Next Generation Tests for Allergies

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance — such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander — or a food that doesn't cause a reaction in most people.

Your immune system produces substances known as antibodies. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system.

The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening emergency. While most allergies can't be cured, treatments can help relieve your allergy symptoms.

Blood tests for allergies measure the quantity of antibodies that cause allergies, known as antibodies to immunoglobulin E (IgE). 

New Generation Allergy Test

Food Allergy Test Panel 1 (20 allergens)

Allergy tests are used to detect if the blood contains antibodies to a particular substance, such as peanuts or pollen, for example. These antibodies are called immunoglobulin E or IgE antibodies. If a person's blood contains IgE antibodies, specific to a particular substance, it means that he/she is allergic to that substance. These antibodies cause rashes, itching, sneezing and other symptoms.

Diagnostic Range: The following allergens were tested: egg white, egg yolk, cow's milk, bread yeast, wheat flour, rye flour, rice, soy, peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, apple, kiwi, peach, tomato, carrot, potato, celery, cod , sea crab (chicken).

Food Intolerance Tests

Food Intolerances 24

Unlike classic allergies, where IgE antibodies are formed for rapid allergy, food intolerances produce IgG antibodies, that cause a delayed type of reaction. The condition is also called "food hypersensitivity". 

When that happens, specific IgG antibodies are formed, and they accept certain dietary proteins as foreign antigens. The result is a delayed immune response - within a few days.

Impaired Histamine Degradation

Histamine Intolerance

A wide range of foods are naturally rich in histamine or release high levels of histamine during storage. Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an intestinal enzyme that normally destroys histamine contained in food. Therefore, even after consuming foods rich in histamine, no symptoms are observed. In carriers of genetic variants, DAO deficiency is observed, and undigested histamine is unnecessarily absorbed, exhibiting various symptoms.

Gastrointestinal symptoms: diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, gas, stomach pain, vomiting.

Symptoms affecting the head and face: redness of the face and / or chest (a very common symptom), migraine-like headache, Quincke's edema (swelling that occurs mainly around the eyes and lips, sometimes in the throat).

Respiratory problems: asthma, stuffy nose and watery eyes.

Skin complaints: rash, eczema, urticaria, acne.

In women: dysmenorrhea. The symptoms of HIT disappear during pregnancy and return after birth.

Other symptoms: wheezing, sleep disorders, arrhythmia, mood swings - from fatigue to irritability and aggression.

Diagnostic Range: DAO; HNMT

Diagnostic Method: Sanger sequencing

Research Material: 3-6 ml venous blood / 2 ml peripheral blood

Results within: 10 business days

Fee: BGN 200
