The Advantages of the Food Reaction Test

There are countless different food allergies and food intolerances and almost as many tests to get to the bottom of them. Do you have unanswered complaints and do not know where to start? Then the cerascreen® Food Reaction Test offers you a helpful initial orientation.

Food intolerances or food intolerances can not only be responsible for gastrointestinal complaints. They often manifest themselves through symptoms such as tiredness, skin irritation and burning sensation in the oral cavity. Without a food intolerance test, it is often difficult to identify the causes of such symptoms in everyday life.

To take the cerascreen® Food Reaction Test there is no need for you to consult with your general practitioner, drive to a clinic or wait for an appointment. To collect the sample, you will receive detailed, illustrated instructions and after the analysis you will be provided with a detailed overview of the concentration of antibodies to certain foods.

Are IgE tests reliable?

With a wide range of food intolerance tests, allergy tests and sensitivity tests available on the market, it can be tricky to navigate information about which test is most helpful for you. These days, you can have skin prick tests, bioresonance hair tests and blood tests – all to find out which foods your body finds problematic, if any.

IgE blood tests like Cerascreen's are a common method used by doctors and registered private clinics to identify potential allergies, along with skin prick tests and patch tests. Although false positives may emerge from a blood test, these tests still provide useful information on your IgE blood count in reaction to a specific set of foods. Even if an allergy is not identified, sensitisation to certain foods can also be revealed with this method.

An IgE blood test is furthermore often used if other forms of allergy tests are unavailable or unsuitable, due to eczema or risks of anaphylactic shock.

As soon as your sample has been analysed, you will receive your results report via the My cerascreen® app or your user account on our website. You can easily view the report on your smartphone, tablet or computer and read it in printed form, if required.
