Quick Answers About Allergy Testing

What is allergy testing?

Allergy testing helps investigate whether foods, inhalants or environmental triggers may be contributing to symptoms such as eczema, hives, hay fever, sinus congestion, asthma, digestive symptoms or immune reactions.

At Morkare Natural Clinic Brisbane, we assess your symptoms and health history, then refer for appropriate allergy testing through accredited third-party pathology providers, including NutriPATH, where clinically indicated.

Allergy Testing Support in Brisbane

Many people know they are reacting to something, but they are not sure whether the trigger is food, pollen, dust mites, mould, pets or another environmental factor.

At Morkare Natural Clinic, our practitioners help adults and children explore possible allergy triggers through clinical assessment, testing referrals where appropriate, and personalised naturopathic, nutritional and homeopathic support.

When Should You Consider Allergy Testing?

Allergy testing may be considered when symptoms are recurring, unexplained or triggered by foods or environmental exposure.

Types of Allergy Testing

The most appropriate allergy test depends on your symptoms, age, health history and suspected triggers.
Where clinically appropriate, Morkare Natural Clinic may refer patients for testing through accredited third-party pathology providers.

• IgE Food Allergy Testing

Food Allergy vs Food Intolerance

Allergy testing and food intolerance testing are different. Understanding the difference helps guide the most appropriate investigation.

The Gut, Immune System and Allergies

Allergies involve the immune system, and immune function is closely connected with gut health, nutrition, inflammation and the microbiome.

This is why our practitioners often consider digestion, diet, gut microbiome balance, nutrient status, stress and immune resilience when supporting people with allergy-related symptoms.
