For some people, even the tiniest amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger life-threatening symptoms. Of the foods listed above, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and fish usually cause the most serious allergic reactions. Food allergy testing can find out whether you or your child has a food allergy.
Intolerance testing tests food items including everyday foods and common fridge items, and non-food items such as pets and pollens. Testing includes a nutritional deficiency, metal toxicity, gut biome and hormonal balance analysis.
A skin prick test can determine your reaction to a particular food. In this test, a small amount of the suspected food is placed on the skin of your forearm or back. A doctor or another health care provider then pricks your skin with a needle to allow a tiny amount of the substance beneath your skin surface.
