Everlywell Food Sensitivity Comprehensive Test - Learn How Your Body Responds to 204 Different Foods - At-Home Collection

I've been dealing with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) for many years (about 10 years I believe) in which food would get stuck almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I've been to the doctors, specialists, and had multiple dilations but nothing would work and dilations would only last a few months at most. I decided to try the Everlywell food sensitivity test to see if there was any chance the root cause of my issue could be identified. I was skeptical it would work and only took the chance since my FSA covered the purchase. Taking the test itself was kind of a pain. I went through the instructions and video a couple times before getting started. I even wondered if I was really going to be able to accomplish this myself. It was kind of messy and had to ultimately use my ring finger and middle finger which were bruised for a few days afterwards. Obviously, the results made this process well worth it! I received a notification alert on my phone when the results were ready which took about a week after mailing the sample. The results indicated 0 High Reactivity foods, 3 Moderate, 21 Mild, and 180 foods with normal reactivity. The three moderate ones were Barely Grain, Egg Yok, and Pistachio. When I reviewed the details of each, along with some of the hidden sources of the food, I thought to myself this could really be the information I've been looking for. I would normally eat eggs or cereal about 5-6 days a week, have some beer and mixed nuts when hanging out with friends and watching MMA and football. There were also some sauces in the fridge that had barley as well. It's been 3 weeks now since eliminating pistachios and cereal, switching to egg beaters, and substituting beer for White Claw and Truly. I first started noticing a difference in eating after about 5 days and has slowly improved to where I was ready to test with a burger. Yesterday for dinner I took my family to Chili's so I could order a huge burger since they have some of the best. I was actually able to eat some chicken wings as an appetizer and a burger with fries without any issues! I can't believe all the years I've been dealing with EOE, all I had to do was to spend $200 on a home food sensitivity test as opposed to the many thousands spent for appointments, testing, procedures, and medications! On a side note, to help avoid any hidden sources of my moderate food sensitivities, I take a picture of the label in the ChatGPT app so it can evaluate the ingredients and let me know if it's ok to eat. It's done very well and has caught some items with hidden sources of barley. I hope this information is useful for anyone. Read more

I was very hesitant on buying this product becuase of all the negative reviews. Also becuase when I buy things on amazon my husband rolls his eyes at every thing that shows up at the door....but OMG i'm so glad I did! I've been with my husband going on 8 years now and he's always had unexplained severe stomach pains. At first I though he was lactos intolerant like I am..... convincing him to try lactaid milk with me. Nothing changed the stomach pains kept happeneing. He would tell me details about his bowl movements (i'll spare you the details) and would always tell me something wrong with his stomach. I felt helpless to help him. On a couple of occassions we took him to the doctor for blood in his stool. He came home with hemorid cream and a referal to a gasteroenteroligist. The gastroenterologist doctor suggested a colonoscopy. So my husband never went back lol. The stomach pains continued. He drives for work 12 hours a day and it's coivd right now so finding a bathroom is impossible for him. He will get this IMMEDIATE urge to go to the bathroom and has to go NOW or else it will happen then and there. Ive experienced this several time with him while we are out and about at stores. He will give me a panicked look and I know we have to find a bathroom NOW! So off to another gastroenterologist. This one suggested an elimination diet for gluten intolerance and I agreed. My husband did not agree. He's on the road driving and always picks up random foods to snack on so he said he didn't want to do it, it would be to diffuclt for him and his lifestyle. So for my poo husband the pains for him just kept coming... with no real answerss. Now he's suffering joint pains, migranes, sleep issued and severe stomach pains daily and I became desperate to help him. I found this pruduct online. I thought well if we dont get any answers we are out some money.... whatever both him and I are desperate. Husband wasn't happy when it showed up at the door and especially when i told him how much it cost lol. Then I told him I was gonna poke him with a needle (i'm a phlebotomist) and get his blood for the card and he said no. I talked him into it and I so glad I did! When the results came back we found he had average reactivity levels for lots of different foods.....except the milk allergy was high seemed a bit higher! At this moment I knew we had found it!!! I had never even known a milk allergy was a thing! Being lactose intollerant myself I always assumed that that is was it was, just lastose intolerance... but the stomach issuses continued. Drinking lastaid milk had never helped with his stomach aches! That very day I stocked up the house with almond milk becuase my lastose milk actually still has milk product he was reacting to in it! Sure enough he hasn't had stomach ache since!!!! I'm so happy we found out what it was. He was suffereing with this his whole life (he's 32 years) and we never knew. I'm so excited to find if this will help with other things I had read amount: migranes, joint pain, feeling less fatigue, weight gain (he cant gain ANY weight) sleeping problems and his ADHD. Beyond glad I got this for him and he is to!! Buy it! It could be the answer youve been looking for you whole life! Read more

I do not write bad reviews unless i feel it is something that will help people decide if they should spend money on something that was so misrepresented. My daughters ordered tests and came back with a comprehensive list of the items high reaction. I dk if it is true or not but they were both different. So I thought this could be legitimate So I gave it a try. I struggle with IBS my whole life. I know I have a series of foods that I am highly sensitive to and would have to come up on the test. I got nothing. Now I wonder if my daughters tests were reliable? Maybe it was random , I dont know My test showed just a few items that were not really sensitive but just slightly elevated. The foods I know that should've come up were registering very low near 1-2 with 0 being the lowest. It is impossible. I have had testing done over the years and I get the same foods with high sensitivity. Nothing came up. I have to come to the conclusion that this is a very unreliable and inaccurate method of testing for food sensitivities. If you really want to know what foods you are sensitive I suggest going to a legitimate doctor. This test wasn't cheap and it is useless to me. Since there is no customer service number you can not speak to a live person. you can only email. The emails went back and forth a few times. I think it could've been a robot because they just recited web site information and directed me to videos . SAVE YOUR MONEY! Read more
