We have many food allergy tests for you to choose from in the Personalabs online store. Our allergy food profile test gives you a broad picture of several potential food allergies, but you can also find individual tests for everything from grains to legumes to shellfish. These tests give you the data you need to take care of your health and welfare, and they may even make the difference between life and death.
Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Buy your test and download the corresponding lab order. (You may not require a doctor’s authorization before you make the purchase; this will depend on the state where you live.)
Step 2: Use our website’s lab locator tool to find the closest facility to schedule your testing appointment. Our partnerships with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics give you more than 4,000 locations to choose from across the country.
Step 3: Bring the test order to your appointment and complete your blood draw.
Step 4: Find your results in your private Personalabs account within 2 to 10 business days after testing. (If you have a specific time frame in mind, contact us and we will work with your lab to deliver the results as soon as possible.)
