Long waiting times to see GPs and more public confidence in home testing kits have contributed to an increase in sales at an East Midlands supplier.
Test Your Intolerance, which is based in Castle Donington on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire border, supplies a range of allergy, intolerance and health tests.
Some of the kits need customers to send off finger-prick blood samples to find out if they have allergies or food intolerances so they can amend their diets or makes changes to their lifestyle. Other kits, including some blood tests and urine tests, can get results pretty much straight away.
