I am writing this review for one reason only - the tests are misleading. I purchased this set to learn what foods I was sensitive to. What I didn't know was that it would only show results for foods that I ate regularly. I didn't know this until I received my results and written across the top of the document, highlighted in green, is that the test only takes note of foods you regularly eat. I searched the website for notes about this and found only one - buried in the FAQs. In the instructions it does 'recommend' that you eat the foods you are concerned about for 2-4 weeks before the test but that is only a recommendation. Furthermore, the website doesn't not let me write a review. Many other people noted this misleading problem but still gave the product a 4 or 5 so I am wondering if Everlywell only posts positive reviews. I reached out to Everlywell and received an email back pointing to me to the one mention buried in the FAQs. AND according to them, out of 260 foods, I only have a light sensitivity to almonds. Which I know is patently untrue. DON'T buy this and tell all your friends not to buy it. They are scam artists and should be ashamed of themselves.

I ordered the Food Sensitivity Comprehensive Test in December 2021. I read the entire website description and "Questions" section at the bottom of that page. I also read the prep emails, including the "Don't collect your sample before reading this!" email. Only AFTER I took the test and received the results did Everlywell state on the results page, with an (!): "This Food Sensitivity Test only detects foods that you have consumed recently." The website description states that 204 common foods are tested, but does not state that it only tests "regularly-eaten" foods, as was emailed to me today after I contacted Everlywell about this issue. I explained that had they been upfront about that, I would have prepared differently for the test. I asked for a refund or a replacement sent now that I know more than what is INCLUDED on their web page for this test. They refused and were actually quite condescending. Their advertisement and instructions are misleading and lacking in information. Additionally, the test results stated that I have a reaction to one food: bell peppers. I absolutely hate bell peppers and that is most certainly not a "regularly-eaten" food and most definitely not something in my diet over the prior month. I would not recommend this company and especially not that test to anyone.

I ordered Covid test on Monday and paid for expedited shipping. When nothing had happened by Wednesday I tried to email to cancel. After a day I was sent a request for info that was in the first email. I sent it again and didn’t hear anything until I checked the shipping status and it showed a UPS label was created on Friday. The status didn’t change until Sunday and on Monday it was delivered. Very shortly after delivery I got an email apologizing and telling me that the express charges would be refunded....shame on you for the deceptive practices and UNBELIEVABLY bad service. I would rate you lower if I could. Matt

Purchased a COVID test off their website and paid $30 extra for express delivery (1-3 days). They didn't ship the test until 4 days after the order date and now refuse to refund me for a test I wasn't even able to use as my flight was on the day it was shipped. Do not recommend, at all!

Complete scam. I really should have checked Trustpilot first. I was in the middle of a miserable month of ragweed allergies and my test came back as basically no allergies. The fact that they covered their terrible science legally by the following sentence: "If you are currently experiencing symptoms, keep in mind they may not be IgE mediated" just makes me a little more angry that I wasted A LOT of money. I hope there's a class action lawsuit I can join in the future.

The test doesn't give you anything that you can action. They just suggest and even clearly state that the results don't mean anything without further testing (elimination diets). I feel like I wasted a ton of money! You will probably get better results with a food journal. Oh, and this is NOT an allergy test. It'd be better titled a "possible sensitivity but we don't actually know" test.

Just a few weeks ago I purchased an Everly Well Food Sensitivity Test for my partner Pamela Ravenwood. I gave it to her and she took the test, sending in her blood samples. Online she received a list of foods she WAS sensitive to, and foods NOT sensitive to. My partner already knew she was incredibly allergic and sensitive to all nuts and seeds, but wanted to see if there were other foods to avoid. The results came in and were completely bogus. It said that my partner was not at all sensitive to nuts or seeds. Thinking the test was accurate and perhaps she no longer had a sensitivity to nuts, she ate just one bite of organic almond butter (essentially just crushed almonds, no other ingredients). Within minutes her face swelled up, her throat swelled, she had a rash across her face and neck and could not stop sneezing. For fear of her throat closing she drank liquid Benedryl right away. It took hours for the face swelling to go down, and the remaining side effects stayed with her for almost a week. She was sneezing uncontrollably, her face was swelled and should could only eat liquid food for 48 hours. The test is completely inaccurate. I contacted Everly Well as I was the buyer of the product and explained the situation. They have not provided a refund. I then had Pam email them with information about her nut allergy and they still would not provide a refund. I am submitting this claim to get a full refund of $103 from this company that provides inaccurate testing and almost sent my partner to the Emergency Room. I have attached copies of the test results showing that Almonds nor Peanuts were a sensitivity food. Not even at the MILD level.

After 3 weeks i still did not get my testkit. It’s a scam! Do not order from them!
