York Test Laboratories offer accurate food intolerance tests which are conducted with state-of-the-art equipment.

Yorktest food intolerance testing uses special DIY home testing kits so you can take your own blood sample at home.

Once you have the results for your test, it is recommended that you consult a nutritionist registered with the British Association for Nutritional Therapy (BANT), who will advise you how to eliminate foods from your diet and which foods you should substitute to ensure that you do not result in any nutritional deficiencies.

If you suffer from tiredness, anaemia, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea,

weight loss, vomiting or mouth ulcers, then this test may help to determine if you are gluten intolerant.

1 in 100 people suffer from gluten intolerance, yet 4 out of 5 people do not know they have it!

celiac disease?

Celiac disease is a genetically determined auto-immune disease caused by gluten intolerance. By this, we mean that the presence of gluten in a Coeliac’s diet causes the body’s immune system to produce antibodies that attack its own tissues, in this case the lining of the small intestine.

Gluten is a protein found mainly in wheat, barley and rye. Although some people with celiac disease may also not be able to tolerate oats

And left undiagnosed or untreated, sufferers are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis, infertility and cancer.

Find out if you have a gluten intolerance in just 10 minutes with the first self-test kit for detecting celiac disease (gluten intolerance).

The Biocard Celiac Test is as accurate as tests performed in a hospital laboratory.
