Allergy Testing Brisbane

Many people go through a large percentage, or even all of their lives, unaware that they have allergies.  Being allergic to one’s environment or food doesn’t just mean a “case of the sniffles” or the occasional runny nose.  Allergy sufferers can spend decades suffering, when it’s now possible to discover what is causing the allergic reaction and then take steps to eliminate the culprits.

Allergy Testing Gets to the Bottom of the Issue

Allergy testing is a practical solution for anyone that is having allergy symptoms or perplexing medical issues.  Food allergies, for example, can cause a wide array of serious symptoms.  Gluten sensitivity is beginning to receive a good deal of attention, but there are many other food allergies that can also be very serious.

Testing is an easy way to discover what environmental factors, food or animals could be triggering an immune response.

Our experienced practitioners can assist you with deciphering whether you may have a food allergy or food intolerance, however below you can find the differences between the two diagnoses.

  • Reactions are usually delayed and symptoms may take several days to appear.
  • You can be intolerant to several different food groups at the same time.
  • Sufferers can experience multiple symptoms, from migraine to bloating, diarrhoea, lethargy and a general feeling of unwellness.

Food Allergy Symptoms

  • Reactions usually occur quickly, with a maximum of 2 hours after exposure to the ‘reactive’ food.
  • Food allergy involves the body’s immune system and is a reaction to a specific food.
