YorkTest Laboratories is Europe’s leading provider of food intolerance programmes with over 29 years’ experience, and is recommended by leading medical charity Allergy UK.

 

According to Allergy UK, as many as 45%* of the population suffers from food intolerance which, whilst not life threatening, can make all aspects of life very uncomfortable for sufferers.

 

The YorkTest Food Intolerance Programme provides nutritional support and guidance to help manage your food intolerance symptoms from trained Nutritional Therapists.  The programme includes a home-to-laboratory, pin-prick blood sample kit to test for food-specific IgG antibodies against 113 foods.  Your personalised results pack includes comprehensive test results and a guide book explaining the principles of treating food intolerance by eliminating certain foods from your diet.  You will also receive a handy credit card sized summary of your results and two telephone consultations with a BANT** registered Nutritional Therapist to support you in changing your diet, plus one year’s free membership to the leading medical charity Allergy UK. 

 

For anyone who is uncertain as to whether IgG antibody food reactions are present, a pre-screen is available – the First Step Test.

 

Our extensive portfolio of finger prick blood tests are processed in our accredited laboratory, providing you with peace of mind that you are receiving high quality, laboratory analysed results in the comfort of your home. In addition to our food intolerance programme we also provide environmental allergy testing, a liver function test, a homocysteine test, a stool test, a glucose test and a personalised diet plan.
