Symptoms: Bloating, joint pain and swelling

Food Reactions: Discomfort and pain

“I’m No Longer in Constant Pain – I Finally Feel Comfortable in My Body Again”

62-year-old Debbie, an income tax preparer from the U.S., had been struggling with a combination of health issues that were starting to take a real toll on her everyday life. She experienced bloating, joint pain during exercise, and frequent swelling and inflammation. These symptoms left her feeling uncomfortable and frustrated, especially when trying to stay active.

Despite trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Debbie couldn’t figure out what was causing her flare-ups. The discomfort affected her ability to enjoy exercise and made daily movement more difficult than it needed to be.

In October 2025, she decided to take matters into her own hands and ordered a YorkTest at-home food sensitivity test. She wanted real answers, and that’s exactly what she got.

The results revealed that Debbie had intolerances to certain trigger foods that were likely behind her inflammation and discomfort. She was able to adjust her diet based on the clear, personalized insights YorkTest provided.

With support from the YorkTest Nutritional Therapist and guidance from the Customer Care Team, Debbie began cutting out those trigger foods. It wasn’t always easy, but the positive changes were worth it.

Within weeks, the difference was noticeable. Her bloating reduced significantly, and her joint pain and inflammation eased, making movement and exercise far more enjoyable again. For the first time in a long time, she felt like her body was working with her, not against her.

Now, Debbie is feeling more energized, less inflamed, and much more in control of her health. She’s still following the diet and knows exactly what to avoid to feel her best.

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained pain, bloating, or inflammation, like Debbie was, a YorkTest could help you uncover your trigger foods and start feeling good again. Take your first step toward a more comfortable, vibrant life with our at-home testing kits.
