Yes, children can take a blood-based intolerance or allergy test, but we recommend it only for those aged 2 years and older. Before this age, a child’s immune system is still developing, which can affect antibody levels (IgG and IgE) and make results less reliable. Parents or guardians should always administer the finger prick collection, following the instructions carefully. If your child has known allergies or health concerns, we strongly recommend you speak with your doctor or healthcare provider first.

Specific IgE blood testing is a clinically recognised method used by healthcare professionals, including within NHS allergy assessment pathways, to help investigate allergic sensitisation.

Yes. Specific IgE blood testing is a clinically recognised method used within allergy assessment pathways. The NHS explains that allergy investigations may include blood testing, while NICE guidance recommends serum-specific IgE testing as one option when assessing suspected IgE-mediated allergies alongside clinical history.

A specific IgE blood test measures allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E antibodies produced by the immune system. Measuring these antibodies can help identify sensitisation to particular allergens, such as foods, pollen, dust mites or animal allergens, when interpreted alongside symptoms and history.

An IgE allergy blood test is a laboratory test that measures levels of allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. IgE antibodies are produced by your immune system when it reacts to substances known as allergens. Measuring specific IgE levels can help identify possible allergic sensitisation to triggers such as foods, pollen, dust mites, moulds and animal allergens. The Check My Body Health Premium Allergy Test uses advanced laboratory technology to measure specific IgE antibodies against 174 food and environmental allergens from one simple home blood sample. Your results should always be reviewed alongside your symptoms and medical history, which is why we include access to professional support to help you understand your results.

If you think you have an allergy, identifying your triggers usually starts by reviewing your symptoms, lifestyle and possible exposures. Healthcare professionals commonly use allergy tests such as skin prick testing or specific IgE blood testing to help investigate suspected allergies. The Check My Body Health Premium Allergy Test provides a convenient way to test for 174 potential allergens from home, using a small blood sample that is analysed in a professional laboratory. Your results provide detailed information about your IgE responses, helping you understand possible triggers and decide appropriate next steps.

Yes. Advances in laboratory testing mean a small blood sample can now be collected conveniently at home and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The Check My Body Health Premium Allergy Test includes everything you need to collect your sample at home. Your sample is analysed using advanced specific IgE allergy testing technology, measuring your immune response against 174 food and environmental allergens, with secure online results and professional support available after testing. For many people, accessing allergy testing through traditional healthcare routes may involve appointments, referrals and waiting times before specific allergens are investigated. Our home-to-lab allergy test provides a fast and convenient way to access comprehensive IgE allergy insights without unnecessary delays, helping you take the next step in understanding your symptoms sooner. Your results include access to a virtual consultation with a registered dietitian, helping you understand your report, discuss potential triggers and consider practical next steps.
