Green Peas
Green peas intolerance is a condition characterized by the body's difficulty in digesting green peas, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This intolerance is distinct from a green peas allergy, which involves an immune system response and can cause more severe symptoms. People with green peas intolerance typically experience digestive symptoms following the consumption of green peas....
Description
Green peas intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process green peas, resulting in discomfort and a range of symptoms. This condition is a non-immune response, unlike a green peas allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in green peas, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Green peas intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Headaches
If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after eating green peas, it might be advisable to consider a test for green peas intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could indicate other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
Managing green peas intolerance primarily involves avoiding or limiting green peas in your diet. Carefully reading food labels and menus is important, as green peas are often used in soups, stews, and as a side dish. Explore alternative vegetables that do not cause discomfort. For nutrients typically found in green peas, like protein, fiber, and vitamins, incorporate other sources into your diet. Consulting with a dietitian can provide guidance on maintaining a balanced diet while avoiding green peas. Keeping a food diary can also be useful in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking 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.
