Food and environmental allergy blood tests at Kauri, BTS Punnawithi, from 3,400 baht. Compare combined profiles and separately explained food-sensitivity panels.
Repeated sneezing, itchy eyes, hives or swelling after a particular exposure can suggest allergy. Record what happened, how soon symptoms began and whether the same trigger causes them again. Symptoms around dust, pets or outdoor exposure suggest a different testing direction from symptoms after a particular food. That pattern helps choose a relevant panel.
Not necessarily. Food intolerance can cause bloating, abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea without an IgE allergic response; lactose intolerance is one example. Immediate itching, hives or swelling after food raises a different question. The timing, amount eaten and repeatability help guide assessment. Neither a broad allergy panel nor an IgG panel is a universal explanation for digestive symptoms.
A blood test measures antibodies in a sample taken from your arm; a skin-prick test observes a skin response to selected allergens. Both need interpretation alongside your history. Blood testing can be useful when skin testing is unsuitable. Kauri's options listed here are blood tests; if another method would clarify your symptoms, the physician can discuss specialist assessment.
A positive specific IgE result means sensitization, not automatically a clinically important allergy. We compare it with what happens when you encounter that food or substance. The antibody level does not reliably predict the severity of a future reaction. Avoid removing multiple foods solely because a report flags them; a tailored plan protects both symptom control and nutrition.
First check whether the suspected trigger was actually included. A panel tests named substances, not every possible allergy. Persistent symptoms may call for a more targeted allergy assessment or investigation of another cause. Bring your symptom record to the results discussion so the next step follows your experience, not just a positive or negative label.
Choose the Food Allergy Blood Test for a food-related question, or the Environmental Allergy Blood Test for recurring symptoms linked to airborne exposure. A combined profile may suit concerns involving both. The two combined profiles are different laboratory selections, not simply basic versus better. Ask us to check their exact allergen lists against your suspected triggers before collection.
Start with the symptoms you want to investigate. Each option below is a blood test; the technical laboratory name is available if you need it.
These panels measure IgG or IgG4 antibodies to specific foods. The number in the panel name refers to how many foods are tested, not how many sensitivities you have. IgG antibodies to foods are common and often reflect regular exposure to those foods, so results are not used on their own to diagnose food allergy or intolerance. Your clinician will review your report alongside your symptoms and history before recommending any dietary changes.
Children's allergy testing and the laboratory's AEC profile are also available. We check the exact panel against the patient's age, symptoms and suspected triggers.

Patient questions
Start with your symptoms: reactions after food point toward a food allergy assessment, while recurring nasal or eye symptoms around environmental exposures may point toward inhaled allergens. If both are relevant, we can compare the combined profiles and their included allergens with you.
Food Allergy Blood Testing and Environmental Allergy Blood Testing each cost 3,400 baht. The combined Thailand Profile costs 3,880 baht, and the other combined food and inhalation profile costs 5,400 baht.
IgE is an antibody involved in allergic reactions. Specific IgE testing looks for responses to particular allergens. A positive result shows sensitization; your symptoms and exposure history establish whether that result represents a clinical allergy.
It means airborne or environmental allergens, rather than a breathing test. Examples of environmental triggers include house-dust mites, pollen, mould and animal dander. The exact substances tested depend on your selected panel.
They identify the sizes of the laboratory's IgG or IgG4 panels. A larger number does not mean more allergies or a more accurate diagnosis. These panels measure different antibodies from specific IgE allergy tests.
Specific IgE blood testing generally does not require fasting. Tell us about your medicines and any other blood tests booked at the same visit; we will confirm preparation. Do not stop prescribed medicine without advice.
Bloating and other digestive symptoms can have several causes. An IgE allergy panel or an IgG food panel is not a general test for food intolerance. Kauri can review the symptom pattern and discuss a targeted assessment rather than treating a panel result as a diagnosis.
