Why Consider Allergy Testing?
Allergies can affect almost every part of daily life. A private allergy test can help identify specific triggers so you can make targeted changes instead of guessing. Testing may be helpful if you experience:
- Persistent sneezing, coughing or blocked nose.
- Itchy, watery eyes or seasonal hay fever symptoms.
- Skin rashes, hives or eczema flare-ups.
- Bloating, tummy discomfort or other digestive issues after eating.
- Wheezing, chest tightness or breathing difficulties.
- Frequent headaches or unexplained tiredness.
What Does the Allergy Complete Blood Test Cover?
Using a single blood sample, the Allergy Complete profile tests your reaction (IgE antibodies) to 295 different allergens, including:
- Environmental allergens: tree, grass and weed pollens, moulds, house dust mites and animal dander (e.g. cat, dog, horse).
- Food allergens: dairy, egg, wheat, gluten-containing cereals, soya, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, fish, fruits, vegetables and spices.
- Other allergens: latex and selected occupational or contact allergens.
Your results include a detailed report showing which allergens you are sensitised to and the strength of each reaction.
How the Allergy Test Works
- Consultation: our clinician or pharmacist discusses your symptoms, medical history and any suspected triggers.
- Blood sample: we take a small blood sample in our Neath clinic – no skin-prick testing required.
- Laboratory analysis: your sample is sent securely to London Medical Laboratory for analysis of IgE antibodies to 295 allergens.
- Results: a full report is usually available in around 7 working days. We can arrange a follow-up consultation to go through your results in detail (additional fee may apply).
What You Can Do with Your Results
Once you know which allergens you react to, you can start to make informed changes, such as:
- Adjusting your diet to avoid specific food triggers.
- Reducing exposure to environmental allergens where possible.
- Discussing medication options (such as antihistamines or nasal sprays) with a healthcare professional.
- Sharing your report with your GP, allergy clinic or dietitian for ongoing management.
