Food allergy is common

Food allergy is very common - with 10% affected. But unfortunately the diagnosis can easily be missed. When it goes unrecognised, you can suffer unnecessarily. The difficulty is that there are no specific food allergy symptoms - that is because food allergy can cause such a big range of problems. Our paediatric specialist clinic can help you work it out.

Allergy Centre

The Allergy Centre is dedicated to helping you find out if you have an allergy that might be causing your symptoms. A consultation includes a questionnaire, an interview, skin prick tests and appropriate blood tests - all this is included in the first consultation fee. You can claim on your health insurance as a specialist consultation. If you wish to make an appointment for the Allergy Centre, all you need to do is to phone us. » Read more...
