I finally got round to booking my first telephone consultation with YorkTest last week, a very pleasant lady called today and discussed my results. I had already dropped many of the foods from my diet and have noticed improvements over the last few weeks. One of the foods was yeast which is in a large amount of foods including vinegar, although I can have spirit or distilled vinegar.

Advice given was to avoid foods with a score of 1 for 3 months this included Wheat, peanuts, gluten, cows milk and buckwheat.

Foods with a score of 2 to be avoided for 6 months included Egg yolk and yeast

A score of 3 mean’t to avoid for 9 months this was just egg white.

After the times had passed she advised trying small quantities of each to see if there was any adverse reaction, if no reaction should try consuming normally again but only once in every 4 days.

I’ll see how I go an report back

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.
