N\/A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Through a friend<\/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

Because I felt unhealthy and wanted to know which foods to avoid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoiding spicy food<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

No<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Wheat<\/a>, yeast<\/a>, gluten<\/a>, cows milk<\/a>, potato and spinach – yes very surprised because when I look back, my diet was full of those food groups, and processed most of the time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I have more energy, I felt happier, It motivated me to be healthier in other aspects of my diet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have started being more experimental with food. Before, I would just get takeaways or eat toast!<\/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

Unfortunately, my bloating stomach never really went away. I didn’t feel bloated but my stomach has always had a pregnant look. But I really do feel better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

No<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

It was very difficult! But once you know what you can and can’t have, it wasn’t so bad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

I’ve had a few slips recently, but yes. It has made me really realised the important of healthy eating.<\/p>\n

I’m fine at the time. But the next day I feel sick, stomach feels off and I actually feel depressed.<\/p>\n

Super helpful. 3 months later I’m still taking probiotics daily.<\/p>\n
