YorkTest & Lorisian Food Intolerance Home Test Kits

Hi everyone,

I’m very pleased to be writing this review tonight as I’ll be showing you some great home test kits that will prove invaluable to you in the quest of better health and lifestyle.

Food intolerance is something that always causes a bit of a debate or confusion and getting the doctor to approve blood tests to check for this is sometimes impossible. Due to this a generation of Britons could be putting their health at risk by wrongly self-diagnosing a food allergy or intolerance, ‘Instead of having their condition medically diagnosed and treating the root cause of their symptoms, millions of people are needlessly cutting whole food groups out of their diet, (Dr Carina Venter, allergy specialist at the University of Portsmouth).

The other key problem is that people don’t understand what intolerance means. It is different to allergies as this is an immediate reaction that can be serious, “where as intolerance is much more common and people eat certain things and get bloating, headaches, aches and pains, migraines all of which are very difficult to pin point and associate with a food as it could be something that you have 3-4 days ago and avoiding foods is very difficult.”

Remember if your not assessing your guessing!

YorkTest is the only food intolerance test on the UK market that has passed clinical trials and is approved by the charity Allergy UK. These food intolerance tests offer the most scientific approach available on the market and the most professional in my opinion.

The tests (bar the gut health test) is a simple finger prick blood test that allows the lab techs to analyses IgG antibody reactions to food and drink ingredients. Once you have your report back from the First Test you will have a simple yes or no. If you do have a yes then you can upgrade at a special price within ten days to find out what sensitivity to what food or drink you have. You then get a full report back like this one foodscan113 results.

3-4 (means avoid)- means you have raised IgG antibody levels to these foods and you should try to eliminate these foods completely from your diet. With the grading 4 is the highest and indicates the strength of your reaction. Although it won’t necessarily correspond to any severity of symptoms you may have. They advise removing those with the highest result first.

Below 1 (Borderline)-indicates you have a borderline reaction to these foods and may or may not benefit from limiting their consumption.

0 (No reaction)- these foods can be eaten without restriction, unless you already know these foods do cause you a reaction and you have already been avoiding them, in which case you should continue to do so.

You now have good strong evidence that you will benefit by eliminating the ingredient(s) identified, from your diet.

If you order any of these home test kits you will get a bio hazardous envelope, a finger pricker, an absorbant wand to soak up the blood and a small vile to place the wand in. Once you complete the protocol, you pop it all in the box and envelope and send it off in the post and await your results.
