my symptoms worse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What solutions had you previously tried before coming to YorkTest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steroid nasal spray and ketogenic diet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you seek advice from a specialist\/GP? If so, what was the outcome\/advice given?<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\/A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What food And drink ingredients were you intolerant to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dairy<\/a>, Eggs<\/a>, Soy and Cranberry were the main culprits! Gluten was on there too but I wasn’t surprised by that. Dairy however and eggs surprised me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you removed your trigger foods, how did you feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So much better! The blocked hearing has almost gone now<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you able to do things you couldn’t do before taking a test? (New hobbies and activities.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\/A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How long did it take for you to see an improvement in your symptoms and overall health after removing your food intolerance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within a week I felt better and my digestive discomfort stopped.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you see any change in weight through this process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not as yet, but that would be a nice extra benefit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How easy did you find the elimination process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Easy – I was motivated by trying anything to feel better<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you still following your diet plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I do have the odd egg now and again, but generally I’m following the advice from the results<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What happens if you eat your trigger foods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can definitely feel the effects coming back and it reminds me to check ingredient labels more closely – It’s a learning curve for me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How helpful was the nutritional consultation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very helpful – even down to recommending brands of diary free cheese and ice-cream!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How helpful did you find the Customer Care Team?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are such a friendly team, I’ve always had brilliant service with them and they make you feel really comfortable as a customer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How has your life changed since taking the test?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can hear properly again and don’t have to reach for Rennie’s after every meal. I feel like I’m taking better care of my body in the long term, particularly as I approach middle age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I’m so glad that someone encouraged me to take part in the testing; I can’t express enough how helpful it has been to have this new knowledge which has improved my quality of life.
