Yorktest are a leading health and wellness company with 38 years of excellence and scientific expertise in the provision of home to laboratory tests and provide effective health and wellness advice and support.

Their range of Food Intolerance Tests, Allergy Tests and health tests are designed to empower you to better understand, take control and optimise your health and wellbeing.

When food particles enter the bloodstream, your immune system can sometimes identify these food proteins as ‘foreign’ and produces IgG antibodies to ‘attack’ the particular food in question. This response is your immune system’s natural defence mechanism to ward off harmful invaders in the body which can create inflammation.

This inflammation can then trigger troublesome symptoms, which may persist if they are neglected.
