But after seeing my doctor and talking through IBS, I wondered what could be causing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah tried to cut out various foods, including dairy, but this didn\u2019t alleviate her symptoms as hoped. Fortunately, further help and support arrived in the form of a food sensitivity test, after her sister-in-law recommended the services of yorktest Laboratories.<\/p>\n<p>A yorktest program involves a simple finger prick blood test which is mailed back to the company\u2019s laboratory to be analyzed for IgG antibody reactions to up to 162 food and drink ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah\u2019s yorktest results revealed that she was in fact intolerant to yeast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very surprised at this result,\u201d admitted Hannah. \u201cI would have probably cut out everything but yeast if I\u2019d continued with my own elimination diet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guided by a knowledgeable yorktest nutritionist and a comprehensive support pack, Hannah began to remove this trigger food from her diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nutritional consultation was very helpful because yeast is hidden in so many processed foods, which I wouldn\u2019t have thought of looking in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within a week, Hannah noticed the difference in how she was feeling and three months later, she is now able to enjoy day to day activities without her symptoms getting in the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very difficult at first but I got used to the diet. I much preferred feeling better than risking eating something that could trigger my symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel ten times better, not only from removing the trigger food, but also from knowing what was making me feel so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking the test has changed my life so much. I now feel confident and comfortable in myself, healthy and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>yorktest advise that you consult with your doctor first if you are experiencing the types of symptoms mentioned in this testimonial.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nutritional consultation was very helpful because yeast is hidden in so many processed foods, which I wouldn\u2019t have thought of looking in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","review_category":[],"class_list":["post-540","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews\/540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reviews"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
