The Accessible Allergy Test

These terms are often confused, but they describe very different reactions in the body:

Food Allergy
• Involves the immune system producing IgE antibodies.
• Reactions are usually immediate (minutes to 2 hours).
• Symptoms can include hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening.
• Food allergies can only be confirmed with a blood sample (IgE testing) or a skin prick test performed by a medical professional.

Food Intolerance
• Linked to the immune system producing IgG antibodies.
• Reactions are delayed, often showing up hours or even days later.
• Symptoms are less severe but can include bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, and digestive discomfort.
• IgG intolerance testing can help identify potential trigger foods to guide dietary adjustments.

Food Sensitivity
• A broader term often used for non-allergic, non-IgG responses.
• Can include reactions to foods, drinks, or environmental factors (like pollen, pet dander, or chemicals).
• Symptoms can overlap with intolerances, making them difficult to pinpoint without testing.
• Bioresonance sensitivity testing (hair analysis) provides insights into potential sensitivities and imbalances, supporting wellness choices.

In summary:
• Allergies (IgE) are immediate and can be dangerous.
• Intolerances (IgG) are delayed and affect well-being.
• Sensitivities (often non-food) are broader and may be linked to environmental or lifestyle triggers.

Blood-based tests involve analysing a blood sample to measure specific biological markers. These tests are typically interpreted by healthcare professionals as part of a broader medical assessment.

Bioresonance services use a non-invasive hair sample and are categorised within complementary and alternative wellness approaches. They are designed to provide informational insights that may support personal wellbeing reflection.

Neither service should be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have health concerns, you should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Our tests are ideal for people who experience ongoing symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, or digestive discomfort without a clear cause.

They’re also helpful if you suspect certain foods or environmental factors may be affecting your energy, mood, or overall wellness, but you can’t pinpoint which ones.

Testing provides personalized insights to guide smarter dietary and lifestyle choices.

No, our sensitivity tests are designed to be simple and non-invasive.

Hair sample tests only require a few strands of hair, which can be gently plucked or trimmed close to the root. There’s no discomfort involved, and no needles or blood are required.

We only need a small sample — around 4 to 5 strands of hair, at least 1 inch long. That’s about the thickness of a pencil lead, so you won’t notice a difference. The hair can come from your head or, if needed, another area of the body. Colored or treated hair is fine.

Bioresonance intolerance tests
Safe for children of any age, since only a small hair sample is required and the process is completely non-invasive.

Bioresonance intolerance tests
Yes, you can take a bioresonance intolerance test during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The test is completely non-invasive and only requires a small hair sample. It poses no risk to you or your baby. However, it’s important to remember that results should be used as a guideline for dietary and lifestyle choices, not as a substitute for medical advice. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified health provider before making significant changes to your diet while pregnant or if you have a medical condition or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition and/or medical symptoms.

Allergy (IgE) tests
Certain medications, such as antihistamines, steroids, or immunosuppressants, may impact results. Speak with your doctor before testing.

Intolerance (IgG) tests
Most medications do not affect results, though long-term immunosuppressive therapy or steroids may reduce antibody levels.

Bioresonance intolerance tests
Medications generally do not affect the analysis, since the test measures hair sample frequencies.

Your results will appear within 2–10 minutes, depending on the test type. Full instructions on how to take your sample and read the results are included with each test.

There is no physical kit that’s sent out to you. Once you’ve completed your order please following the on screen or emailed instructions and send us your hair sample to the address provided.

You do not need any special packaging to send your sample in, just place your hair into a small sealable bag clearly stating your redemption code and name in a secure mailing envelope.

Please remember to pay for the correct postage as we cannot be responsible for mail without a stamp.

Bioresonance Sensitivity Test (Hair analysis)
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.

Hair food sensitivity tests, also known as bioresonance sensitivity tests, are designed as a wellness screening tool rather than a medical diagnostic. They analyse energetic responses from a small hair sample to highlight potential imbalances with foods, drinks, and environmental items.

At Check My Body Health, our Food Sensitivity Test is processed in an ISO 9001 accredited laboratory, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. While bioresonance is not medically approved or used in NHS diagnostics, many people find the results provide valuable, affordable insights into possible triggers for symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and skin irritation.

In summary: hair food sensitivity tests are not a substitute for medical testing, but when carried out in a quality-assured lab, they can offer a cost-effective and trustworthy way to explore potential sensitivities and guide lifestyle changes.
