Amaranth
Amaranth intolerance is a non-allergic adverse reaction to amaranth, a nutritious pseudocereal that is gluten-free and rich in vitamins and minerals. Unlike amaranth allergies, which involve an immune response to specific allergens, intolerance to amaranth typically relates to difficulties in digesting certain components of the grain....
Description
Amaranth intolerance and amaranth allergies are distinct conditions. Intolerance refers to digestive discomfort or adverse reactions to amaranth that are not immune-mediated. In contrast, allergies involve the immune system’s abnormal response to allergenic proteins in amaranth, resulting in allergic symptoms.
- Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea.
- Nausea and stomach cramps.
- Digestive issues that occur after consuming amaranth-based products.
Consider getting an amaranth intolerance test if you frequently experience the symptoms mentioned above after consuming amaranth or amaranth-containing foods. Testing can help confirm whether your discomfort is related to amaranth intolerance and provide guidance on dietary choices.
- Limit or avoid the consumption of amaranth and products containing amaranth.
- Explore alternative grains and pseudocereals that may be better tolerated, such as quinoa or rice.
- Check food labels for the presence of amaranth ingredients.
- Consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian for personalized advice on managing amaranth intolerance and maintaining a balanced diet.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
