“I feel relieved and extremely happy to finally have answers to my symptoms”<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

30-year-old design quality engineer, Alaa Mohammad, was dealing with a range of unpleasant symptoms for over 5 years. Alaa experienced bloating, stomach cramps, nausea and fatigue on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

When asked about how these symptoms affected her life, Alaa said: \u201cThe constant feeling of being bloated was extremely uncomfortable, especially when seated in the office. The fatigue prevented me from doing cardio exercises and as a result I was unable to play football. The stomach cramps and nausea had also put me off exercising.”<\/p>\n

In a bid to try and get to the root cause of her symptoms Alaa’s friend suggested she try YorkTest. “Initially, I was interested in taking an allergy test as I seemed to have an increased reaction to fruit. When my friend told me about the food intolerance and allergy bundle at YorkTest, I decided to give it a go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After taking the Food Sensitivity and Allergy Test Bundle<\/a>, Alaa’s results indicated that her body was reacting to wheat and dairy.<\/p>\n

We asked Alaa how she felt after removing these trigger foods. \u201cI felt instantly better, the bloating disappeared within a few days. I also felt my energy levels going back up after a few weeks. ”<\/p>\n

Our test analyses your IgG reactions to 200 food and drinks \u2013 from common ingredients like gluten and cow’s milk, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.<\/p>\n

The process involves sending a finger-prick blood sample back to YorkTest, Alaa then received her results within 7-days through the Wellness Hub, in an easy-to-read traffic light-based format.<\/p>\n

Eliminating the trigger foods and sticking to her diet plan has helped clear Alaa\u2019s symptoms, “I felt much better after approximately 3 weeks and I gained healthier weight by being able to retain most of the nutrients. “I am able to play football again and I also feel much better performing cardio exercises.”<\/p>\n

When asked about her nutritional consultation, Alaa found it “very helpful, I was given tips and ideas that I personally wouldn’t have thought of. It was also very informative.”<\/p>\n

On her customer service experience, Alaa commented: \u201cExtremely helpful. They were able to answer my queries.”<\/p>\n

When asked how life had changed since taking the test and how she would summarise her experience, Alaa concluded: \u201cI feel relieved and extremely happy to finally have answers to my symptoms. It’s unbelievable that taking one test could change my life forever!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
