Cow's Milk (whole milk proteins including casein and whey) is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Goat's Milk (whole milk proteins) is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
This test is for screening and information only — it is not a medical diagnosis or professional advice. Please have your results reviewed by a qualified doctor or healthcare provider who can explain what they mean for your personal health situation. If your results show anything outside the normal range, or if you're worried about your health, see your doctor as soon as you can. Don't change any medications or treatments based on these results alone — always talk to your healthcare provider first.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Unlike skin prick tests, blood-based IgE allergy tests are not affected by antihistamines, steroids, or inhalers. You can continue all your regular medications and still get accurate results.
A positive IgE result means your immune system has produced antibodies to that allergen (sensitisation). However, sensitisation does not always cause clinical symptoms. Results should be interpreted alongside your symptom history, ideally with a GP or allergy specialist.
No. Allergy blood tests are not affected by recent food intake.
No. Milk allergy is an IgE-mediated immune reaction to milk proteins, potentially causing hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Lactose intolerance is a digestive enzyme deficiency causing bloating, gas, and diarrhoea. This test detects milk allergy (IgE), not lactose intolerance.
Many children outgrow cow's milk allergy by school age. Regular retesting (every 6-12 months) can monitor whether IgE levels are declining, which may indicate developing tolerance. Your paediatric allergist can advise on when supervised reintroduction might be appropriate.
