Allergy & Intolerance
20 markers in this category
Anti-TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase)
According to Thuisarts, in coeliac disease the immune system attacks healthy gut cells, and according to the NVKC it makes antibodies against tissue transglutaminase, a protein in the gut wall: anti-tTG.
DAO (Diamine Oxidase)
DAO activity can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations, and some women notice that histamine-related symptoms worsen around menstruation or during perimenopause.
Endomysium IgA
Endomysium IgA is a highly specific confirmatory test for coeliac disease.
Food Allergy Panel
The Food Allergy Panel provides comprehensive IgE screening for common food allergens.
Food Mix Panel (fx77)
IgE are allergy antibodies that the body makes in an allergy against a harmless substance such as pollen or a food, and food mix fx77 measures those antibodies against five foods at once; according to the manufacturer Thermo Fisher, these are sesame seed, hazelnut, tomato, kiwi and cashew.
Food Screening Panel (fx5)
According to MedlinePlus, allergens are harmless substances, such as pollen and peanuts, that may cause an allergic reaction in some people; the immune system may make IgE antibodies against them, and that IgE against foods is what a food screening measures.
Gliadin IgA
Gliadin IgA is part of coeliac disease screening. For women, undiagnosed coeliac disease may contribute to iron deficiency, recurrent miscarriage, and reduced bone density — making early detection valuable.
Grass Pollen Panel (gx3)
The Grass Pollen Panel (gx3) helps identify grass pollen allergy. For women, hormonal fluctuations can influence the severity of allergic symptoms, and allergy management is particularly important during pregnancy.
Herb Pollen Panel (wx3)
The Herb Pollen Panel (wx3) screens for weed pollen sensitisation.
Histamine
A histamine blood test shows how much histamine is in your blood. Histamine is the substance your body releases during an allergic reaction, mainly from mast cells and basophils.
Inhalation Allergy Panel
The Inhalation Allergy Panel identifies airborne allergen sensitivities. For women, managing allergies is especially important during pregnancy when treatment options may be limited.
Lactase Genotyping
Lactase Genotyping determines your genetic ability to digest lactose. For women, understanding lactose tolerance is important for calcium intake planning during pregnancy and for bone health.
Leptin
Leptin testing measures the appetite-regulating hormone. For women, leptin interacts with reproductive hormones and may be relevant to menstrual regularity, fertility, and weight management.
Mold Panel (mx1)
The Mold Panel (mx1) identifies mould sensitisation. For women, mould allergy management is important during pregnancy when respiratory health impacts maternal wellbeing.
Nut Panel (fx1)
The Nut Panel (fx1) screens for nut and peanut sensitisation. For women, knowing nut allergy status is important for pregnancy nutrition and family meal planning.
Nut Panel 2 (fx22)
The Nut Panel 2 (fx22) provides extended tree nut screening. For women, comprehensive allergy identification supports safe nutrition during pregnancy.
Total IgA
IgA is a kind of antibody, a protein of the immune system that according to the NVKC clears away foreign substances and fights infections, and according to the NVKC IgA is found mainly in saliva, breast milk, the stomach and the gut.
Tree Pollen Panel (tx9)
The Tree Pollen Panel (tx9) screens for spring pollen allergies. For women, allergy management during pregnancy requires careful medication choices.
Tryptase
Tryptase measures mast cell activity. For women with severe allergy history, a baseline is important especially when planning pregnancy.
Zonulin
Zonulin provides insight into gut barrier health. For women, gut permeability may be influenced by hormonal fluctuations and is linked to autoimmune conditions affecting women disproportionately.
