Test Sample Location

The Chxhealth Allergy Complete Panel is our broadest blood test for suspected immediate (Type I) allergy. It measures IgE antibodies to 63 allergens across foods, tree, grass and weed pollens, pets and other animals, house dust mites, moulds and yeasts, plus your Total IgE.

It brings together everything on the food, pollen, pet and mould panels and both house dust mites. It suits people with complex or wide-ranging symptoms, possible multiple sensitisations, or where earlier testing has not found the trigger. Randox notes that even this panel cannot rule out every IgE allergy.

Your sample is a venous blood draw (4 serum tubes) at our Lanchester clinic in County Durham or one of 50+ UK partner clinics, analysed by Randox Laboratories, accredited by UKAS to ISO 15189. Results take up to 5 working days. Your report shows sensitisation for a clinician to read alongside your symptoms; Chxhealth does not diagnose, treat or prescribe.

Biomarker FAQs

Questions about these biomarkers.

What if my total IgE is high and several allergens come back positive?

A high total IgE often goes with positive results to several allergens. It is common in people with eczema, asthma or hay fever and can also be raised for other reasons. Some of those positives may be low-level or linked to related proteins rather than separate allergies. A clinician will focus on the results that match your symptoms.

More about Total IgE

Can this test diagnose coeliac disease?

No. The wheat marker measures IgE to wheat proteins, which is relevant to wheat allergy, an immediate immune reaction. Coeliac disease is a different, non-IgE condition involving gluten and the gut lining, and this test does not detect it. If coeliac disease is a concern, speak to your GP before removing gluten from your diet.

More about Wheat

Why is celery on the panel?

Celery is one of the 14 major allergens that UK food labels must declare, and it hides in soups, stocks, salads and spice mixes. Celery sensitisation can be linked with birch and mugwort pollen. This marker measures IgE to celery proteins, which a clinician reads alongside your other pollen and food results.

More about Celery

Why does an apple make my mouth itch?

This is often pollen food syndrome. Proteins in raw apple look similar to birch pollen proteins, so people sensitised to birch can get itching or tingling in the mouth and throat soon after eating raw apple. Cooking usually breaks these proteins down. Seeing apple and birch results together can help a clinician recognise the pattern.

More about Apple

Why test walnut as well as other nuts?

Tree nut allergies do not always come together. Someone can react to walnut but not almond or hazelnut, or the other way round. The panel tests walnut, hazelnut and almond separately so a clinician can see which you are sensitised to. Coconut is tested too, though it isn't usually counted as a tree nut. Walnut is one of the tree nuts most often linked with allergy.

More about Walnut

Why do I get hay fever in February?

Early-year symptoms often point to tree pollens. Alder and hazel can release pollen from late winter, often well before birch. Grey alder is related to birch, so the two are frequently linked. This marker measures IgE to grey alder pollen. Comparing it with your other tree results helps explain when your symptoms start.

More about Grey Alder

Why test several grasses?

Grass pollen is the most common hay fever trigger in the UK. Perennial rye grass is one of the most widespread grasses in lawns, pasture and sports pitches. The Complete Panel tests five grasses, including Timothy, June grass, meadow fescue and orchard grass. Many grass pollens share proteins, so results are often positive together.

More about Perennial Rye Grass

Is rye flour the same as rye grass?

No. Rye flour comes from the cereal grain rye, eaten in bread and crispbreads and inhaled as flour dust in bakeries. Perennial rye grass is a lawn and pasture grass whose pollen causes hay fever. Cereal and grass pollen proteins can be related, so the two can both be positive, but they are tested separately.

More about Rye Flour

What is beech pollen?

Beech is a common UK tree that releases pollen in spring. It belongs to the same broad family as birch, oak, alder and hazel, and their pollens share some proteins. This marker measures IgE to beech pollen. A clinician can look at it with your other tree results to see which trees may be linked with your symptoms.

More about Beech

Why does the Complete Panel include moulds?

Mould spores are a common, often overlooked, cause of nasal and chest symptoms, especially in summer and autumn or in damp homes. The panel includes seven moulds and yeasts. Alternaria is an outdoor mould whose spores peak on warm, dry, windy days, and sensitisation to it has been linked with asthma.

Is this panel right for me?

Who this panel is built for.

Who this is for

  • Adults with complex or wide-ranging symptoms who may be sensitised to several allergens.
  • People whose trigger was not found on a smaller allergy panel.
  • Anyone who cannot have skin-prick testing and wants the widest IgE picture we offer.

Consider speaking to a clinician first

  • Anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Speak to your GP, who can refer you to an NHS allergy clinic.
  • People looking for coeliac disease, lactose intolerance or eosinophilic oesophagitis. These are not IgE allergies and this panel does not detect them.
  • People who only want to check one or two clear suspects. A smaller panel may be more useful and avoids incidental results.
  • Anyone under 18. Chxhealth tests are for adults.

This panel reports biomarker data. It does not diagnose any condition. Your results should be reviewed alongside the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.

Booking and results

Before and after your test.

How do I book my appointment?

After you order, you will receive an email with a link to book your appointment. You can choose the Chxhealth clinic in Lanchester, County Durham, or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics. View all clinic locations.

Do I need to pay for the phlebotomist?

No. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. There are no hidden costs at the appointment.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?

It isn’t required, but for tests that include glucose, lipids (cholesterol) or insulin, fasting is recommended for the best results. If you fast, drink water only. If you have diabetes or another medical condition, check with your GP before fasting. If you’d rather not fast, that’s fine: just let us know at your appointment.

Should I keep taking my medication before the test?

Yes, keep taking your medication as normal. Some medicines can affect particular markers; for example, blood thinners such as aspirin or warfarin can affect clotting tests. If you are unsure, contact us before booking.

Which laboratory analyses my sample?

Samples are analysed by Randox Laboratories, a UK clinical laboratory accredited by UKAS to ISO 15189.

How will I receive my results?

You will receive a plain-English PDF report by email. It shows each biomarker, your result, the reference range the laboratory uses and a short explanation of what each marker measures.

Can I share my results with my GP?

Yes. The PDF report is designed to be shared. You can email or print it for your GP or another healthcare professional.

Can this test diagnose a condition?

No. Chxhealth is a biomarker and genetic data provider; we do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. Your report shows where your results sit against the reference range, and anything outside the typical range is flagged so you can follow it up with a healthcare professional.

How is my health data handled?

Chxhealth complies with UK GDPR. Your personal data and results are stored in encrypted, UK-based systems and are never shared with third parties without your explicit consent. You can ask for your data to be exported or deleted at any time.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

If you cancel before your sample has been taken, we offer a full refund. Once your sample has been taken and sent to the laboratory, a refund is not possible because the lab work has been done. See our refund policy for full terms.

About this test

Questions about this test.

What does the Allergy Complete Panel test for?

It measures IgE to 63 allergens: 31 foods, 15 tree, grass and weed pollens, 10 animal allergens including both house dust mites, and 7 moulds and yeasts. Total IgE is also measured. It combines the full Food, Pollen and Grass, Pet and Animal Dander and Mould and Fungal panels with both house dust mites in one blood test.

How does the Complete Panel compare with the other allergy panels?

It is the largest. The First-Line Panel tests 8 allergens, covering roughly 80% of common sensitisations in primary care, and the Enhanced Panel 17, covering up to about 90%. The Complete Panel tests 63, but Randox notes that no panel can rule out every IgE allergy. The focused panels suit people with one clear area of concern.

Do I need to stop antihistamines before the Complete Panel?

No. Antihistamines affect skin-prick testing because they dampen the skin's reaction, but they do not interfere with an IgE blood test in the same way. That is one reason a blood test can suit people who cannot easily stop their antihistamines. Keep taking any medicine you have been prescribed unless the clinician who prescribed it tells you otherwise.

Is the Complete Panel better than a skin-prick test?

Neither is better in every case. A skin-prick test is done in clinic and read within minutes. A blood test measures IgE in a serum sample instead, so it can suit people who cannot stop antihistamines, have widespread eczema or are at higher risk of a severe reaction to testing. Both show sensitisation and both need reading alongside your symptoms. Testing many allergens at once by skin prick is impractical, which a blood panel avoids.

What does a positive result on the Complete Panel mean?

A positive result means your immune system has made IgE antibodies to that allergen. This is called sensitisation, and it is not the same as a confirmed allergy: with 63 allergens, it is common to see some positive results that cause no symptoms, especially between related pollens and plant foods. A negative result makes an IgE allergy less likely but does not completely rule one out. A clinician should interpret your results alongside your symptoms and history.

How is the Complete Panel different from the Chxhealth Food Sensitivity test?

They measure different antibodies. The Complete Panel looks for IgE, the antibody behind immediate allergic reactions, to 31 foods, along with pollens, animals and moulds. Food Sensitivity measures IgG to 207 foods. IgG is not IgE, and Food Sensitivity does not test for immediate allergy, so it cannot tell you whether you are allergic to a food. If you suspect a food allergy, an IgE test is the relevant one.

How long do Complete Panel results take?

Results take up to 5 working days. Your sample is a venous blood draw (4 serum tubes), taken at the Chxhealth clinic in Lanchester, County Durham, or at one of our 50+ UK partner clinics. There is no at-home kit for this test. Your report shows your IgE result for each allergen on the panel and your Total IgE.

What happens after I get my Complete Panel results?

Share your report with your GP or another clinician, who can read it alongside your symptoms. They may suggest further assessment or a referral to an NHS allergy clinic. Chxhealth does not diagnose, treat or prescribe. Please do not cut foods out of your diet or make big changes at home based on a result alone, without clinical advice.

Is this a subscription?
No. The price covers one test. If you would like to test again later, you simply book a new one.
