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

Litchi intolerance refers to a digestive issue where the body struggles to process litchis, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This contrasts with a litchi allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in the fruit, potentially causing more serious reactions like hives, breathing difficulties, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance is generally limited to digestive problems, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.

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

If you regularly experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, gas, or abdominal pain after eating litchis, it may be worth considering a test for litchi intolerance. Persistent symptoms that correlate with litchi consumption are key indicators. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine if these symptoms are due to intolerance or another underlying issue.

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

Managing litchi intolerance primarily involves avoiding litchis in your diet. Reading food labels is essential, as litchis can be included in fruit salads, desserts, and beverages. Finding alternative fruits that don’t cause symptoms is important for maintaining a varied and nutritious diet. For those who find dietary changes challenging, seeking advice from a dietitian or nutritionist can be beneficial to ensure a balanced diet while avoiding discomfort.

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.
