About the Food Allergy Panel

Not sure what's triggering your symptoms? Rashes, hives, swelling, stomach upset or an itchy mouth after eating can all come from a food allergy — and guessing means cutting out foods you may not need to avoid.

Why test rather than guess. The Food Allergy Panel checks your blood for allergy antibodies (specific IgE) to 44 common foods at once. It shows which foods your immune system is reacting to and how strongly, so you can stop avoiding the safe ones and focus on the real triggers.

One sample, results in 1 day. No skin pricks and no need to stop antihistamines first.

What a result means. A positive result shows sensitisation, not always a true allergy — the results are read together with your symptoms. A doctor can explain them and advise on next steps; any severe reaction such as breathing difficulty needs urgent care first.

What's included

44 food allergens tested from one blood sample
Specific IgE (allergy antibody) level for each allergen

How the test is done

  1. One blood sample

    A single blood test checks all 44 allergens at once — no skin-prick testing, and no need to stop antihistamines beforehand.

  2. Results in 1 day

    Each allergen is reported with its own level of allergy antibody (specific IgE), so you can see what you react to and how strongly.

  3. Go through the results

    Bring your results to one of our doctors, who will explain what they mean alongside your symptoms and advise on the next steps.

Who it suits

Anyone with symptoms after eating — rashes, hives, lip or face swelling, stomach upset or eczema flares — who wants to know which foods are responsible. Also useful for parents of children with suspected food allergies.
