Description
Food allergies and intolerances are becoming increasingly more common. This test covers both selected food allergies (IgE) & food intolerances (IgG).
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances in the environment that are harmless for most people, such as house dust mites, pet dander, pollen, insect bites and stings, moulds and foods. An intolerance is considered a ‘chemical’ reaction to a substance, which is often delayed and milder, and does not show up on a traditional allergy test.
The possible manifestations of a food reaction are widespread and also non-specific. Intolerances have been linked to gastrointestinal symptoms, skin complaints, respiratory issues, fatigue, headache, migraine, cognitive deficits, neurodevelopment disorders, anxiety, depression, joint pain, muscle pain, and endocrine disturbances.
Symptoms of a food allergies or intolerance are varied and can be localised and/or systemic and can include itching, burning and swelling around the mouth, swelling of face or eyes, runny nose, skin rash, hives, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, breathing difficulties, vomiting and nausea.
