View Full Version : Food alergy testing
Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Caithness that do food allergy testing. I know the Beauty Box and Williamsons Chemist used to but both have stopped for some reason. Thanks

I think the tests were stopped because they were found to be unreliable. Here is an investigation by Watchdog (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2009/02/food_intolerance_test.html) regarding these tests.

If you think you have a genuine allergy see your doctor, they can arrange proper testing
