Premium Food Sensitivity Test

Overview:

What is food sensitivity?

A food sensitivity or food intolerance is when you have difficulty digesting certain foods and experience an unpleasant physical reaction. As individuals, our reactions to foods and drinks vary a great deal. An ingredient which may cause problems for one person could be completely acceptable for another. The most common food sensitivity symptoms are bloating and stomach pains, which usually come on a few hours after consuming the food.

Discovering and understanding your own personal food and drink sensitivities and intolerances, and the effects they have on your health and well-being is important to ensure you make the best possible choices to balance your diet.

Our Premium Food Sensitivity Test is ideal for IBS sufferers and includes a results guidebook and a food and drinks diary, all designed to support you by providing tailored dietary advice.

Why is it important to take the test?

When food particles enter the bloodstream, your immune system can sometimes identify these food proteins as ‘foreign’ and produces IgG antibodies to ‘attack’ the particular food in question. 

This response is your immune system’s natural defense mechanism to ward off harmful invaders in the body which can create inflammation. This inflammation can then trigger troublesome symptoms, which may persist if they are neglected.

Suffering from IBS, headaches, bloating, tiredness? These are often signs of a food sensitivity or a food intolerance affecting your daily life. The YorkTest Premium Food Sensitivity Test analyzes IgG reactions to over 200 food and drink ingredients.

**Patients must be aged 18 years or over to take this test. For those under 18 years old take the Junior Food Sensitivity Test. This test is not recommended for Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.**
