Allergy & Intolerance Testing

At Fiji Skin Clinic, we believe that understanding your body is the first step toward achieving optimal health and healthier skin. Allergies and intolerances can significantly impact your well-being, from skin concerns, fatigue and digestive discomfort more. That’s why we offer comprehensive Allergy Testing and Intolerance Testing in Birmingham, designed to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and help you regain control over your health and underlying skin concerns.

Our tests are finger prick tests which allow your blood to be analysed for the most accurate results. They are backed by science, easy to complete, and deliver actionable insights tailored to your needs. Whether you’re struggling with digestive issues, skin flare-ups, or unexplained reactions, we’re here to guide you toward clarity and relief. These tests are so easy to use, they can be posted out to your home free of postage charge or they can be performed in clinic. 

UNDERSTANDING INTOLERANCES

Intolerances are not immune responses. They occur when your body struggles to digest or process certain foods, often due to enzyme deficiencies or sensitivities to specific components. Unlike allergies, which trigger immediate symptoms, intolerances can lead to delayed reactions that may appear hours or even days after consumption.

Symptoms of intolerances can vary widely and may include:

  • Digestive issues, such as bloating, wind, constipation, IBS or diarrhoea etc
  • Skin flare-ups, such as acne, rashes/redness psoriasis or eczema
  • Persistent fatigue or brain fog
  • Joint pain or headaches

UNDERSTANDING ALLERGIES

Allergies occur when your immune system identifies a harmless substance, such as a food or environmental factor, as a threat. This triggers the production of antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE), which cause an immediate immune response. Common symptoms include swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylactic shock.

Allergic reactions typically occur within minutes to a few hours of exposure and require avoidance of the specific allergen to prevent recurrence. Testing for allergies can help pinpoint the exact trigger, enabling you to take the necessary precautions and manage your environment effectively.

CASE STUDY

Our client had been battling persistent psoriasis, even though she ate healthy and had improved her gut health to rebalance her microbiome. While this helped her overall well-being, her skin flare-ups continued, leaving her frustrated and searching for answers.

 

After consulting with us, she decided to take a Premium Food Intolerance Test to identify potential dietary triggers contributing to her condition. The results revealed intolerances which were likely exacerbating her symptoms.

 

By eliminating these foods from her diet, her skin began to improve within weeks. Over time, her psoriasis cleared completely, restoring her confidence and transforming her quality of life.

 

Now that she completed the elimination period of 12 weeks, she enjoys healthier, clearer skin and feels empowered by the knowledge to maintain her progress.

“Identifying my intolerances changed everything. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.”

Understanding Your Premium Food Intolerance Results

The Premium Food Intolerance Test provides you with detailed insights into your body’s response. Your results are presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format to help you take meaningful steps toward improving your health.

What Your Results Mean

Each food and drink ingredient tested is scored on a scale from 0 to 100, helping you identify sensitivities and take action:

Normal: These foods and drinks can generally be consumed without restriction. However, if you’ve previously avoided these items due to known sensitivities, it’s best to continue doing so.

Borderline: Indicates a borderline sensitivity. Limiting your consumption of these items may help reduce symptoms.

High: Indicates raised IgG antibody levels. For optimal results, these foods and drinks should be eliminated from your diet completely.

Your results don’t just highlight sensitivities—they provide a roadmap for positive change. The included elimination diet diary allows you to track your progress while offering practical advice to support your journey toward better health.
