Allergy Testing Paradigm
A Simple Blood Test...
Hundreds of different allergens can be tested with just one blood sample, making 3gAllergy particularly beneficial for children. There is no need to endure the prolonged discomfort of multiple skin prick tests. With 3gAllergy testing is quick and simple!

The testing paradigm below has been adapted from published guidelines by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). These guidelines assist the physician in diagnosing allergy in infants and children.

A clinical history of skin, gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms that are suggestive of allergy often prompts a pediatrician or family doctor to prescribe specific IgE testing. Food allergies are more frequently seen in young children, while inhalant allergies usually appear later in childhood. Consequently, it is recommended that children under the age of two be tested for specific IgE to common food allergens initially, and then tested for inhalant allergies when they get older.

Allergies are often inherited. An individual with inherited allergies is considered atopic.
Children with one or more allergic parents should be assessed for atopic risk by testing
for specific IgE to common food and inhalant allergens.
