Combined Allergy and Intolerance Blood Test

Not all allergies are severe, and many people experience allergic reactions without knowing. These allergic responses can often be mild with the patient ignoring them, or believing they are experiencing these symptoms because they are simply run down. By taking a simple to use home test, you can find out all of your intolerances and allergies. Once identified, simply removing these allergens from your daily interactions can greatly improve your well being and energy levels throughout the day.

Traditional forms of allergy testing include elimination diets and skin prick testing. These methods are both time consuming, dated and can be ineffective if the patient has more than one allergy. That's why our team of doctors and lab experts created the all in one home allergy test, offering increased accuracy, saving costs and time.

When someone develops a food intolerance, the body cannot digest certain substances easily. A common problem is lactose intolerant. This enzyme helps you to break down lactose in milk. Instead of breaking down in glucose and gluconate in the stomach, lactose breaks down in the colon. This causes a reaction in the body.

Food Intolerance vs Food Allergy

Our tests cover both intolerance and allergic reactions to certain foods. Food-related sensitivity can differ from food-related allergies in some people. Food intolerance is often more prevalent than food allergies. It can be said that about 45% of people feel allergic and about 2% have an eating disorder or allergy. Food allergy reactions are however much greater. A few symptoms also appear immediately following exposure to a drug which can include anaphylaxis, swelling, coughs or even hives. Symptoms associated with food intolerance can last 72 hours and are usually milder. Many patients report itchy or vomiting.

We can perform food intolerance and allergy tests with blood samples using our finger prick home tests, which are then sent to our Welzo lab for analysis. Our first step is sending a food allergy or intolerance kit with a finger prick home test. The kit includes the following: A cleaning wipe for your fingers; a plaster; a single reusable lancet; an absorbent wand; and a sealed container for your blood. Welzo provides the most inclusive and easy to use allergy testing on the market. We have developed high precision food intolerance testing with the most accurate results using new advances in medical technology. Everything that was developed for your test is optimised for accuracy. Having a complete and satisfied life means understanding how your body responds in various ways to different foods. 

Accuracy of Results

Our team of professionals has been providing services for people with intolerances for over 40 years. We have developed a variety of food intolerance and allergy testing procedures which have been rigorously evaluated and monitored. Samples of food intolerance testing are taken using a special home finger prick system that keeps this safe while travelling through transit. All allergy tests are carried in a secure bag. All are marked for easy tracking of the individual. Once the sample has arrived safely at our laboratory, our scientists can perform the necessary tests on a fully equipped and certified equipment and system. When you have an allergic reaction and want to have a quick, effective remedy visit our online pharmacy. Our medical team provides antihistamines to help with allergic reactions. In regards to antihistamines, while these may not affect blood results, we do recommend stopping them for 5 days prior to taking the test to ensure they do not affect the results.

If you think you may be allergic to something, it is important to see an allergist for testing. Allergy testing can help determine what substances you are allergic to and how severe your allergies are. It can also help guide you on the best way to avoid your triggers and treat your symptoms.
