Including Food Allergy Testing

Welcome to Precision Health, your trusted provider of allergy testing services, including food allergy testing.

Allergic diseases, also known as allergies, are conditions caused by an abnormal immune response to foreign substances in your body. It can be challenging to identify the triggers of your immune response, and that's why it's crucial to seek the help of an expert. Our team of healthcare providers at Precision Health has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating allergies.

We use a combination of allergy testing, physical exams, and your complete medical history to determine the root cause of your allergy symptoms. Our allergy testing procedure is performed safely and accurately to identify allergens based on skin reactions. We use skin testing or blood testing, depending on the severity of your symptoms and the risk of severe allergic reactions. To get the best results, make sure to avoid taking antihistamines for at least 48 hours prior to the allergy test.

Untreated allergy symptoms can lead to a host of illnesses, including insomnia, sinusitis, headaches and migraines, chronic fatigue, depression, muscle aches, joint pain, and more. That's why we strongly advise against self-diagnosing and instead seek the help of an experienced allergy specialist. Our team of board-certified physicians is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including allergies, acute sinusitis, asthma, eczema, food allergies, hives, and seasonal allergies.

If you experience symptoms like itchy eyes, nose or throat, watery eyes, hives, or abdominal pain after eating certain foods, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We test for over 80 different allergens, including grasses, weeds, pollen, trees, dust mites, cat and dog dander, dairy, and more.

Food allergies occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks a food or ingredient. Common food allergies include eggs, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts, and fish. Food allergies can cause mild to severe symptoms, including sneezing, itching, cramping, runny nose, nausea or vomiting, rash, diarrhea, hives, and swelling in the lips or mouth.

Precision Health's allergy testing procedure is quick and virtually painless. It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete and involves applying a small allergen applicator filled with allergens specific to our geographical region to the skin. This causes a local allergic reaction, revealing your sensitivity to these specific allergens.

With allergy immunotherapy, patients can find relief from their symptoms without relying on constant use of antihistamines and other medications. Immunotherapy involves gradually introducing the allergens you are sensitive to into your system, allowing your immune system to create antibodies and ultimately desensitize to the allergens.

Don't let allergy symptoms control your life. Contact Precision Health today to schedule your allergy testing appointment and find the relief you deserve.
