I wasn't sure it's worth trying to have this test. But then I saw the reviews and I thought that it's well worth trying. I was simply desperate. NHS wasn't doing practically much, expecting me to identify these food sensitivities by myself. NHS only confirmed a mild allergy to trees, but didn't mention which. Well, with this test, I found out that they were the birch. Another thing this test confirmed is Sulphur Dioxide reaction, something I was suspecting, but there is no official test for it and it's harder than you think to do an elimination diet. An elimination diet is difficult and for me, it's a bit pointless, because what you don't know is what the fruits and vegetables are sprayed with. Or how the milk is changing the chemical composition when you warm it up. So I could be ok with cold milk, but not hot or milk from brand A, but not B. Or chickpease in water but not as a humus. This is how I used this test: I first gave them benefit of doubt that everything is correct so I eliminated absolutely everything, red and mild for a few days (I react to shellac?? or agar? How could I spot these??). Then I tested each individually. The test turned out to be a blessing! It doesn't say I'm intolerant or sensitive to yeast even if this was confirmed by another test. But this is also because at this point, I wasn't eating too much yeast already so I think the test shows what you're sensitive to from what you're exposed to! If you change exposure or food, then the test is changing. Anyway, well worth the money. It's the best buy out of thousands spent on "official tests" which produced no answers. I'm not having a go at medical domain here. I merely point out my own experience and the limitations of existing medical services.
