I got the test because I had been feeling brushed off by my doctor. I had been diagnosed with IBS, reflux and allergies that gave me a range of symptoms, from feeling bloated or hungry, even after a large meal that lead to weight gain to chest and head pains and at its worst, coughing up blood, bleeding out of my nose and blood in my stalls. The doctors were very good at making sure that the condition was not more serious, such as cancer etc. but after that, they were very poor in helping me to manage the symptoms.

Experimenting by oneself to figure out what affects the condition is a very long-winded and error prone task. When the symptoms have flared, they took a long time to settle down again and it was never that clear what flared them – was it food, stress or the air that I had breathed recently. After the intolerance test, I got a list of exactly which pollens, moulds, and foods I was intolerant to. Very quickly, after cutting everything out on the list, my IBS and reflux vanished, I have not bled since and I started to lose weight.

Happy days. I am very thankful for the test as it gave me exactly the advice that I needed at the time when I needed it.
