My Food Intolerance Test Results Are Back! I Am Speechless!

Although services rendered were free; all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Hey Sassy Peeps,

Most of you guys know ALL about my food intolerance issues and struggle with breakouts. Trust me when I tell you that it is SO ANNOYING! And as we all are quickly learning, being a digital influencer is not easy. There are a lot of things that come along with this role. As soon as you assume this title, you instantly become a writer, location scout, photographer, videographer, tech expert and so much more. Yep, everything I mentioned is totally behind the scenes, but in most cases, you are also the model and spokesperson for your brand. So imagine having new breakouts 90% of the time when you are preparing for a photo shoot or when there is an event coming up! #Ugh!

The Struggle Is Real!

When people say the struggle is real…Honey I am here to tell you that IT REALLY IS!!!! I have been dealing with this since I was twelve and am totally over it! Yes, for the past year or so I have cut out several foods that trigger breakouts which includes dairy and soy, but I am still getting bumps and dry patches on my face and back.

So when the opportunity came about to actually get tested for food intolerances, I was all over it! Simply because I am ready to find out what is really going on with me internally.

I dropped my @yorktestlabs food intolerance test off at the post office about fours weeks ago and last week I received my results via email. I was so excited, however, after clicking on the link and seeing what the results were I started to cry. 🙁

Why you ask? Well keep reading…

Losing My Mind

OK…So here is what made me lose my mind for two days…

York Test Laboratories SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!?! 19 Reaction and borderline ingredients!!!!!!

Results

Woo. I am tearing up just writing this post! The good thing is that before receiving the results I had cut out a lot of the things listed above just based on trial and error. However, the few things that I was still consuming on a daily basis were eggs and almonds (two of my faves). Hence the tears!

After several prayers to the father above my attitude now is “at least I know and can move forward to clear my skin completely”! Amen! If I hadn’t heard those three words (“Now you know”) from him when I was going through it I might be in the corner in a fetal position. HA!
