Do you suspect that food or environmental factors are behind your symptoms? Whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin irritations, breathing issues, or unexplained reactions, it can be challenging to pinpoint the cause. Our Food & Environmental Allergy Test is designed to provide clarity by analysing your reactions to an extensive range of 117 allergens across both food and environmental categories.

This test stands apart by offering a comprehensive look at potential triggers, including common culprits like pollens, molds, pets, seafood, nuts, grains, and more. It’s ideal for anyone who:

Experiences ongoing symptoms without a clear cause, such as bloating, rashes, sneezing, fatigue, headaches, itchy eyes, or congestion.

Wants to explore if both food and environmental allergens could be contributing to their discomfort.

Seeks a more detailed understanding of their body’s immune response to allergens.

With this test, you’ll gain the insights you need to take meaningful action and start feeling like yourself again.

You don’t need any medical knowledge or training to read our test results, as everything is laid out to make them quick and easy to understand.

As soon as our lab has received your blood sample we will send you an email to let you know your sample has arrived safely. If you haven’t received email correspondence from Check My Body Health, please check your email spam or junk folder in case our emails have gone into these folders.

Whilst we allow blood allergy and intolerance testing from the age of 2 and above, there is evidence to show that allergies are not fully developed until the age of 7. Our advice would be to check with a medical professional before purchasing.

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

Sources:

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.

Sources:

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.

Sources:

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.

Sources:

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.

Sources:

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.

Sources:

The best allergy test depends on your symptoms and what you want to investigate. When choosing an allergy test, important factors include: ✔ Clinically recognised testing method ✔ Number of allergens analysed ✔ Laboratory quality standards ✔ Clear results reporting ✔ Professional support after testing The Check My Body Health Premium Allergy Test has been designed to provide one of the UK’s most comprehensive home allergy testing options, measuring 174 food and environmental allergens using specific IgE technology with professional support included.

IgE (Immunoglobulin E) allergy testing is a clinically recognised method used to assess immune responses associated with allergic reactions.

By measuring allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood, testing can help identify potential food and environmental allergens that may be contributing to symptoms.

“Many people experiencing allergy-related symptoms know something feels ‘off’, but identifying what may be contributing to those reactions is not always straightforward.”

“Over the years, I’ve seen how frustrating it can be when symptoms continue without clear answers. Allergy testing can help provide greater clarity by looking at how the immune system may be responding to common food and environmental allergens.”

“Having a clearer understanding of potential triggers can help people feel more informed, more confident, and better supported in deciding their next steps.”

Understanding the differences between food reactions

Allergy, intolerance, and sensitivity are often used interchangeably — but they’re not the same. Each involves a different type of reaction in your body, and understanding the difference is key to managing your symptoms effectively.
Food allergy
Food intolerance
Sensitivities

Food allergy

Food allergies trigger an immediate immune reaction involving IgE antibodies. When someone eats a food they’re allergic to, their immune system releases histamine, which can cause symptoms like:

• Swelling
• Itching
• Hives
• Trouble breathing
• In severe cases, anaphylaxis

This is why many allergy medications are called antihistamines — they work by blocking the effects of histamine.

For example, tree nut allergies (to foods like hazelnuts, walnuts, or macadamia nuts) can cause severe, life-threatening reactions. Anaphylaxis can occur within minutes of exposure, potentially leading to a dangerous drop in blood pressure or airway swelling that makes it hard to breathe.

Food intolerance

Food intolerances trigger a different kind of immune response than food allergies.

Although the exact science isn’t fully understood, research suggests that IgG antibody reactions may play a role in symptoms for some people. When combined with an elimination diet, IgG testing can help identify foods that may be causing inflammation-related issues.

Unlike allergies, which cause immediate reactions, symptoms of food intolerances often show up hours or even days later — making it much harder to connect the dots without testing.

Common symptoms reported by our customers include:

• Headaches
• Bloating
• Stomach pain
• Indigestion
• Gastrointestinal discomfort

Sensitivities

Food sensitivities happen when your body struggles to process certain foods, often because they are difficult to break down in the digestive system.

Unlike food allergies or intolerances, sensitivities don’t involve the immune system. Instead, they mainly affect how well your digestive system can handle specific foods.

A common example is caffeine sensitivity.

Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Some people break it down more slowly, which can lead to symptoms such as:

• Jitters or restlessness
• Rapid heartbeat
• Trouble sleeping
• Stomach discomfort

While food sensitivities aren’t typically dangerous, they can still cause significant discomfort and affect your daily wellbeing if left unmanaged.
