I learned so much about myself
I learned so much about myself! After feeling ill and confused for a terribly long time without explanation with multiple Doctor visit I was finally pointed towards York test and all became clear.
I'm now feeling so much healthier and better for discovering what foods I should not of been eating and were keeping me feeling constantly unwell.

Unprompted review
For anyone suffering from eczema !
For anyone suffering from eczema, I wanted to share my experience. I’ve had eczema for over 20 years, and in the past 8 months it became much worse. I was always told it was contact dermatitis because it only affected my hands, so I never considered food as a possible cause.
For the last 3 months, it got so bad that I could barely use my hands—they felt like they were burning, with blisters and open wounds.
I came across food intolerance testing and decided to give it a try. The results showed that I was severely allergic to sesame seeds and, to a lesser extent, cashews. At first, I didn’t believe it. But after testing it myself by eliminating and reintroducing foods, I realized sesame was the trigger.
I had been consuming sesame regularly without thinking—especially sesame oil and tahini.
Since cutting it out, I’ve seen a real improvement. I’m sharing this as an honest review in the hope that it helps someone else who might be struggling like I was.

Misleading test
I was very hopeful that the result of the test would confirm / deny my understanding of quite a few suspected food intolerances - I was careful to check that the 'premium food intolerance test' covered the long list of foods that I suspect that I am intolerant to before buying it. There was no guidance on what to eat before taking the test, and of course I do normally avoid the foods as far as possible that make me feel unwell. The results therefore didn't show very much at all (and I'm not intolerant to the items that it highlighted either) but then I noticed on the result page the following disclaimer:
Please also note that if you have already been successfully excluding certain foods from your diet due to a previously suspected intolerance then that intolerance may not show up on the results.
This note was not on the webpage where you buy the test and therefore it was very misleading to find out that after paying for it and doing the test that it wouldn't show any results. If I had known that I would have had to eat all the things that I can't normally eat then I would have done this to try to get a better insight, or just not taken the test and continued the exclusionary diet. I have emailed to request a refund because this was extremely misleading, but haven't had any response.

Find out what is good for your body.
I did the test and was surprised by what I had intolerances to. I cut them out, and greatly reduced the amount of medium risk foods out too and was impressed by how quickly I started to notice differences. I lost weight and felt better in myself. I followed the instructions given by the nutritionist and after 12 weeks slowly reintroduced certain foods into my diet. I've noticed too much of a change and still feel good. I have recommended doing these tests to friends and family who have also experienced positive results.

Don’t waste your money
Don’t waste your money. Did an Intolerance Test and an Allergy Test. Both came back with a high score cows milk ( 5 on Allergy , 100 on Intolerance)
Went to my doctor who did a blood test which came back normal no issues.
Allergy UK quote NICE which says IgG ( intolerance) are of no proven diagnostic value and all tests should be through your doctor.
See your doctor, don’t waste your time and money.
Update to above. 15/4/26
Had a very quick response. After a bit of information exchange and medical excuses about what they test and how my doctor tests I was offered a refund.
I was offered a refund if I changed my review, not because they said one thing and my doctor said the opposite. I refuse the refund as I have only reported on what I have experienced. They are only interested in the poor review, not the result for me, time and money wasted for me and the NHS. Do your research first before parting with your money. As a footnote see the Guardian article on the subject. Good luck

Thank you for sharing your experience — we’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Firstly, it’s important to clarify the difference between food allergies and food intolerances, as they are often confused but involve very different immune responses.
A food allergy is typically an immediate reaction mediated by IgE antibodies, which can be identified through standard NHS allergy blood tests. In contrast, a food intolerance is associated with IgG antibody responses and tends to produce delayed symptoms, sometimes hours or even days after consuming a food. This difference means intolerance-related reactions are not usually detected through standard GP allergy testing.
We also understand the reference to NICE and Allergy UK guidance. NICE guidelines are designed to provide the best possible care within a defined NHS budget. With research suggesting that up to 45% of the population may experience food intolerances, routine testing for all individuals is not currently feasible within publicly funded healthcare.
It’s also worth noting that NHS guidance evolved in August 2025, and blood testing is now recognised as a supportive tool when investigating food intolerances in appropriate contexts, particularly when used alongside symptoms and dietary review.
Our company is customer-centric and ensures that all customers experience the very best testing, service and aftercare. Please contact our customer service team on 01904 410 410 or client.support@yorktest.com.
YorkTest has requested your information from Trustpilot so we can verify your order, contact you to provide education about your testing, and offer aftercare to support you with your symptoms.
Easy test, fast and accurate results.
The test arrived quickly, was easy to do and I had my results 48 hours later. My results really surprised me, but after eliminating certain foods from my diet and feeling significantly better over the next few weeks, they were proved to be right. I found the staff to be very helpful and knowledgable and I would definitely recommend them as a company.

Not impressed at all
Not impressed at all, got results back in a day, said I was not allergic to milk but that it is the one thing I am really allergic to, and apparently cockroaches. Definitely not worth the large amount I paid.

Hi Steve,
We understand how confusing it can be when test results don’t seem to match your personal experience. It’s important to note that antibody-based tests measure the immune system’s response to specific proteins, which depends on exposure. If milk has been avoided or consumed very little, antibody levels may be low or undetectable at the time of testing, which can result in a non-reactive outcome despite previous symptoms.
Regarding the cockroach result, this is an IgE-mediated environmental marker rather than a food-related response. Sensitisation to cockroach allergens can occur through indirect exposure, such as household dust, and is relatively common in some environments. For many individuals, this does not necessarily translate into noticeable symptoms or a clinically significant allergy.
Our tests are designed to provide insights that should be considered alongside your symptoms, medical history, and guidance from a healthcare professional.
We truly value your feedback and would be happy to look into your case further if you’d like to contact our customer support team directly on 01904 410 410 or client.support@yorktest.com.
Really good and professional service. Results came back quickly and I found the following up consoltation woth the nutritionist very helpful and learnt a lot.

Really helped me
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The food intolerance test arrived quickly, the instruction was easy to follow and in a few days I received my results. The call with the nutritionist iwas really helpful and a few weeks after following her advice I started to feel better. The probiotics also helped. I have now reintroduced the item that I removed from my diet as I no longer feel as inflamed and I feel good. The team followed up with me with a phone call two more times which was very professional.

After two tests and a consultation I’m now on a path to changing my diet and lifestyle. I didn’t expect dramatic results from the tests but they revealed so much, I am now hopeful some changes off the back of my results will significantly improve my life.

Very easy test to order and administer at home
Very easy test to administer at home. Explanations are super clear! The results are very easy to read, understand. I also used the nutritionist advice (included in the package) and it was excellent. Very clear, precise, to the point. I am taking on board the recommendations. Oh, and there is lots of guides and advice that you can access based on your results.
Customer service is also excellent. I had a question by email and I got a call back providing me with the answer and reassurance. I do not recall any company doing it.
And the fact that I can order it myself without involving my dietitian is amazing. Freedom!

What i appreciated was being validated as I gave a little summary of my journey to health, my results were in the normal range so it was good to touch base with the dietitian, to find a direction to go in next. Greatly appreciated her listening skills and helpful insight, thank you, very much.
