What To Expect

Allergy & Intolerance Testing

Allergy and intolerance testing helps uncover hidden triggers that may be affecting your skin, digestion, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. At Fiji Skin Clinic we offer simple finger-prick blood tests that analyse your body’s response to specific foods and environmental allergens.

Premium Food Intolerance Test (IgG) identifies delayed reactions to over 200 foods and drinks, which may contribute to symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, acne, eczema, or inflammation.

Food & Environmental Allergy Test (IgE) identifies immediate immune responses to common allergens such as dairy, nuts, pollen, or dust mites.

Your results provide clear guidance on potential triggers, helping you make informed decisions about your diet and environment so you can support healthier skin and improved wellbeing.

1 What is the difference between a food intolerance and a food allergy?

A food intolerance is usually a delayed reaction caused by difficulty digesting certain foods. Symptoms may appear hours or even days later and often include bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin flare-ups.

A food allergy involves the immune system and can trigger immediate reactions such as itching, swelling, hives, or breathing difficulties. Identifying the difference is important for managing symptoms safely.

2 What symptoms can food intolerance testing help investigate?

Many people live with ongoing symptoms without realising certain foods or environmental triggers may be contributing. Allergy and intolerance testing can help investigate issues such as:

Persistent bloating, wind or digestive discomfort
Acne, eczema, psoriasis or unexplained skin flare-ups
Fatigue, brain fog or low energy
Headaches or migraines
Joint discomfort or inflammation

While these symptoms can have many causes, identifying potential triggers can be an important step toward improving both skin health and overall wellbeing.

3 How does the finger-prick allergy and intolerance test work?

A small blood sample is collected using a simple finger-prick test. The sample is then analysed in a specialist York laboratory to measure immune responses linked to allergies (IgE) or intolerances (IgG). Results are presented in a clear report that highlights possible triggers.

4 Can I take the allergy or intolerance test at home?

Yes. Our tests can be completed in clinic at Fiji Skin Clinic in Sutton Coldfield or posted to your home with easy instructions and free return postage.

5 How long do results take?

Results are typically available within 7–10 working days once the laboratory receives your sample. Your report will clearly highlight foods or allergens that may be contributing to symptoms so you can take informed next steps.
