Duck
Duck intolerance is a condition where individuals have difficulty digesting duck meat, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This intolerance is distinct from a duck allergy, which involves an immune system response and can cause more severe reactions. Duck intolerance typically results in digestive symptoms following the consumption of duck....
Description
Duck intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process duck meat, resulting in discomfort and a range of symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a duck allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in duck meat, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Duck intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Stomach cramps or discomfort
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Headaches
If you consistently experience digestive issues such as bloating, stomach cramps, or diarrhea after eating duck, it may be wise to consider a test for duck intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms frequently disrupt your daily life or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health concerns.
Managing duck intolerance involves avoiding or limiting duck in your diet. Since duck is a common ingredient in various cuisines, it’s important to read food labels and menus carefully. Seek alternative protein sources like poultry, fish, or plant-based proteins that do not cause discomfort. Consulting a dietitian can be beneficial for ensuring a balanced diet while avoiding duck. Additionally, keeping a food diary can help in identifying other potential food intolerances and in monitoring your 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.
