“I learnt that I have a moderate risk of lactose intolerance”

Intolerances and sensitivities to certain foods can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, making it important to identify and understand your body's unique needs. Checking for these sensitivities can lead to better dietary choices and improved well-being. Bethan's experience with our Intolerances and Sensitivities DNA Test highlights the benefits of gaining such insights:

"About ten years ago I watched a TV programme which explained how some people couldn’t digest regular milk but could drink filtered milk. It was a turning point for me. I didn’t know why, but filtered milk became my go-to for tea, coffee or milkshakes.

However, when I moved in with my boyfriend - a regular full-fat milk lover, he was convinced that filtered milk was a myth, and that it didn’t benefit me. Something didn’t feel right when I’d drink the regular full-fat milk, and I could never put my finger on why.

Fast forward to doing the Intolerances and Sensitivities DNA Test and I learnt that I have a moderate risk of lactose intolerance. The filtered milk claims were right all along!

The feedback and advice I received on lifestyle and dietary changes were easy to understand and simple to not just try, but keep as part of my daily and dietary routines. Most importantly, I was able to settle on having two types of milk in the fridge. Filtered semi-skimmed for me, and full fat for my boyfriend. And now I understand why."

Bethan’s story underscores the value of understanding your body's unique responses to different foods. The Intolerances and Sensitivities DNA Test can provide the insights you need to make informed dietary choices and improve your overall well-being.
