Food Allergy Panel (33 Allergies)
Our Food Allergy Panel (33 Allergies) is a comprehensive blood test for people who experience digestive discomfort, skin reactions, swelling, itching, or suspected food-related symptoms.
This assessment checks for IgE-mediated food allergies, which can cause fast or delayed immune reactions. The test helps you understand your food triggers so you can make clear, safe dietary decisions.

IgE Allergy vs Food Intolerance
This test checks IgE-mediated allergies, not intolerances.
- IgE allergies involve the immune system and can cause fast or delayed reactions.
- Intolerances do not involve IgE and usually cause bloating, discomfort or fatigue. They require different tests.

- You will receive a clear report showing each allergen and your IgE levels.
- Our clinicians can explain the findings and guide your next steps.

FAQs
No. You can eat and drink as normal before your appointment.
No. Antihistamines do not change IgE allergy blood test levels, so you may continue taking them unless your clinician advises otherwise.
Yes, children can take this test. Some younger children may need extra support during the blood draw.
No. This test checks IgE allergies only. Food intolerances require different types of tests.
Most results are ready within 2–3 working days.
A food allergy involves the immune system and can cause fast or serious reactions. A food intolerance does not involve IgE and usually causes slower digestive symptoms.
Yes. Adults can develop new allergies at any age, even if they had no issues as children.
Yes. Some IgE reactions appear hours later, especially eczema flares or digestive issues.
IgE levels show sensitisation, not severity. A high result does not always mean a severe reaction. Your clinician will interpret this safely.
Yes. IgE allergy testing is safe during pregnancy.
Most medications do not affect IgE results. If you are unsure, ask your clinician.
Yes. For some people, ongoing immune reactions can cause tiredness or difficulty concentrating.
Immediate reactions often last minutes to hours. Skin flares or digestive symptoms can take longer to settle.
Not always. Some allergies persist, while others improve over time. Your clinician can review your results and guide any reintroduction plan.
Seek medical help immediately. Severe symptoms need urgent care and should not be ignored.
Yes, stress can increase inflammatory responses and make symptoms feel stronger.
Yes. Some foods share similar proteins, which can cause related reactions (e.g., peanut and soya, pollen and fruit).
Your report will show sensitisation levels. Your clinician will explain which foods truly need avoidance.
No. Coeliac disease requires a different blood test for gluten antibodies.
Most people repeat testing every 1–2 years, or sooner if symptoms change.
