Allergy Test- Update

[emily1982]

Well I had my test earlier and it came back with some very interesting results. Turns out i basically reacting very much so towards anything dairy appart from eggs. I reacted to cows milk, cheese, ice-cream, butter, CHOCOLATE...then i also i reacted to swede/ turnip/peas...which is no great loss

So now ive just got to go about trying to cut them out for awhile! AS IF i haven't got enough to think about at the moment!

Oh no! thats alot of reactions and to CHOCOLATE
Good luck on cutting them out of your diet,and its good that you know what triggers you off etc.

allergic to chocolate
where did you have your allergy test done?
I had mine done at hospital a few months ago and it came back negative.. apparently i'm not allergic to anything, but i still have reactions to eating certain dairy products and have reactions to grass dust etc.
maybe the hospital test is a basic one

I had it done at a local chemist...they stuck a metal thing on my finger and which was attached to a machine to test my 'energy' then they put the different items on the machine and your energy reacts to them...some more so than others.

I know Holland and Barrett also tests though as this guy works for them to part-time. Was very good and he gave me some booklets. I'm also reacting to an E number they put in coke....WHAT AM I MEANT TO PUT MY MALIBU INTO IF I CAN'T DRINK COKE???

Do allergy tests cost?

 

[emily1982]

This one did yes....but there free on the NHS but round here there is a long waiting list and the test is basic.

I might go to a chemist and have it done there then!
How much does it cost roughly??

 

[emily1982]

I paid £52 but had the full works do with E numbers!!!

Has anyone got any experience of this? Despite or the fun and laughing the diet man made out it was quite a thing to take on and ow i've sat down to read the booklet and im abit shocked!!
