Common Allergy Symptoms

You may need to visit an allergy clinic in Dublin if you notice recurring signs such as:

  • Constant sneezing or nasal congestion.
  • Itchy, watery eyes.
  • Unexplained rashes or hives.
  • Chronic cough or wheezing.
  • Digestive issues like bloating, diarrhoea, or stomach cramps.
  • Migraines or fatigue linked to food sensitivity.

Ignoring these signs can affect your wellbeing long term. Early testing leads to faster relief.

What Is Allergy Testing?

Allergy testing is a diagnostic process that identifies how your body reacts to different substances. It helps uncover sensitivities to food, pollen, dust, pet dander, or other triggers. Knowing the cause of your allergy symptoms allows us to design an effective treatment and lifestyle plan.

Allergy Testing

At our allergy test clinic in Dublin, we offer a range of tests, including:

1. Skin allergy test

A simple method to identify common triggers.

2. Skin prick allergy test

A quick and accurate test for environmental and food allergens.

3. Allergy blood test

Ideal for patients who cannot undergo skin tests.

4. Food allergy testing

Helps identify allergic reactions to common foods.

5. Food intolerance testing

Detects non-allergic food sensitivities causing bloating, headaches, or fatigue.

For quality sensitivity check in Ireland, choose Dr Acu Herbs. We specialise in broader testing for multiple sensitivities and intolerances.

Food Intolerance vs Food Allergy

Many people confuse food intolerance testing with food allergy diagnosis. Here’s the difference:

  • Food allergy : It triggers the immune system. Symptoms may be severe and immediate.
  • Food intolerance : It involves digestion. Symptoms appear gradually and are often less severe but still uncomfortable.

Both require professional testing to confirm. At our allergy test clinic, we provide clarity so you can make informed choices about your diet.

Benefits of Professional Allergy Testing

Choosing Dr Acu Herbs for allergy testing in Ireland brings long-term benefits:

  • Relief from persistent symptoms
  • Clear answers about your triggers
  • Better control over food choices
  • Reduced risk of severe allergic reactions
  • Improved quality of life and energy levels

Our Allergy Testing Procedure

The allergy testing procedure is straightforward and safe. Depending on your needs, we may recommend one or more of the following methods:

Allergy Test

1. Allergy skin scratch test 

A tiny scratch introduces small amounts of allergens to the skin. If a reaction occurs, it confirms sensitivity.

2. Skin prick allergy test

A drop of allergen is placed on the skin, and the area is lightly pricked. Results appear within 15–20 minutes.

3. Blood tests for allergies 

A simple blood sample checks for antibodies related to allergies.

4. Food sensitivity testing in Dublin

This test detects intolerances that might not show up in traditional allergy tests.

Each method is tailored to your health history and current symptoms.

The duration depends on the type of test:

  • Skin prick allergy test – Results are available in around 20–30 minutes. 
  • Allergy blood test – 10–15 minutes for the sample, with results processed in a lab.
  • Food intolerance and sensitivity tests – Can take 45–60 minutes. It depends on the number of foods tested.

Most patients complete testing and get initial results within an hour.

No, the procedure is designed to be safe and comfortable:

  • A skin prick test may feel like a light scratch or tiny pinprick.
  • A blood test involves a small needle, similar to a standard blood draw.
  • Any redness or itching after a skin test usually fades within a few hours.

Children and adults alike tolerate the tests well.

Skin tests are highly reliable when performed by trained specialists. Accuracy improves when combined with:

  • Your medical history.
  • A review of your allergy symptoms.
  • Follow-up testing if needed (such as an allergy blood test).

At our clinic, we interpret results carefully and explain everything clearly.

I was in bits going there, and I could hardly walk with my lover back frozen like a cement bag. I got the needles and cups. Amazing. I returned to work in three days as I had another session a day before returning to work. Dr Lui knows what he is doing. Polite and gentle, You have to go there to get what I mean.

For months I was trying to beg for help from Irish doctors but all they would do is just give me antibiotics which were making me worse and worse. First time I went to Dr Acu he gave me herbal tea, herbal medicine and did acupuncture. Actually talked to me and was asking me many questions which I loved. Can you believe that in one week I was already 30-40% better!!! He really does look deeper into underlying issues. Will never return to Irish Doctors and keep going to Dr Acu. Wonderful and Brilliant

I recently had surgery on my right arm due to a fracture, along with a carpal tunnel release. I was struggling with intense nerve pain after the procedure, and nothing seemed to help until I started seeing Dr. Lui. His combination of acupuncture and herbal treatments has been life-changing for me. The shooting nerve pain I was experiencing significantly reduced, and I noticed improvements after just a few sessions. Dr. Lui is not only incredibly skilled, but he also takes the time to understand his patients' needs, offering compassionate and personalized care. I am truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking relief from pain or discomfort. His treatments have made a huge difference in my recovery process!

Dr. Lu is a very experienced doctor. After diagnosing me, he prescribed five packets of Chinese herbal medicine, combined with acupuncture treatment. Miraculously, my menstrual cycle has become regular and my menstrual pain has also alleviated a lot. Thank you very much to him.
