Allergy & Intolerance
20 markers in this category
Anti-TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase)
Anti-TTG screens for coeliac disease, which can develop at any age — including later in life. Older adults with unexplained nutrient deficiencies, anaemia, or osteoporosis may benefit from coeliac screening as part of a comprehensive health assessment.
DAO (Diamine Oxidase)
DAO activity may naturally decline with age, potentially making older adults more susceptible to histamine-related symptoms after eating certain foods. Testing DAO as part of a health assessment can help explain previously unexplained digestive complaints.
Endomysium IgA
Endomysium IgA helps confirm coeliac disease, which can present atypically in older adults with symptoms such as unexplained anaemia, osteoporosis, or fatigue rather than classic digestive complaints.
Food Allergy Panel
The Food Allergy Panel screens for IgE-mediated food allergies. For older adults, new food sensitivities can develop with age-related immune changes, and identifying allergens supports dietary safety and quality of life.
Food Mix Panel (fx77)
The Food Mix Panel (fx77) provides efficient first-line screening for food allergies. For older adults, changes in the immune system may lead to new food sensitivities, making screening a practical part of health maintenance.
Food Screening Panel (fx5)
The Food Screening Panel (fx5) tests for six common food allergens. For older adults, immune changes may alter allergy profiles, making periodic screening a practical component of health maintenance.
Gliadin IgA
Gliadin IgA supports coeliac disease screening and can help identify late-onset gluten sensitivity in older adults presenting with unexplained digestive symptoms or nutrient deficiencies.
Grass Pollen Panel (gx3)
The Grass Pollen Panel (gx3) identifies grass pollen sensitisation. Allergy symptoms can change with age, and some older adults develop new seasonal allergies or find existing ones worsen.
Herb Pollen Panel (wx3)
The Herb Pollen Panel (wx3) identifies weed pollen sensitisation. Older adults may notice changes in allergy patterns and new sensitivities can develop at any age.
Histamine
Histamine blood testing assesses mast cell activity and can help explain allergic-type symptoms. For older adults, understanding histamine metabolism supports targeted symptom management.
Inhalation Allergy Panel
The Inhalation Allergy Panel provides comprehensive airborne allergen screening. For older adults, allergy symptoms can overlap with other respiratory conditions, making accurate allergen identification important.
Lactase Genotyping
Lactase Genotyping reveals your genetic capacity to digest lactose. Many older adults experience increasing dairy intolerance, and this test clarifies whether genetics plays a role.
Leptin
Leptin testing provides insight into appetite regulation. For older adults, understanding leptin function supports weight management during age-related metabolic changes.
Mold Panel (mx1)
The Mold Panel (mx1) screens for indoor mould allergies. Older adults spending more time indoors may have greater exposure, making screening important for respiratory health.
Nut Panel (fx1)
The Nut Panel (fx1) screens for nut and peanut allergies. Allergy profiles can change with age, and awareness of nut sensitivities supports dietary safety.
Nut Panel 2 (fx22)
The Nut Panel 2 (fx22) extends nut allergy screening to walnut, cashew, pistachio, pecan, and macadamia for comprehensive assessment.
Total IgA
Total IgA assesses mucosal immune function and validates coeliac tests. For older adults, IgA levels provide insight into immune competence.
Tree Pollen Panel (tx9)
The Tree Pollen Panel (tx9) identifies spring pollen allergies. For older adults, specific allergen identification supports targeted treatment.
Tryptase
Tryptase testing assesses mast cell activity. For older adults, establishing a baseline is important as mast cell disorders can mimic other conditions.
Zonulin
Zonulin testing assesses intestinal barrier function. For older adults, gut barrier integrity may decline with age, and monitoring supports digestive health management.
