These problems had a big <strong>impact on both his home and work life<\/strong>. As a Managing Director, he was frequently required to meet clients for lunch but often felt too nauseous to eat. It was the same story when he dined out with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Suspecting his own symptoms were down to a food intolerance, Leigh began to blindly avoid certain foods in the hope this would change the way he felt. At one stage he claimed that he was on a \u201ccave man diet\u201d, eating just meat and salad.<\/p>\n<p>A turning point for Leigh came when he read a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-2806683\/Simon-Webbe-s-competitive-partner-ve-Strictly-Come-Dancing-s-Kristina-Rihanoff-reveals-train-6am-midnight.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail article<\/a> featuring Strictly Come Dancing Star, Kristina Rihanoff. Kristina followed a yorktest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/products\/premium-food-sensitivity\/\">Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>\u00a0in 2016 and overcame her food intolerance<em>\u2020<\/em> with the help of our expert team.<\/p>\n<p>After reading about this, Leigh purchased a FirstStep test from us, which <strong>confirmed he was sensitive to something in his diet<\/strong>. Just like Kristina, he then chose to follow a Food&amp;DrinkScan program himself, which proved to be a hugely valuable decision.<\/p>\n<p>yorktest offers a fast track elimination diet guided by the <strong>analysis of IgG reactions to up to 208 food and drink ingredients<\/strong>. The test involves sending a finger prick blood sample to the company\u2019s laboratories, which is analyzed within ten days. The test revealed that Leigh was reacting to cow\u2019s milk.<\/p>\n<p>The next step was to find a way to <strong>safely remove this from Leigh\u2019s diet<\/strong>. As part of his program, he was entitled to a telephone consultation with a <strong>registered nutritional therapist<\/strong>, additional content material and continued guidance from a friendly Customer Care team.<\/p>\n<p>Leigh found the process very difficult, as \u201cmilk was in everything\u201d, but with yorktest\u2019s support, he successfully eliminated dairy from his diet. <strong>The results proved to be well worth the effort<\/strong>. Within just two weeks of cutting his intolerance out, Leigh felt \u201cgreat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestaurants are still a hazard as they put butter in everything,\u201d Leigh said. \u201cI watch everything I put in my mouth very, very carefully but I feel great! <strong>It\u2019s been a life changing event<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Further support<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know 75% of our customers in 2017 came to us with digestive problems?
