Allergy and Intolerance Tests at The Health Suite Leicester

Allergy and intolerance testing at The Health Suite Leicester helps identify the foods, environmental triggers, or substances that may be causing symptoms such as digestive issues, fatigue, skin reactions, or respiratory problems. By pinpointing these triggers, we provide personalised advice and management strategies to improve your health and wellbeing.

What Is the Difference Between Allergy and Intolerance Tests?

• Allergy tests look for immune reactions (IgE antibodies) that cause immediate symptoms such as hives, swelling, breathing problems, or severe reactions after exposure to an allergen.
• Intolerance tests focus on delayed reactions (IgG antibodies), often linked to digestive or inflammatory responses. These can cause symptoms like bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin issues. Symptoms may appear hours or days later and often include bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin issues.

Both tests help identify triggers, but they measure different types of reactions and are used for different symptoms.

Who Can Benefit?

• Individuals with digestive issues, bloating, or fatigue: If you frequently experience unexplained digestive discomfort, bloating, or persistent fatigue, allergy or intolerance testing can help identify foods or substances that may be triggering these symptoms.
• Those with skin conditions such as eczema or rashes: Allergic reactions or food sensitivities can often contribute to skin flare-ups. Testing helps uncover underlying triggers so you can manage symptoms more effectively.
• People with hayfever, pollen, or environmental sensitivities: Seasonal allergies, dust, or pet sensitivities can affect quality of life. Testing identifies specific allergens to guide avoidance strategies or treatments.
• Parents seeking answers for children with potential allergies or intolerances: Children may show signs of allergies through digestive issues, skin reactions, or respiratory symptoms. Early testing allows personalised management plans to improve health and wellbeing.
