The Allergy Profile II test is a targeted blood allergy test that checks your body’s IgE response to 94 common foods, from dairy, eggs, and gluten to fruits, vegetables, seafood, spices, and more. This test is ideal for anyone experiencing issues, such as digestive discomfort, skin infections, flu, or headaches.
Certain allergies can trigger rapid and severe immune reactions, which makes early detection essential. Whether you're struggling with known sensitivities or want to diagnose the causes, the home allergy tests (Profile-1 and Profile-2) in the UK help you identify the cause and manage your health without leaving home.
Why Get Tested?
The Allergy Profile provides a focused analysis of your body's IgE response to 94 commonly consumed foods, helping determine the root cause. The IgE-mediated food allergies involve an immune system response that can be rapid and more severe. Identifying these triggers through a reliable food allergy test allows you to adjust your diet with confidence and avoid potentially harmful reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does this test detect?
This test checks for IgE-mediated food allergies — the kind that cause immediate allergic reactions like itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
What’s the difference between an allergy and intolerance?
Yes, though children under 2 may have different immune responses. Consult your GP for very young children.
Can I do this test while taking antihistamines?
Yes. Unlike skin prick tests, blood-based IgE testing is not affected by antihistamines.
Will I need to avoid foods before testing?
No elimination is needed — but make sure you’ve been regularly consuming the foods being tested in recent weeks.
What is an allergy blood test?
An allergy test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. Elevated IgE levels may indicate an allergic reaction to specific foods or environmental substances.
What are some major food allergens?
The most common food allergens include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish (like shrimp and crab), tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. These foods are responsible for the majority of serious allergic reactions.
What are the most common allergy symptoms?
Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe and include skin rashes, itching, swelling, nasal congestion, digestive issues, sneezing, and difficulty breathing. In some cases, symptoms may appear shortly after exposure to the allergen.
What does elevated IgE mean?
Elevated IgE levels typically indicate that your immune system is reacting to allergens. It may be a sign of allergies, eczema, asthma, or chronic skin conditions.
