Allergy Testing

[marcopront]

I don't live in the UK so cannot go to a GP.
My daughter has allergies but I would like to get her tested to confirm them.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in the Birmingham area?

I can tell you what not to do - because there are a lot of fake/con "allergy tests" offered these days. Do not use any mail order allergy service, do not use the York Test, do not use any allergy testing offered in health shops, avoid anything that claims to offer allergy testing based on a single-drop of blood, or a hair sample, or muscle resistance, or auras, or bioresonance, or that involves being wired into a magic box with blinkenlamps.

If you don't live in the UK, what's your time-scale for the testing?

I would try ringing the allergy department at Birmingham University Hospital and asking about the best way of getting a private referral. And/or I'd ring BSACI with the same question.

I would contact the blood lab in your local hospital. They may be able to advice the route you take to get proper testing.

Thank you I'll try those

I had patch testing via the nhs 85 patches on my back
