Why Allergy Testing?
Roughly 1 in 4 people suffer from an allergy at some point in their life. Often allergies develop as children, but adults can also develop these later in life. Whether it is specific foods, high pollen season or feeling uncomfortable around pets, these things may indicate that you have some form of allergy in that situation.
An allergy occurs when the body's immune system responds to something that is harmless to others. Examples of this can be animal fur, food, and even house dust. Sometimes you can have a mild response ( a runny nose or cough), but some allergies can cause more severe reactions that lead to skin irritation, itching or tenderness. If you have repeated exposure to something that you are allergic to, this may also lead to life-threatening reactions.
Having an allergy test can help to identify these things and help you find a better way to manage your allergies when in these situations. At Peek A Baby, we offer the ALEX2 allergy test, a comprehensive option that tests for 295 allergens, both traditional and molecular. Molecular allergies can be more specific forms of an allergy, so the skin of an apple as opposed to just simply an apple.

Invest in Allergy Testing
The ALEX2 Allergy Test offered at Peek A Baby is a blood test that tests for 295 different, unique allergens. From a blood sample, both traditional and molecular allergies can be identified.
The detection of molecular allergens can provide you with a complete risk assessment of food allergies. This helps to ensure that dietary requirements are taken into account. Where possible, you want to avoid restrictive diets, but adjust your lifestyle to give yourself a healthy balance whilst managing your allergies.
Many allergy tests do not test for or detect molecular allergens which results in multiple tests being needed. This comprehensive Allergy Solution test from Peek A Baby removes this need, giving you clear and detailed information in one test to help give you complete peace of mind.
Allergy Testing Questions Answered
Some of the most common signs of an allergy are:
- Runny nose or sneezing
- Pain or tenderness on the areas of the face around your cheeks, eyes and forehead
- Swollen mouth, lips, throat or eyes
- Coughing, wheezing or breathlessness
- Itchy skin or a skin rash where the surface of the skin is raised
- Gastrointestinal symptoms: diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting
The Allergy Solution test is done on the blood sample taken in the clinic by one of our professionals. The antibody IgE is only found in the serum of your blood. The test is designed to measure the total amount of IgE in your serum as well as specific IgE levels against a wide range of allergens and molecular allergens. This means that by testing nearly 300 allergens, there is a 99.9% accuracy in identifying your allergy.
No, you can continue all your normal medications as they will not affect the test.
No. There is no IgE in hair, so an allergy test from a hair sample will not reflect a true allergy.
No, but we strongly recommend you discuss the results with your GP or Allergist if an allergy is detected.
The results come with a summary page which will assist you in understanding the detailed report. If an allergy is detected you should work with your GP or allergist to look at how to manage it properly. It is important to note that an IgE response does not necessarily mean allergic disease, it means you are sensitive to that allergen. Whether it is a true allergy is still a clinical diagnosis.
Most current allergy tests look at a single allergen, which can mean several tests need to be performed to derive a clear allergy diagnosis. Many of them do not identify the molecular components that make up the allergen. A component that is causing the allergy symptoms may also be found in another allergen which was not tested for. For example, your allergy test for apples may be positive but the specific component in the apple that you are allergic to could also be in other foods e.g. peaches. This allergy test can detect these molecular components and help you get your allergy symptoms under control.
