Is what You eat making You Ill?

Over 20 million people in the UK suffer chronic illness such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, eczema, arthritis, migraines or feel bloated, lack energy or are tired all the time. YorkTest Laboratories uses a two-stage process designed to test for food intolerances.

Step 1

York Test Food Intolerance Indicator - £19.56

The First Step food intolerance test can be carried out in the comfort of your home without the need to go to a clinic or specialist. The First Step food intolerance test enables you to eliminate uncertainty and confirm whether you have food intolerance by providing an overall  ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ test result. This way you can check if you have food intolerance before taking the Second Step FoodScan 113 which is the comprehensive service that identifies the specific foods you are intolerant to. If you upgrade to the FoodScan 113, £20 is disounted off the price.

Once you place an order, your First Step test kit is posted to you which contains everything you need to take your own blood sample (just 2-3 drops). Once the sample is collected it is posted to our laboratories for analysis in the prepaid envelope provided. Your results are then posted to you within ten working days.

Taking the First Step Food Intolerance Test
Your First Step test kit will contain everything you need to take the test in four easy steps:


Fill in the enclosed customer details form and write your name and date clearly on the side of the wand container with the pen provided.


Hold the plastic wand by the plastic cover against the blood droplet and allow it to be soaked up. Once the wand is completely red it will mean there is enough blood to test.

Place the lancet on the side of your finger or thumb and press down quickly. Massage the finger until there is a large droplet of blood.

Immediately place the full wand inside the container. Place this and the used lancet in the prepaid envelope provided and return to us.

Step 2

Foodscan 113 Food Intolerance Test - £265

The highly comprehensive, Foodscan 113 test from YorkTest Laboratories tests for food sensitivity to 113 individual foods, from cow’s milk to yeast, tea to tomatoes, wheat to walnuts, egg yolk to mustard seeds, gluten, tuna, beef, lamb and lentils. Results tell you which foods to avoid, which are borderline and which cause no reaction.

Over 75% of people who take Foodscan 113 Food Intolerance Test enjoy a noticeable improvement – the majority within three weeks of eliminating the offending foods.  Despite being so extensive, the YorkTest Foodscan 113 is a quick and easy 100% home test that delivers reliable laboratory test results within just 10 days.

This service costs £265 (including two FREE Nutritionist telephone consultations, providing comprehensive support and advice on manageing your elimination diet)
