Anyone had private allergy testing?

(I'm sure other places do it, maybe contact your private health provider to see who they recommend. I'd not necessarily trust companies found on the internet when it comes to my health.)
So far I can find no link - none were immediately after eating. My closest suspicion is it might be linked to heat as I enjoy a nice hot bath at night and all cases have been fairly late in the evening. But as with "exercise induced allergy" it seems a bit flimsy - they are real but rare.
Unexplained reactions are quite common as others have pointed out but I have never had even a slight reaction to anything my entire life until the last year.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Thanks. It actually looks quite similar in scope and price to Google results but yes while allergies are clearly real there has a been a huge rise in companies trying to profit from it, so finding a legitimate company is important.

A few years ago I developed a rash on my arms due to The WifeTM using a different fabric conditioner. More recently I get a sense of my throat constricting and rash on my neck from certain sparkling wines.
Hot bath will cause vasodilation in the extremities, which could then have a knock-on effect on vital organs.
...could also be that you're getting old.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
