“I wish I had discovered this years ago. It really has changed my life for the better<\/strong>“<\/h2>\n

35-year-old primary school teacher Melissa had been suffering for years with a sore stomach, bloating and having to rush to the toilet. Melissa was often tired and experienced recurring tonsilitis.<\/p>\n

She explained how these symptoms had affected her during this time, \u201cI would hate going out for dinner as I always had to get straight home afterwards. I also never had any energy for exercising.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

Melissa learned about YorkTest from Instagram, after her doctor examined her numerous times and was unable to get to root cause of her digestive issues.<\/p>\n

After taking a\u00a0Premium Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>, Melissa found she had IgG reactivity to cow\u2019s milk and goat\u2019s milk. After eliminating her trigger ingredients, her digestive issues began to take a turn for the better.\u00a0 \u201cI have felt great since removing diary. I haven\u2019t had tonsilitis at all since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about her experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from her diet, Melissa said, \u201cIt was easier than expected. There are lots of alternatives in the supermarket and you just have to check labels. Often things you think might have milk in them actually don\u2019t.\u201d Melissa continues to follow her diet plan and avoid her trigger foods. \u201cI haven\u2019t eaten any since the beginning of December. I feel so much better, I just don\u2019t want to risk it!\u201d<\/p>\n

YorkTest analyses your IgG reactions to\u00a0200 food and drinks<\/strong> \u2013 from common ingredients like cow\u2019s milk, gluten and egg, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.<\/p>\n

The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood sample to the company\u2019s laboratories revealed Melissa\u2019s food sensitivities. Following on from the test, we asked Melissa how she found the customer service experience to which she replied: \u201cThe team have been excellent from start to finish. The aftercare has been excellent too. It isn\u2019t often you get such great customer service care these days!\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, on her appointment with one of our nutritional experts, Melissa added: \u201cThe consultation was amazing. Incredibly helpful and explained everything really well. This was one of the best parts of the test.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked to sum up her whole experience with YorkTest, Melissa concluded: \u201cMy life really has changed. I feel so much better both emotionally and physically. I have more energy and I am all round happier. Not having a sore stomach or tonsilitis has been amazing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
