What is kelp intolerance and how does it differ from kelp allergies?

Kelp intolerance involves digestive difficulties in processing kelp, resulting in gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a kelp allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in kelp, potentially leading to more serious, systemic reactions. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, while allergies can have broader, sometimes life-threatening, effects.

What are the common symptoms of kelp intolerance?
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
When should I consider getting a kelp intolerance test?

If you consistently experience digestive issues after eating kelp or kelp-containing products, it may be worthwhile to consider a kelp intolerance test. Persistent symptoms that correlate with kelp consumption are key indicators. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help in determining whether these symptoms are related to kelp intolerance or another medical condition.

How can I manage and cope with kelp intolerance in my daily life?

Managing kelp intolerance primarily involves dietary modifications to avoid consuming kelp. Careful reading of food labels is important, as kelp can be present in various products, especially in Asian cuisine and certain health foods. Replacing kelp with other seaweeds or greens that don’t cause symptoms can help maintain nutritional balance. Consulting with a nutritionist or dietitian can aid in finding suitable dietary alternatives and ensuring a well-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.
