Snaklog

I had the chance to study my results over the weekend and to have a good read of the literature sent by YorkTest.

The literature they sent included:

Leaflet on Egg intolerance
Leaflet on Yeast intolerance
Details of the 2 telephone consultations with a qualified nutritionist, the first suggested early on with a follow up a few weeks later.
Results guidebook which is a step by step guide to making the most of your results. The format is laid out to show the four steps involved in making a plan to improve your health and diet. Steps covered include getting prepared, planning a diet and the initial nutritionist consultation, starting the new diet and finally reviewing your progress and taking the follow up consultation.
12 week food diary where you record what you eat at breakfast, lunch, dinner and any snacks. Each day you also record how you are feeling. The diary also gave a tip each week and also posed the questions any new symptoms and have you eliminated all your problem foods. The majority of this functionality is included in Snaklog.

All the literature appeared to be of a high standard and was easy to read and understand. It’s probably best to read all the info a couple of times to make sure you really understand it. I would advise taking the leaflets with you on any shopping trips, in my case the Egg and Yeast intolerance as these can both hide in food stuffs under a variety of different name.

My next step is to take up my first telephone consultation. I’ll report later on that.

A very nice lady from YorkTest called me today to explain that they had the results of the stage one test. She asked me a couple of questions about any symptoms I had and if I had already made any dietary changes.

I told her I had been diagnosed with IBS and that I had already cut wheat from my diet. She explained that the part one food intolerance test had come back positive indicating a food intolerance and that I could pay a further £245 to have a FoodScan 113 done this would indicate which foods from a possible 113 I have shown an intolerance to on a scale of 1 to 4.

I would also be able to have a telephone consultation with a nutritionist who would be able to help me set up an elimination diet. I said I wanted to proceed with the FoodScan 113 test and would call her later with credit card details. Following payment I should receive results within 10 days.
