Food Intolerance Testing with York Test Labs Pt 2: Results

May 28, 2019 By lyndsinreallife Leave a Comment

A couple weeks ago, I shared about Part One of my food intolerance testing with York Test Labs. Quick summary: I was given the opportunity to take an at-home food and drink intolerance test. I sent two little cotton swabs of blood to be tested for over 200 common intolerances. Note: this blood test checks for intolerances (some are possible intolerances), not allergies.

Disclosure: Lipton Publicity provided a sample, and the opinion I express is 100% my own.

I’m back to share my results with you! Via email, I received these results:

The top red ones (in the first photo) with the black dots are what my blood reacted to. The only one I’m sad and surprised by is the cocoa bean! I’ll definitely have to get more info on the specifics of that. If I can’t have chocolate ever, what kind of life would that be?! 😉

I’m not surprised by the milk and eggs (including yolk). I’m bummed about beef, because I love a good cheeseburger. With the eggs, it’s funny: exactly 5 years ago, I started eating food that only felt good in my body, even though some of the foods I couldn’t eat were considered healthy. Here’s the post:

That post was specifically talking about eggs! Eggs have always made me feel bloated, despite never feeling full. It felt good reading these results and knowing it wasn’t all in my head.

The yellow food/drinks with the black dots are things my blood sort of reacted to. Those are possible intolerances, but not a “for sure.” Everything else, I didn’t have a reaction to! Pretty awesome.

Had I taken this test a year ago, I’d be so sad about the intolerances to wine. But, luckily, I no longer drink, so it’s not a big deal to me.

After receiving the results, you’re given a phone number to call and schedule TWO 30-minute nutritional therapy sessions! You’ll talk with a professional to better understand your results and ask any questions. You’ll also receive a food diary and guidebook.

I feel extremely satisfied with the testing process with York Test Labs, and the results I received. I highly recommend checking out their website to learn more, & to purchase your own kit! There’s nothing more important than your health.

Food Intolerance Testing with York Test Labs, Pt 1

May 12, 2019 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

I never knew there was such a thing as food intolerances. I knew about food allergies (peanut, gluten, and such), but not intolerances. A few years ago, I started paying attention to how different foods affect me. I suspected I had some intolerances, but admittedly, didn’t do anything about it.

Luckily, York Test Labs offers a food intolerance blood test that checks for reactions to over 200 foods and drinks! The blood prick test is done at home, and mailed in to the company for testing.

Disclosure: Lipton Publicity provided a sample test, and the opinion I express is my own.

“The test identifies IgG antibody reactions that indicate which items may be causing inflammation and symptoms, defining each individual’s personal “food fingerprint.”

The test comes with two pricks, two tubes, an alcohol cleansing wipe, and a bandaid.

First, I filled out the form, and made sure my name was clearly written on the tubes.

Then I pricked my finger tip, and let the blood absorb into the cotton part of the tube.

Note: do not prick the finger you use most often, like I did. 😂

I put the form and tubes into the addressed and paid postage envelope, and sent it via USPS. Now, I wait for my results! I can’t wait!

York Test Labs has 35 years of experience in diagnostic testing and were awarded the Food Intolerance Testing Company of the Year.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of my food intolerance test, where I will share my results!

Thank you for reading!
