Why Allergy Testing Matters

Helpful Results for a Healthier Life

Allergic reactions can significantly affect your range of health. Symptoms like itching, sneezing, swelling, diarrhoea, or vomiting can happen at any stage in life and often stem from hidden triggers. Ongoing exposure to allergens may even interfere with growth and development, especially in children.

Understanding the cause through professional allergy testing can help you reduce symptoms and take control of your health. Identifying allergens means you can avoid them, reduce risks, and make choices that contribute to a better quality of life.

Take Control of Your Health and Well-being

Our food intolerance testing is designed to assess your body’s reactions to a wide range of potential triggers. These include types of food, pollens, pet dander, mould, and more. With this information, you can:

  • Avoid allergens that cause discomfort or harm.

  • Reduce the frequency and severity of allergy symptoms.

  • Improve your gut health and general well-being
  • Enhance your overall health and well-being by making informed choices.

Know More About Your Reactions

Once you receive your results, you can take the next steps to improve your lifestyle. Our clear and precise results will tell you which allergens you need to avoid, enabling you to make adjustments that improve your everyday life. Armed with this knowledge, you can:

    • Tailor your diet to eliminate foods that cause adverse reactions, potentially incorporating an elimination diet to pinpoint triggers.

    • Modify your living or working environment to minimise exposure to environmental allergens.

    • Seek professional medical advice to develop a long-term management plan for your allergies.

What is Tested For:

Our comprehensive test is split into two key categories, food groups and environmental allergens.

Foods:

  • Egg White: A common allergen found in many diets, especially in baked goods and processed foods.

  • Milk: Includes reactions to dairy products, a frequent trigger for both children and adults.

  • Cod and Salmon: Essential proteins that can cause significant reactions in some individuals.

  • Crab and Shrimp: Popular seafood allergens.

  • Meat Mix (Pork, Beef, Chicken, Lamb): Helps identify sensitivities to various types of meat.

  • Wheat and Rice: Staple grains that are key triggers for some individuals.

  • Soy and Potato: Commonly used in processed foods and a potential cause of allergic reactions.

  • Peanut, Hazelnut, and Almond: Nut allergies are among the most severe and require immediate identification.

  • Tomato, Carrot, Orange, Strawberry, Apple, and Peach: Common fruits and vegetables that may cause unexpected reactions.

Environmental Factors:

  • Birch, Hazelnut Pollen, Olive, Cypress, and Ash (European): Tree pollens that can trigger seasonal allergies.

  • Timothy Grass, Rye, Bermuda Grass, and Bahia Grass: Grass pollens known to cause hay fever and other respiratory issues.

  • Common Ragweed, Mugwort, and English Plantain: Weed pollens that can lead to severe allergic reactions.

  • Cat, Horse, and Dog Dander: Allergens from pets that may affect indoor air quality.

  • House Dust Mites (D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae): A major indoor allergen contributing to asthma and eczema.

  • Cockroach: An often-overlooked allergen in urban environments.

  • Cladosporium Herbarum: A common mold that thrives in damp areas and can cause respiratory issues.

Benefits of Testing

Taking a food and environmental allergy test offers numerous advantages. These include:

  • Clarity and Confidence: Knowing what causes your symptoms removes the uncertainty and frustration of unexplained reactions.

  • Improved Health Outcomes: Avoiding allergens can significantly reduce symptoms, improve energy levels, and enhance overall well-being.

Additional Considerations

While our tests provide invaluable insights, it’s essential to remember that they are not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you suspect you have severe allergies or experience ongoing symptoms, consult a healthcare professional without delay. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking treatment based on test results alone.

For individuals considering lifestyle adjustments, including elimination diets, your test results can serve as a helpful starting point. However, it’s important to implement dietary changes under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure balanced nutrition and safety.
