Julie Castledon

Food Reactions: Egg Yolk, Milk (Protein) Flax seed, linseed, spirulina

“The Digestion Problems Were Virtually Clear Within A Week. “

51-year old English Tutor Julie Castledon has been suffering from digestion problems for the past decade while dealing with Psoriasis and skin flare ups for over 33 years. Stomach cramping, nausea, bloating, flatulence and lethargy are just a few of the symptoms she has been dealing with.

Afraid to leave the house to go to work or to the gym and feeling embarrassed of her symptoms, Julie decided it was time to find out the cause of years of discomfort and took our Premium Food Intolerance Test.

Our test analyses your IgG reactions to 200 food and drinks – from common ingredients like gluten and cow’s milk, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.

The process involves sending a finger-prick blood sample back to YorkTest. Julie then received her results within 7-days through the Wellness Hub in an easy-to-read traffic light-based format.

After receiving her results, Julie was surprised to find that she was intolerant to the protein in all types of animal MilkEgg Yolk, flax seeds, linseeds and spirulina.

After having a discussion with one of our nutritional consultants, she began her elimination diet to remove her trigger foods. A process which she found “very easy”.

Julie expressed: “Removing the trigger foods has changed my life. I don’t remember the last time I felt so well.” and “I no longer have digestion issues and all my skin conditions have cleared up without using creams.”

She was also pleased with how quickly she noticed improvement in her symptoms and said her digestive problems were “virtually clear within a week”. Her skin cleared up within 4 to 6 weeks!

Since taking the test and continuing to follow her elimination diet as recommended by our nutritionists, Julie no longer feels anxiety about leaving the house to walk her dog, go hiking or be around her students. She described that her life has changed “exponentially” and said that “My life has completely changed”.

Finally, we asked Julie to sum up how she feels now, in one sentence. She said “I am a new person – confident and happy.”
