Home Allergy Tests
Greg Foot investigates allergy and food intolerance tests you do at home. Can they tell you if you should start to eliminate certain foods from your diet? Or are they marketing BS?
Can home tests tell you if you have an allergy or a food intolerance?
We're back with a new batch of investigations and kicking off this series is one of our most popular requests: home allergy tests. The companies that make them claim they can help you work out if you have an allergy or intolerance to certain foods. The idea is the information can help you decide what to eliminate from your diet. But do they work?
Greg is joined by consultant allergist Professor Adam Fox to do a deep-dive and separate out the science fact from the marketing fiction.
