this test saved my life, i was in constant chronic stomach pain with diarrhea and gas for 3-4 years and once I took this I found out I had a reaction to so many foods and once I started only eating foods that popped up in the green for me i cant even tell you how amazing I feel
I think Taco Bell is in kahoots with big toilet paper... I'm glad this test told you to stop going to Taco Bell. And I'm sure it saved you big on toilet paper.
You're missing the point that some of us are turning to this test because we've exhausted so many other options to treat our symptoms. For conditions such as psoriatic arthritis, doctors are quick to prescribe expensive, immuno-supressing drugs before having a conversation about determining what might be the cause of symptoms. Modern medicine is a miracle, but healthcare that is only aimed at treating symptoms rather than the cause, has a backwards approach.
The thing is and they state, most foods don’t show immediate reaction to food sensitivity, which is why most people can’t tell which foods they’re sensitive to. Allergies are different, you usually get an immediate reaction unlike sensitivity. This works, I actually get horrible migraines since I was 6, which led me to do a food elimination to see which foods caused my migraines, took years to narrow it down to exact foods, finally I took this test to do some comparison and low and behold the test was on point on my high food sensitivity.
Low grade inflammation which you get from a food sensitivity is very difficult to notice. It could feel like random symptoms, such as your headaches, or bloating in your stomach because of leaky gut, which are not immediately noticeable. Consuming foods on an ongoing basis that you have an intolerance to well usually lead to some type of auto immune disease over time. This is highly documented and a well known fact in the naturopathic and functional medicine communities.
That is so true I think people with IBS would benefit from this test which includes us. We all have some food sensitivities to some extent it's just that they may have other foods included in their diet to help digest these foods, hence they dont notice any difference in a controlled studies. You also have to take your microbiome into consideration as well. The digestive system is more complex than people bring it out to be. It's not pseudoscience. I believe I know what I am talking about and been working with a Gastrologist for a few years now.
@@eddierobles2137 Honestly I am not sure. You would have to work with a Gastrologist on that one. This is major, it can affect your mood your likely hood to become overweight and energy levels. I got treated with leaky gut syndrome which was probably not my diagnosis. It made my IBS worse for nearly 18 months! I went on xifaxan which clears your microbiome and then after the 2 week treatment you have to add the bacteria back by taking the right probiotics. It took forever for my body to grow back its microbiome. I couldn't eat anything and had to do a low fodmap diet. If I ate anything that had any level difficulty to digest normally I could not consume it with out experiencing really bad stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea for hours. It was hell. I could not eat simple shit you would think had no effect on your gut like watermelon. WTF. No spices, no onions, no cucificious veggies like kale, broccoli, no beans, no dairy, no lunch meats, no gluten. There is more but its practically almost everything an average American eats. I am Mexican and I could not have Mexican food without dealing with the pain later on. Its definitely a journey
Getting tested for good sensitivity was a God send! I eliminated those foods and my KP disappeared, dark under eye circles disappeared and my crooked index fingernails straightened out. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you!
From what I've read and watched about these tests, they do seen to show mainly food you eat often and recently that are in your system. The validity of these are up to interpretation but I would definitely take the results with a grain of salt. My only concern with this review is that she immediately writes off every food that was marked as high to moderate sensitivity because she said she never noticed anything wrong eating those foods. But isn't that the point of the test, to reveal to you the sensitivities you didn't know. I don't expect her to have already known which foods she was sensitive to. Seems like for the sake of the video at least it is worth eliminating a few of the high and moderate sensitivity foods from her diet, maybe for a few days to a week, then seeing if she feels any different after a period of time instead of writing off everything immediately as if she knows how her body reacts to everything she ingests. In the end she may be right but what a waste of a test to not even go through with the elimination process.
Exactly my comment, "Oh I eat yogurt all the time and don't notice anything so I'm not sensitive to it" logic kinda threw me off. Then I'm suppose to believe what she said cause she did some google searching and tried to sound smart
You are so right. With food sensitivities you don't feel anything. It's not the same as food intolerance or food allergies! That's why you do the test. I am actually sensitive to the foods that I eat more often and like the most like dairy products, eggs, olive oil, lime, garlic, celery, baker's yeast and a bunch of other things. However, I don't feel anything wrong after I eat them. That's why I wanted to do the test
Great review & I appreciate your time. I will say, it would have been super helpful if you at least tried eliminating eggs to see if your body reacted in any way or at all. Basically putting the results to the test...
THANK YOU for sharing your opinion. I was scared of wasting my money on it. I struggled with eating disorders in many years so I don’t need to re-create unhealthy mindsets around foods
The test is really useful and has quite a few testimonials of people that have noticed major benefits when they eliminated the foods that came up as moderate/high on their results.
I suffer from IBS since puberty so this test is a must for me. Remember the sensitivities you may have you can still consume these foods but in moderation or very little. It must be legit because my health coverage covered the cost of the test. I believe this should not replace actual diseases like celiac disease, UT or Crohn's disease which I have already been tested for. This would be the next step after those possibilities have been eliminated. There also maybe some other factors in your diet that help you digest these food sensitivities. For people like me with IBS diagnosis this would be ideal.
I almost decided against the test too because of this video but then I read the incredible amount of testimonies of it working for them in the comments section. I’m ordering one right now.. lol
@@Sasanek1 that's not exactly true. Cutting chocolate out and replacing it with something like spinach, tofu, rice cakes, etc is gonna result in less fat.
That's awesome! Hopefully it helps me gain weight..I have IBS so I can only eat certain foods. I can't naturally process all the nutrients of certain foods (high FODMAP). I went on the low fodmap plan for a few weeks and gained 7 lbs after being underweight for months.
I did a small presentation on this test for a school mini project and got intrigued by it since I have stomachaches so often since before I can remember. I've been considering buy a sensitivity test for a while now but wanna make sure I get my money worth 😅
I've seen Everly ads and been skeptical. Your video confirms my skepticism. You did a great job in examining this product. You should email the video to the company.
I'm skeptical too! Many of the foods that were inflammatory to me were foods I had been eating in high consumption! Please help! I am so confused after this Everlywell test!
This is interesting , almost all of your moderate food sensitivity was food you eat every day. It’s almost like the test is showing you what is remaining in you blood after you eat and not a sensitivity
I eat everything and don’t notice a daily reaction, however, I had an EGD that showed eosinophils lining my esophagus. This occurrence is abnormal and is caused by food allergies. I have yet to do my F/U and discuss the biopsy results and doing an elimination diet.
I have 17 food allergies. I too have high eosinophils but doc ignores it. I'm currently doing a parasite cleanse. Wondering also if it could of been mold exposure??
I been suffering from itchy hives for years so I’m going to check this out. My allergist says I’m not allergic to anything but something is causing this since my blood work and all came back good
I'm only doing this because of my digestive issues just to have somewhere to start when seeing my doctor. I got the celiac test too and I really, really, hope that comes back negative because I love breads and stuff with gluten in them lol.
It doesn't test intolerances, and clearly states that. It's only for sensitivities. And you didn't even try taking any of them from your diet. How can you review something you didn't really test? This is effectively an unboxing and first impressions video.
The company/platform you are currently using to watch this video stores and collects data about you that you didn't even know existed. And you are using their platform for free. You will be fine with a small blood test.
The question is, does such a test provide an expert any useful data to an expert in order to help identify where to focus to discover a food sensitivity? From what I read the test has a 95% success rate of identifying foods that one does not have an intolerance to howver only a 50% success at identifying an intolerance. 50% means it doesn't identify an intolerance at all. Howver if the test is conducted and then brought to a dietician, could it along with a food diary help the dieticians focus on foods to test?
I just got my results. Level one to eggs/ milk/ lamb¿/ pineapple¿/bakers yeast/ brewers yeast and a few other things. How do we survive w out some of this?
@@Nourishable OK great lookin forward to your response. I am seeing a local Dietitian this week and they are trying to sell me the test. You can learn more by typing anti-C3d + igg food sensitivity The relevance of using the C3d/immunoglobulin
I don’t think this test is reliable. It said I was mildly sensitive to peanuts when I’m severely allergic to them (went into anaphylactic shock a few months ago from a mild cross contamination).
I also eat lots of eggs (about 2 a day on average). My test showed that I have 36 above average reactivities, and 1 of them being a high reactivity food. This food was egg whites for me also! And I also don't seem to notice anything in association with when im eating lots of eggs. Mine also say moderate reactivity to egg yolk.
I have 17. Highest was egg whites and egg yolk. I have since eliminated as well as avoiding the other 15 as much as possible. I never noticed any symptoms from those foods... since eliminating the 17 I do notice less hip pain. My mom had rheumatoid arthritis and I'm sure it was due to food allergies.
I am skeptical to buy this test as I struggle with an auto immune issue. So many different approaches to foods to eat and not eat makes it very confusing.
You could follow the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. Avoid, dairy, gluten, eggs, soy. Can't recall the other stuff. I did the food test and I have 17. I'm allergic to tomatoes, cranberry, black pepper, kale, eggs, wheat, cod, goats milk, cow milk to name a few...
Nobody would ever cut out all of these results anyway. A logical person would only eliminate the high reactivity foods, which in your case, is just one food item. So your assessment of this test might be a bit off. However, I get terrible GERD within 10-15 minutes after ingesting fruit. To the point where I stay away from fruit altogether. I’m taking this to see if i have a high reactivity not necessarily to fruit, but another food group whereas if I eliminate it, could it also help with the GERD I experience when ingesting fruit. So there’s way more to this test than, “here’s your high reactivity so you must have a bad reaction when eating it so stop eating it.”
I was obese or morbidly obese from puberty until my early 50s when I lost 170ish-lbs over a decade, but I went from 250 to 150 in my early 50s. I had PCOS. I believe you dont have it after menopause. Anyway. Im, weightwise, as low as the doctors want me to go, but I've got a HUGE upper abdomen! I wear size 4 jeans and an extra large top. I am I 36DDD, but you can't hardly tell because of this huge ring of fat just below my breasts! I finally am somewhat thin, but still have to dress how I was at 300lbs! My upper abdomen is 4 inches bigger than my hips!!!! My thighs are 15" at the widest part! I'm the incredible upside down triangle!! Could food sensitivities be the culprit? I know, being so insulin resistant for decades caused my body to redistribute the fat, but!! A tiny bit more. I've got end-stage Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Sjogrens Syndrome, and raynaulds phenomenon. The Ankylosing Spondylitis is my primary disease. I was misdiagnosed for almost 30 years. I've fused from T12-C1 and my head is fused in a prayer like position. I've also fused in both SI joints. Which is expected, since that's typically where AS shows its first symptoms. Thanks in advance for anyone who may be able to give me more info.
@@suz0000 what did you find out? It seems like this vids science doesn’t line up with all the testimonies. I’m more prone to trust testimonies over a well-crafted argument. Science once thought the earth was flat, after all.
Moderately reactive to pineapple. I love pineapple, but don’t eat it often. Never noticed a problem though. Low reactivity results to about 5 other foods. Confirmed my cows milk issue. Surprised at a couple veggies that I consume occasionally. Chuckled to see sunflower seed, as I have a strong aversion to the looks of the actual plant, haha. They give me the creeps! And then there was wheat. 🤷♀️ I’m on the fence with my opinion about the test. I was hoping to learn something surprising that would help with some stomach issues, but kinda doubt any of these has been the cause.
@@jeffwalker5514 it said I have an extreme sensitivity to egg whites and eggs, but I’ve been eating those my whole life and they don’t affect me at all so idk why it would say that.
Consider the following simple example: Two people have negligible IgG to egg whites. They both eat one egg. Now one of them has IgG of 30, and the other has an IgG of 90. Now ask the question of where the IgG came from. Why does one people now have more? Now lets just talk physics and chemistry. One person has an extra 60 IgG. Some amount of work, thus energy, had to be expended to make this happen. Meaning, one person used more energy given the same exact food. I also assume that your body does have an upper limit on how much IgG it can make at a time. If there is not enough to go around, then maybe your body struggles with the remainder.
It's been nearly 2 weeks since I sent it back!!! There is no email contact for the company and the chat feature isn't working. HOrrible customer service!! Never again.
@@shari_lynn7454 a month later. And I can say it was a waste of money. Not accurate at all. I have specific allergies/sensitivites to certain foods and they did not show up on the test.
So basically you’re bringing into question the validity of these tests since you note that many of your sensitivity man be misleading based on your current diet
Don't waste your money. I know for a fact that Tomatoes and Potatoes make me very sick. Showed up on my report under the "Normal" ?? Egg showed up as moderate. I have no problem with eggs. LIke I said. Don't waste your $$.
I have come to a conclusion after watching many of these food sensitivity and various dieting videos. KISS Keep It Simple Stupid A single theme/diet that I have seen in most success stories I would categorize it as "The Boring Diet". We are taught that to be normal we must eat a variety of foods and not be picky eaters. While it seems that limiting the variety of foods and being consistent is what helps people the most. If you are truly suffering, switch to a very simple meal plan. Eat the same exact thing everyday. I am talking like boiled ground beef and white rice. A little salt if you need seasoning. The idea that you need to 100 different kinds of food in a week sounds like it falls the "jack of all trades master of none" for your body.
Those test are Non FDA approved and are LDT(laboratory Development Tests) just because a lab is CLIA certified doesn't mean all the the test are accurate. That's why these results have a disclaimer in the bottom the truth is rich people are so dumb and would buy stupid shit online😂. Ask Everly Well how those lab challenge themselves with Proficiency Testing...O wait there isn't Proficiency for that so what they do is an internal PT. Which doesn't challenge themselves. Been a Medical Technologist for 18yrs... Also was a Professor in Clinical Laboratory Science
Thanks, however, 5 years ago I rescued a white American Pit Bull terrier. She scratched for 80% of her waking hours. She had demodex when I got her, but we cleared that up and she still scratched and scratched and scratched unless she was on prednisone. Prednisone can cause you animal to be diabetic and it can take one dose! I took her to 5 vets and all suggested she probably had a flea allergy. Make sure she's on preventative. She was! A whopping $60 pill! I treated my yard and fleas are easy to find on a white dog! She had none! I found an online dna test for food sensitivities. It was $150 back then and the best $150 I'd ever spent! The vet suggested I withdraw her from stuff one at a time to figure it out. Well, she's allergic/sensitive to everything from plastic to red potatoes! Worst or all this included all proteins other than beef and fish. Once I kept her from being exposed to "the list " as well as I could, (grass, weeds, mold, are all but impossible), she became a new dog! Stopped scratching, gained 7lbs, and her coat became, thick, lush, and shiney! Now she's 6 and she's scratching again. I know she's become sensitive to something else, but what?
This was good information.The advertisements only marketing to white women always weirded me out also. Like shouldn’t this also work on men and non-white stomachs? I’ll send my blood elsewhere.
@@ScottElblein "Ya'll" didn't say they were racist or sexist, but if you say so.... From a marketing perspective, it seems remiss to limit your advertisements to one demographic if can actually work for multiple ones. White women aren't the only humans with stomachs, so why were there only countless ads with no men or non European ancestry women? Either way, the tests are not great, so it's not my problem.

@@suz0000 what did you find out? It seems like this vids science doesn’t line up with all the testimonies. I’m more prone to trust testimonies over a well-crafted argument. Science once thought the earth was flat, after all.
Moderately reactive to pineapple. I love pineapple, but don’t eat it often. Never noticed a problem though. Low reactivity results to about 5 other foods. Confirmed my cows milk issue. Surprised at a couple veggies that I consume occasionally. Chuckled to see sunflower seed, as I have a strong aversion to the looks of the actual plant, haha. They give me the creeps! And then there was wheat. 🤷♀️ I’m on the fence with my opinion about the test. I was hoping to learn something surprising that would help with some stomach issues, but kinda doubt any of these has been the cause.
@@jeffwalker5514 it said I have an extreme sensitivity to egg whites and eggs, but I’ve been eating those my whole life and they don’t affect me at all so idk why it would say that.
@@simonmalm7432 try not eating them for 2 weeks and eat it again on 3rd week and see if there is any difference... pls post results of this experiment
Consider the following simple example:
Two people have negligible IgG to egg whites.
They both eat one egg.
Now one of them has IgG of 30, and the other has an IgG of 90.
Now ask the question of where the IgG came from. Why does one people now have more?
Now lets just talk physics and chemistry. One person has an extra 60 IgG. Some amount of work, thus energy, had to be expended to make this happen. Meaning, one person used more energy given the same exact food.
I also assume that your body does have an upper limit on how much IgG it can make at a time. If there is not enough to go around, then maybe your body struggles with the remainder.
I can’t drink pasteurized cows milk but I can drink raw cows milk???
_AT HOME_ BLOOD TEST? Oh good...I’m glad it’s just a bit of blood and no needle needed lol!
I don't notice a sensitivity so I must not have a sensitive logic lmao
Why did you skip peanut. It wasn't high?
Absolutely. That’s why this is a fake review.
It's been nearly 2 weeks since I sent it back!!! There is no email contact for the company and the chat feature isn't working. HOrrible customer service!! Never again.
Did you ever get your results?
@@shari_lynn7454 a month later. And I can say it was a waste of money. Not accurate at all. I have specific allergies/sensitivites to certain foods and they did not show up on the test.
So basically you’re bringing into question the validity of these tests since you note that many of your sensitivity man be misleading based on your current diet
Don't waste your money. I know for a fact that Tomatoes and Potatoes make me very sick. Showed up on my report under the "Normal" ?? Egg showed up as moderate. I have no problem with eggs. LIke I said. Don't waste your $$.
I have come to a conclusion after watching many of these food sensitivity and various dieting videos.
KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid
A single theme/diet that I have seen in most success stories I would categorize it as "The Boring Diet".
We are taught that to be normal we must eat a variety of foods and not be picky eaters. While it seems that limiting the variety of foods and being consistent is what helps people the most.
If you are truly suffering, switch to a very simple meal plan. Eat the same exact thing everyday. I am talking like boiled ground beef and white rice. A little salt if you need seasoning.
The idea that you need to 100 different kinds of food in a week sounds like it falls the "jack of all trades master of none" for your body.
The background music is unnecessary and too loud, but cool info
You're not allergic to pesticides. I eat pesticides everyday.
Those test are Non FDA approved and are LDT(laboratory Development Tests) just because a lab is CLIA certified doesn't mean all the the test are accurate. That's why these results have a disclaimer in the bottom the truth is rich people are so dumb and would buy stupid shit online😂. Ask Everly Well how those lab challenge themselves with Proficiency Testing...O wait there isn't Proficiency for that so what they do is an internal PT. Which doesn't challenge themselves. Been a Medical Technologist for 18yrs... Also was a Professor in Clinical Laboratory Science
Thanks, however, 5 years ago I rescued a white American Pit Bull terrier. She scratched for 80% of her waking hours. She had demodex when I got her, but we cleared that up and she still scratched and scratched and scratched unless she was on prednisone. Prednisone can cause you animal to be diabetic and it can take one dose! I took her to 5 vets and all suggested she probably had a flea allergy. Make sure she's on preventative. She was! A whopping $60 pill! I treated my yard and fleas are easy to find on a white dog! She had none! I found an online dna test for food sensitivities. It was $150 back then and the best $150 I'd ever spent! The vet suggested I withdraw her from stuff one at a time to figure it out. Well, she's allergic/sensitive to everything from plastic to red potatoes! Worst or all this included all proteins other than beef and fish. Once I kept her from being exposed to "the list " as well as I could, (grass, weeds, mold, are all but impossible), she became a new dog! Stopped scratching, gained 7lbs, and her coat became, thick, lush, and shiney! Now she's 6 and she's scratching again. I know she's become sensitive to something else, but what?
hi, how am i going to send the blood? do they have address ?
You order the test and give the blood sample and send it in to the address they gave you...
I wish it could diagnose food allergies.
You can go to the doctor to do that.
Filmed in Feb 2012 or 2020?
Feb 2020
I feel like those aren't very accurate
I mean the test
annoying music
Was the disturbing, awkward dances really necessary?
No and I wish I could wash my eyes after seeing that
This was good information.The advertisements only marketing to white women always weirded me out also. Like shouldn’t this also work on men and non-white stomachs? I’ll send my blood elsewhere.
Y'all will look for racism in literally everything. 🙄
@@ScottElblein "Ya'll" didn't say they were racist or sexist, but if you say so.... From a marketing perspective, it seems remiss to limit your advertisements to one demographic if can actually work for multiple ones. White women aren't the only humans with stomachs, so why were there only countless ads with no men or non European ancestry women? Either way, the tests are not great, so it's not my problem.
Well obviously the marketing could be more diverse, but the color of skin does not change your stomach. A stomach is a stomach as a heart is a heart.
