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

Snail intolerance involves difficulties in digesting snails, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a snail allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in snails, potentially causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, resulting in symptoms like bloating or diarrhea, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.

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

If you consistently experience digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or abdominal pain after consuming snails or dishes containing snails, it may be worth considering a test for snail intolerance. Persistent symptoms correlated with snail consumption suggest a need for further investigation. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine whether these symptoms are related to intolerance or another medical condition.

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

Managing snail intolerance involves avoiding snails and dishes containing snails in your diet. This may require careful attention to ingredient choices, especially in dishes like escargot, paella, or pasta where snails are commonly used. Finding alternative sources of protein and seafood that don’t trigger symptoms can help maintain a varied and enjoyable culinary experience. Consulting with a dietitian or nutritionist can provide guidance on suitable substitutes and ensure that your dietary choices are nutritionally sound and do not cause 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.
