Everything about the experience was straightforward and easy to complete. The results were very well described. I am looking at additional tests right now

Don’t use this for anything where you need results quickly. They use USPS for shipping so it took almost two weeks from the time I dropped my test in the mail (8am on a Monday) til the time I got my results (Friday of the following week). Otherwise the process is simple, easy and accurate.

Spent $150 to take a test that defies reality. Either what they tested for are simply not in my area, or the test was completely botched.

The Women’s Test helped me understand why I have some of the symptoms I do. I am thankful I was able to do this test.

After over a week of shipping I was informed that my sample was lost. Then I received a message the next day saying my results were ready. I know I have a severe reaction when eating bread and gluten along with dairy products. My doctor suggested I try the Everlywell food sensitivity test and I was hesitant to spend $200 on my limited income. My results came back with a mild reaction to lobster, which I have never had an issue with. I’m not sure if I trust these lab results and feel I have wasted my money.

We ordered two tests. One never made it to their lab and the results of the other was delayed due to "technical difficulties". They refused to refund the test that was lost in transit, only giving us a credit.

I was extremely disappointed in the results. The results said I did not have any issues with the foods tested - I cannot believe this is true, I have several issues with the foods I eat. I get gassy, heartburn, and diarrhea - and apparently this has nothing to do with what I eat...hmmm

I let my hope get in the way because I truly didn't believe that this test was worth the money or the trouble of pricking my fingers. First, I wasn't aware that sensitivities would only show up if that specific food had been in your system recently. I would think that given a blood sample was taken the results would be able to span a bit further. I know that this could be seen as a good thing for some people but out of the 204 foods tested I only showed "abnormal" for 22 which immediately seemed inaccurate. Then on the other hand there were foods that I already knew I had sensitivities or intolerances for that showed up as normal. I had already noted that I had celiac disease yet gluten and wheat showed up as mild sensitivities and then barley, malt, and rye were either also mild or in the normal range. I feel as though this test is tough to trust or take seriously when things like this pop-up. One other area that needs help is the explanation or description of each food and the specific category they may fall into. For example, it was shown that I had a moderate sensitivity to cow's milk, which I had suspected given recent encounters and the fact I had noted lactose intolerance. The explanation was just that only the protein was tested and not the actual lactose (sugar). They continued by suggesting to cut it out and do the elimination but no real explanation. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this test and was wishing for a more complete report or at least a bit more guidance.
