A food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a specific food. When someone with a food allergy eats (or sometimes even comes into contact with) the allergen, their body produces IgE antibodies, which trigger the release of chemicals like histamine. This can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Common symptoms of a food allergy include: • Hives, itching, or skin rashes • Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, or throat • Stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting • Wheezing or difficulty breathing • In severe cases, anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening reaction that requires immediate medical attention Food allergies are different from food intolerances. Food allergies (IgE-mediated) cause immediate immune reactions that can be dangerous, whereas food intolerances (often linked to IgG antibodies) usually cause delayed, less severe symptoms. Food allergies can only be identified with a blood sample (IgE antibody testing) or through a skin prick test carried out under medical supervision. If you suspect a food allergy, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional or allergist. Allergy testing can help confirm specific allergens and guide safe management.

Sensitivity NOT Allergy It is important to reiterate that this test is NOT for allergy. It is easy to confuse allergy and sensitivity or intolerance as the different terms are often used interchangeably, which leads to misinterpretation. Allergy and sensitivity are not the same. Of course if someone is allergic to a food item it could be described asbeing ‘sensitive’ however as a health condition allergy is different from sensitivity or intolerance. There are a couple of fundamental differences between allergy and sensitivity; having food sensitivity may be uncomfortable and cause symptoms that, whilst annoying, embarrassing or even debilitating, do not have the potential to be life-threatening like those caused by food allergy; food sensitivity can also change over time, it can often be overcome through implementation of a food elimination diet and/or improving gut health, however food allergy tends to be lifelong. The physiological process, which takes place in the body during an allergic reaction, is also entirely different to that of sensitivity. An allergic reaction involves the immune system and cells called antibodies, whereas this is not involved in sensitivity. Hair testing does not test antibody levels therefore this is why it cannot be used to test for allergy.

Bioresonance testing looks at the energetic frequencies of a hair sample to identify potential imbalances. It does not measure immune antibodies or diagnose allergies. For this reason, a confirmed allergy may not appear in your bioresonance results. You should still avoid allergens identified by a medical professional, regardless of your sensitivity results.
