What is lettuce intolerance and how does it differ from lettuce allergy?

Lettuce intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, causing discomfort after eating lettuce without involving the immune system. On the other hand, a lettuce allergy triggers an immune response, which can cause more severe symptoms, such as hives or respiratory issues.

What are the common symptoms of lettuce intolerance?
  • Stomach pain
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
When should I consider testing for lettuce intolerance?

Consider testing for lettuce intolerance if you consistently experience digestive discomfort after eating lettuce, especially if these symptoms disrupt your daily life or don’t improve with other dietary changes

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

Managing lettuce intolerance involves avoiding lettuce in your diet and being mindful of its presence in mixed dishes and salads. For some, cooking lettuce may reduce intolerance symptoms.

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.
