Wondering if anyone out there has any information about Allergy Testing.

Has anyone had it done, and if so, was it beneficial.

I have heard that screening can cost between £50-£100+.

Would be interested to know what is involved and how long do you have to wait for results.

Can anyone help?:eek:

First place to try would be your doctor.

Go to the doc and get it done in a hospital with all the kit ready incase of a serious reaction.
If you take an anaphylaxis shock which is a severe reaction there is the help needed..always a risk of it happening and better to be safe than Dead!
Results of pinprick testing is within 24 hrs .

I tried to get allergy testing through my doctor but was told just to keep taking anti-histamines. So I went to Frances Yellop, and I discovered the problem was not dust (as the doctor assumed) but actually dairy. I gave up dairy for 3 months and my allergies cleared up. I'd recommend giving her a call, think its £40 for a main session plus a follow-up session.
