Dandelion
Dandelions, though often seen as a simple weed or a herbal remedy, can cause allergic reactions or intolerances in some individuals. This typically occurs due to the pollen they release or from direct contact with the plant. Understanding the potential for an allergic reaction to dandelions is important, especially during their peak blooming season....
Description
Dandelion intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process compounds in dandelion, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a dandelion allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in dandelion, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Dandelion intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Sneezing and nasal congestion
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Skin rash or hives upon contact
- Asthma symptoms, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing
- Throat irritation
Managing dandelion intolerance involves avoiding or limiting dandelion and products containing it in your diet. Since dandelion is sometimes used in salads, teas, and herbal remedies, it’s important to be cautious when reading food labels and choosing herbal products. Seek alternative herbs and ingredients that do not contain dandelion. Consulting with a dietitian can help ensure a balanced diet while avoiding dandelion. Keeping a food diary can be beneficial in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking dietary adjustments.

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.
