“So happy to have had the test and have a clearer understanding as to why I felt so poorly for so long<\/strong>“<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

47-year-old university lecturer Simon Pattison had been suffering with issues related to IBS for 10 years which related to a former hiatus hernia diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Simon explained how these symptoms affected him over the years, “I was often in pain or severe discomfort throughout the day which would affect my job.”<\/p>\n

After Simon’s was recommended YorkTest to try and get to the root cause of his symptoms, he decided to give it a go. “I was due to have surgery and I wanted a more clear understanding of my gut health prior to the surgery.”<\/p>\n

After taking a Premium Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>, Simon found he had IgG reactivity to a number of different foods including dairy and gluten.<\/p>\n

After eliminating his trigger ingredients, Simon saw visible improvements within a couple of weeks.\u00a0 “I felt better. I’m not in pain every day! That’s a win-win as far as I’m concerned.”<\/p>\n

Talking about his experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from his diet, Simon said: “Easy. If you have been in as much pain for as long as I have, giving up a certain food type is easy, especially if it’s ‘poisoning’ you.”<\/p>\n

YorkTest analyses your IgG reactions to 200 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 Simon’s intolerances. Following on from the test, the YorkTest Customer Care Team are on hand to answer any queries and offer follow-up advice along with our expert nutritional therapists.<\/p>\n

When asked how he found his experience with our customer service, Simon said: “Amazing. It’s rare to have this level of care and customer service.”<\/p>\n

On his overall experience with YorkTest Simon remarked, “Put simply, I’m just so happy to have had the test and have a clearer understanding as to why I felt so poorly for so long. I have subsequently recommended the test to friends and family as I’m so impressed with the test and more importantly the level of service. Very happy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
