Allergy Test Small

Lab Test

Blood

GetTested’s Allergy Test Small measures 38 different items, covering 95% of the most common allergies. An allergic reaction does not always trigger severe symptoms; it can also cause milder or more diffuse symptoms, such as a runny nose or a rash. This home test is analysed at a professional, ISO-certified lab. You perform the test at home using a simple blood finger test.
Please note that histamine intolerance can cause symptoms similar to an allergic reaction. For those who want to test their food intolerances as well, consider our extended test, which assesses a total of 78 food and non-food items.

Food Intolerance 40 items

Lab Test

Do you experience hypersensitivity to certain foods? Food intolerance symptoms, in contrast to the immediate onset of allergic reactions, can emerge hours or even days later.

If you want to analyse both allergies and intolerances we recommend this test, but if you want more extensive food intolerance tests, we have also 80 items incl. gluten and 240 items.
