Food Allergy Test Panel
Food allergies can be difficult to pinpoint, especially when symptoms vary or appear after everyday meals. Our Food Allergy Test Panel is designed to detect IgE-mediated reactions to a wide selection of common foods. This simple blood test offers fast, reliable answers to help you better understand your body’s response to what you eat.
Who Is This For?
This panel is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms such as itching, rashes, swelling, digestive issues or breathing difficulties after eating. It is also helpful for people with a family history of allergies or those managing multiple dietary concerns.

- How will I get my results?
A full report will be sent to you via your email. Or you can wait to discuss your results with our GP.

- Can I book a blood test for someone under 18?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer blood tests for patients under the age of 18.
- What happens if my test shows an allergy?
If your results indicate a potential allergy, we can offer follow-up advice or a private consultation to explore treatment options, avoidance strategies or referrals to relevant specialists if needed.
