Chicken
Chicken intolerance is a condition where the body struggles to digest chicken, leading to digestive discomfort. This intolerance is different from a chicken allergy, which involves an immune response and can cause more severe and immediate reactions. People with chicken intolerance often experience gastrointestinal symptoms after eating chicken....
Description
Chicken intolerance is related to the digestive system’s inability to properly process chicken, resulting in various discomforting symptoms. This condition is a non-immune response, in contrast to a chicken allergy, which is an immune system reaction to proteins in chicken. Allergic reactions to chicken can include severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Chicken intolerance, on the other hand, typically leads to milder, digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve an immune response.
- Bloating and gas
- Stomach cramps or discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Headaches
Consider a chicken intolerance test if you regularly experience digestive issues such as bloating, stomach cramps, or diarrhea after consuming chicken. It’s important to get tested if these symptoms frequently disrupt your daily life or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as this could be a sign of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
Managing chicken intolerance involves avoiding or limiting chicken in your diet. Since chicken is a common ingredient in many dishes, it’s important to read food labels and menus carefully. Seek alternative protein sources like fish, tofu, beans, or lentils to replace chicken in your meals. Consulting a dietitian can help ensure you’re getting a balanced diet while avoiding chicken. Additionally, keeping a food diary can be beneficial for identifying any other foods that may cause symptoms and for tracking your dietary changes.

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.
