She explained how these symptoms had affected her during this time, &#8220;It controlled my day-to-day life as I was unable to do anything the next day as it always happened at night. I was not able to plan our days or go out on holiday as I didn&#8217;t know when it was going to happen and when it did, I needed to be near a toilet at all times. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-228145 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/IMG20231005111350-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Middle aged woman in jeans posing for a photo in the park on a bridge\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Carol learned about YorkTest through a friend who had also tried a food intolerance test in search for a solution to her symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>After taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/products\/premium-food-sensitivity\/\">Premium Food Sensitivity Test<\/a>, Carol found she had IgG reactivity to egg yolk, cow&#8217;s milk and yeast. After eliminating her trigger ingredients, her symptoms began to take a turn for the better. &#8220;So much better, I&#8217;ve not had any of the symptoms so far. I lost some weight (hooray), so was happy about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about her experience with trying to eliminate multiple foods from her diet, Carol said, &#8220;It was not easy to start with but it&#8217;s okay now.&#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 egg, 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 Carol&#8217;s sensitvities. Following on from the test, we asked Carol how she found the customer service experience to which she replied: &#8220;very helpful.&#8221; Carol also found her nutritional consultation &#8220;very helpful, listened to what I had to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked to sum up her whole experience with YorkTest, Carol concluded: &#8220;I have my life back, all is great.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have my life back, all is great<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":781,"template":"","review_category":[156],"class_list":["post-780","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","review_category-ibs-digestive-problems"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews\/780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reviews"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
