Food allergy

Test Details

Food allergy testing is an important tool to understand the interaction between the immune system and the foods consumed. In cases of allergy, the immune system perceives certain foods as harmful and triggers responses that can affect the digestive system, skin, respiratory system, and overall energy and mood. The test helps identify foods to reduce or avoid, improving quality of life, particularly for individuals with unexplained chronic symptoms after eating. Results can be used to create a personalized dietary plan that prevents excessive reactions and supports immune and digestive health.
