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

I used to have crippling pain in my stomach and sometimes a lot of discomfort when going to the toilet. I would be very bloated<\/a> after some meals which created a lot of gas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I only noticed my symptoms in the summer of 2020 when I changed my diet to compliment my increase in exercise \/ weight lifting so I was eating healthier breakfasts and protein shakes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

It was difficult if I was out of the house and if I’d had a cows milk based drink within 10 mins I need to go to the toilet urgently or carry on with crippling pain in my tummy.<\/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

I was still able to complete all my hobbies but before I used the YorkTest I didn’t know what brought on my symptoms and there wasn’t a regular pattern that made it obvious to me of what it was.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

My brother had bought a YorkTest and resolved his symptoms within months and he was much happier in himself. I ordered a test just out of curiosity and didn’t think it would have improved my life as much as it has.<\/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

Not that I can remember, but my brother had found such relief from taking the YorkTest it was discounted on Black Friday for \u00a3125 which I though was a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I had requested testing from my GP but all tests came back clear<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

All tests on normal bloods, dipped urine and stool samples came back clear, none of these tests checked for intolerance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What food and drink ingredients were you intolerant to? Were you surprised by the results?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cows milk<\/a> was the highest which made so much sense when I had my consultation with the nutritionist, egg white<\/a> which was only just in the amber zone and barley malt mix which I was surpised at because I didn’t release how much badly was in a lot of my diet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

AMAZING! I now know if I get discomfort it’s usually because I’ve eaten something that contains milk. Initially I actively avoided any trace of milk however since relaxing my diet I’ve discovered what I can and can’t tolerate things that contain milk.<\/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

I’m still able to complete normal activities and I know not to have any milk before a first Date haha!<\/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

Pretty instantly once I cut milk out of my diet i’ve not had any problems<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I am currently working towards building muscle but vegan blend protein shakes have been a great alternative with oat or almond milk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

To begin with I was very strict and was shocked at how much milk is in products. However, I really enjoyed finding and trying alternatives which sometimes turned out to be the preferred option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I avoid cows milk as much as possible but sometimes I might slip up but because I know the reason why I don’t get worried when my symptoms start.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I need to quickly get to a toilet and a horrible pain in my stomach starts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Very useful to know the intolerance can be re introduced after time without and I didn’t expect such excellence after care for the YorkTest either.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Very helpful, I was pleasantly surprised with the after care call to check on how things were going.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

For the better, I’ve told loads of friends and family to buy this test and they’re so happy to know their intolerances too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
