“My life was changed for the better and I’m really grateful to YorkTest for helping identify my problems<\/strong>“<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

72-year-old retired analyst Susan McAdam had been suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) for a number of years, with the condition getting progressively worse.<\/p>\n

She explained how these symptoms had affected her during this time, \u201cI was struggling with constant pain, bad skin issues and lactose intolerance. Virtually every day I had to take some sort of pain medication. \u201d<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

Susan learned about YorkTest after seeing a Youtube video on IBS, \u201cI was so impressed that I ordered a test.\u201d<\/p>\n

After taking a\u00a0Premium Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>, Susan found she had IgG reactivity to egg yolk, garlic, dairy and gluten among other ingredients . After eliminating her trigger ingredients, her symptoms began to take a turn for the better.\u00a0 \u201cIt was about two weeks before I really noticed the overall inflammation was going away and I ended up losing about 10 or so pounds. Yay!\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about her experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from her diet, Susan said, \u201cI\u2019ve had to establish different eating habits, but it\u2019s a work in progress and so far I am happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Susan added, \u201cWhen you are eliminating pain, it\u2019s surprising how easy it is to avoid a food. Yes, I still miss pizza, cheese, real bread, dairy etc., but I don\u2019t miss that constant nagging pain. Without eating the trigger foods, I usually feel pretty decent.\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 Susan\u2019s intolerances. Following on from the test, we asked Susan how she found the customer service experience to which she replied: \u201cAmazing. Very nice people.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked to sum up her whole experience with YorkTest, Susan concluded: \u201cMy life was changed for the better and I\u2019m really grateful to YorkTest for helping identify my problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
