- 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/8/2019Much easier and cheaper than a previous food test I took at a nutritionist's office (they would not even release my results unless I paid them an extra visit fee.) Everlywell is easier, at home, no hidden fews, quick results and accurate. Additionally, the results were similar to the one I took at the nutritionist's office.
Food sensitivity test
DanielleOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase8/1/2020Ordered the food sensitivity test. The results showed me that my issue was egg whites and almonds. Just eliminated almonds which I ate daily and the bloating and discomfort has stopped in just three days. So glad I did this! I skipped the whole process of having to go to a Doctor, then to a lab to get the same results.
Best investment on myself ever
Tony ROriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 4 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/31/2021I used this product to see if I had any sensitivities to food due to having a limited diet (pescatarian). Overall, my result came in that I am mildly sensitive to some vegetables and meat and moderately sensitive to coffee. I am looking forward to trying an elimination diet to see if curbing coffee helps with my indigestion.
Review
BeccaOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/25/2018I've been having food issues for years. My GI doc tested the big things like ciliac which was negative and basically told me to start an elimination diet but I had no idea where to start! I wanted my test to be accurate so I put my guts thru the wringer and ate everything about a week before the test. I tested high class 2 for things I knew like milk and apples but was surprised what else joined that list!! Every day things I eat were on the high class 2 list! No wonder I'm having issues! I know this isn't an exact science but it feels amazing to have a starting point. I'll be eliminating all the high class 2.s and we'll see what happens!
Very surprised!!
FrostieOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 4 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/15/2022My first box I received I had a very hard time being able to fill the sample so I sent my sad sample in just to see what would happen. I got an email that the lab could accept my results but would send a new test if I wanted to continue. I had emailed with the customer service for tricks and tips on getting a better sample and they were wonderful. When my next kit arrived I was able to be successful in one go-round. If you have trouble - take a warm shower and take the test as soon as you can after!
Great Customer Service and Quick Results
Madelyn BOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/24/2020I got the everlywell food sensitivity kit and was dying to find answers! I have been trying to log which foods seem to give me discomfort, but I couldn't pinpoint anything besides garlic and the test showed garlic was a food I was sensitive to! I love their wide variety of tests!
So happy to find answers
ChelseapowrOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/23/2022I found that I had sensitivities that I was totally unaware of. My sister has Celiac and hers didn't show a sensitivity to gluten or wheat but mine showed both. I guess I'll have to start reading labels more. I also ordered the Metabolism Test and found out some really good news.
I was impressed and amazed with the results.
Eating healthierOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/18/2019I was shocked to learn I was highly reactive to eggs. I love them and having been eating them every day for the last 20+ years. I've recently eliminated them, among other foods, from my diet so I'll be interested to see how my lab work fares with these gone. It was very informative to read the results and I'm very happy I did it.
Interesting results!
MROriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/26/2018The process was a little longer than what they said on the website. It took 5 business days longer to ship back the test than what they said. The results were a little confusing, I couldn't tell if a "low" response meant "No Response - safe to eat" or "small response." So that was confusing. It didn't show any moderate or high responses, so I feel like I shouldn't be as sick as I am with only 5 mild responses, so I am definitely left wondering if there are some false negatives. Bottom line, if someone was desperate to learn more about food sensitivities I would recommend it, but caution that it's not a cure all.
Semi-Helpful
EmilyOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/19/2019I used the food sensitivity test and it was easy to complete. I had a little trouble with the figure device as it was a little different from the one pictured in brochure, but figured out I just had to take the cap off and then press against my finger. The results from my test have provided the information I was looking for in order to start an elimination diet to handle symptoms of bloating and skin blemishes.
The product was exactly what I was looking for, answers!
Busy momOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/11/2019I completed the food intolerance test for myself and both my children. We had been told we did not have food allergies after having the poke test on the back performed. Yet we continued to experience systems that could not be explained. I discovered that we each have about 20 mild food intolerances. Most of them were the same for all 3 of us, but many were different as well. I'm so relieved that we can now remove the proper foods from our diets, instead of guessing as we were doing before. I had a feeling that gluten was a culprit, and it was. But there were so many others that we can now monitor/eliminate as well.
Wow! Amazing!
LeslieOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/14/2019Because IgG levels decline when not exposed to an allergen, the Food Sensitivity test can be misconstrued. I know I am highly sensitive to gluten (e.g., in white, rye, barley and hidden in soy and other ingredients) but my results came back as mild sensitivity. I've been off gluten for over 8 years. I was also well aware of sensitivity to cow dairy, just by experiencing symptoms, and I think it's higher than my IgG levels indicate, since I also mostly avoid it. Bottom line is I am going to try to eliminate a few of the unexpected things on my mild sensitivity list, but overall, this was not that useful for the money (for me).
Valuable only if actively eating all foods on list
DarleneOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/2/2020I was introduced to Everlywell by a family member who used the product and the recommended it. I have had digestive issues and it never occured to me that I could have food sensitivities. I can trust the results are accurate and that the shipping is secure.
I highly recommend Everlywell.
ElaineOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase9/6/2018Hi! I'm a very to the cuff reviewer. Trying to be honest, as I am doing this to support consumers, their purchases and the company. The company is professional, the kit was clean and easy. There was no fasting which was one question I had, (why? Or why not?) Not much blood was needed, as other labs request, which is unnecessary on an outside lab approach. So my sensitivities at this point in life and that is how I look at it: Brewers yeast(beer), bakers yeast(bread). Beer gives me headaches so I avoid it, easy to do. Bakers yeast can be eliminated by using sourdough starter which I can do. The jury is still out on that one. Nutritional yeast I can also avoid. Wish there were suggestions as possibilities to proceed forward while Eliminating ...
Yes, I would purchase again.
JeanjeanieOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase5/3/2019I found my results to be interesting, but with a caveat. The way I read the results was that they're basically inconclusive. If I hadn't had a particular type of food, then it won't necessarily register. I know I'm sensitive to wheat and corn, but those two items barely registered on my test. Well, in reading through the analysis, I found a sentence that basically says the above. Since I know I'm sensitive, I avoid wheat and corn, and that's why they don't register. This could really mislead someone. With that said, I found some surprises, like yeast. As soon as I read that, I thought, "Of course!" It made perfect sense. So, it's a good test, and they're quick, but there is the above caveat.
Interesting, but...
M this L thatOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/12/2020Could have started an elimination diet that could have taken forever to identify, if I didn't know where to start. I m glad I took the test to find that Im highly sensitive to Cows Milk, yogurt, Mozzarella and egg whites. Ive started my journey to eliminate and find substitute for these everyday items. Hasn't been easy, but a lot easier than eliminating certain foods for 3weeks over and over to identify what Im highly sensitive too. Sharing my new journey with friends has started new conversations about, how taking this simple test, may change their lives.
Wow, could have taken forever
VjmosesOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase7/22/2019I constantly felt sick and had various symptoms like heartburn, itching, bloating and knew something must have been up. I had cut out gluten prior to this test, and it sure did show that I was sensitive to that, along with a few other things I had no idea about. Since cutting those foods out, I have slowly started to feel better.
This test has helped tremendously
MooseMammaOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase9/13/2018This test was so helpful to me! I had a feeling many things in my diet were bothering me and hated the idea of doing a broad elimination diet. After receiving my results, I know exactly which foods to begin eliminating from my diet. Highly recommend! One thing to note though, if you have already removed some foods from your diet because you have a *real* allergy to them, this test will NOT detect those. For example, I'm very allergic to bananas so I don't eat them. In this type of test, it shows up as an item that I can eat because it didn't detect any kind of immune response to it (because it wasn't there at all). Just keep that in mind. Other than that, very informative test and I plan to use these results to fine tune my diet!
Easy to use test and very informative
HeatherOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase5/19/2022I have been tested for years using the end point titration method and was curious to see how this compared. The results were very similar, however this test gave me many more food results than what I have had in the past. I can now work on eliminating foods I was unaware.
Excellent!
CrystalOriginally posted oneverlywell.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/11/2018I've been having stomach issues lately and couldn't figure out what the food was causing the issue. I am highly allergic (anaphylactic- IgE) to all peanuts and nuts, but since I have never eaten these foods I wasn't sure if they would show up as a reaction for a IgG test. My one highly reactive food was walnuts and the two moderate reactive foods were coconut and cashew. I have never eaten walnuts or cashews, but coconut is a big part of my diet (coconut milk, yogurt, and water) . Coconut is not an allergy for me (it is not a nut despite the name), but now I know I may be sensitive to it. I am going to try eliminating it from my diet for a while to see if my stomach issues stop. Never would have thought it was the coconut. Also, I used my F...
No regrets
