Allergy Test UK
This Home Allergy Test covers 95% of the most common allergies in the UK, measuring reactions to 38 different items. Allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms, such as a runny nose or rash, to more severe responses. The test can be easily conducted at home using a simple finger-prick blood sample, which is then analyzed by professionals in an ISO-certified lab.
Understanding the Differences: Allergy, Food Intolerance, and Histamine Intolerance
Reactions are not always due to allergies; they can also be caused by food or histamine intolerances. Allergies trigger an immune response, while food intolerances result in gastrointestinal and other physical reactions, involving different antibodies. Histamine intolerance, which can resemble allergy symptoms, occurs due to a deficiency in the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), which is necessary for breaking down histamine in foods. If your symptoms align more closely with food intolerances, you might want to consider a combined Allergy & Food Intolerance Test.
