Just wondering if anyone has used one and if it was any good? Given you can't get into a gp at the moment I thought I might try one for my daughter.

Thanks.

Nope, not reputable or accurate, total waste of money.

If your dd is having reactions your GP should refer to allergy clinic. Keep a diary and take photos of reactions. You can email photos to the GP. I had to do this earlier this year with my ds, and the referral went through very quickly.

No, I believe Allergy UK don't recommend they are used.

Thank you! That will save me some wasted money x

A consumer magazine, can't remember which country, did it, sending samples from the same person to a dozen of companies, and the results were all over the places, totally inconsistent. Pure rubbish.

What are the issues with your DD?
