I couldn&#8217;t do my Zumba class, meet people and socialise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-227083 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/case-study-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"middle aged woman posing with a glass of beer and a book in her hands while smiling at the camera\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen learned about YorkTest after her daughter recommended to try a food intolerance test to find the root cause of her symptoms. &#8220;Everything I tried to eat was going through me and my daughter was worried.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/products\/premium-food-sensitivity\/\">Premium Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>\u00a0Kathleen found she had IgG reactivity to cow&#8217;s milk and eggs. After eliminating her trigger ingredients, her symptoms began to take a turn for the better within two to three weeks.\u00a0 &#8220;I feel confident on walking groups, I&#8217;m back to Zumba and eating out with family and friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about her experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from her diet, Kathleen said, &#8220;I soon got used to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>YorkTest analyses your IgG reactions to <strong>200 food and drinks<\/strong> \u2013 from common ingredients like cow\u2019s milk, gluten and\u00a0egg, to health superfoods like kale and quinoa.<\/p>\n<p>The process, which involves sending a finger-prick blood sample to the company\u2019s laboratories revealed Kathleen&#8217;s intolerances. Following on from the test, we asked Kathleen how she found the customer service experience to which she replied: &#8220;very good&#8221; as was her appointment with her nutritional expert.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to sum up her whole experience with YorkTest, Kathleen concluded: &#8220;Amazing. I feel very confident. I am doing things I thought I wouldn&#8217;t do again.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazing, I feel very confident.
