Test yourself.nu Allergy check milk test

Think you're allergic to (cow's) milk? Then the current allergy tests on the market are useless. They only test for allergies, not for milk allergies.

With the new Allergy-Check® - MILK test you can now easily test this yourself at home for the first time.

The result is 98% consistent with the gold standard of a laboratory blood test. The test uses a unique, patented system to detect a milk allergy.

Cow's milk allergy?
A second official term for cow's milk allergy is "cow's milk protein allergy." A cow's milk allergy is different from lactose intolerance. These two conditions are often confused. Lactose-intolerant patients lack the enzyme lactase, which prevents lactose from being broken down and absorbed by the body. This is not an allergy. A cow's milk allergy does involve an allergic reaction to a protein in cow's milk. Since milk contains many different proteins, several can cause an allergy. It is impossible to predict which proteins will trigger the allergy. An allergy to (cow's) milk can be determined with the Allergy-Check® - Milk test.

In babies, cow's milk allergy is the most common form of allergy. Lactose intolerance often manifests later in life, and whether you develop it is genetically determined.

Abdominal pain and rash can result from either lactose intolerance or a cow's milk allergy. Babies can even experience both sensitivities simultaneously. However, milk cannot simply be eliminated from an infant's diet because, after breastfeeding, it is the most important source of protein and other nutrients.

To prevent symptoms of cow's milk allergy, all cow's milk should be eliminated from the diet. This includes all dairy products made from cow's milk. In many cases, goat's or sheep's milk will not cause a reaction, but in some cases it can (some proteins are present in both cow's and goat's milk). Goat's milk allergy is not common.

Yogurt, cottage cheese, and similar products are also not recommended, as almost all the proteins are still present and intact, so allergic reactions can occur. However, people with lactose intolerance can use these products.
Allergy Check® can be used to detect an allergy in just 30 minutes.

Self-test for milk allergy

Directions for use
1. Use the lancet provided to puncture.
Twist the lancet guard and press the lancet with the white tip firmly against your finger until it clicks.

2. Use the provided blood collection tube to collect blood
Massage your finger until a drop of blood forms. Hold the tube horizontally in the drop. The tube will fill automatically. Fill the tube to the marked mark.

3. Drop the blood into the small opening of the test
Hold the end of the tube in the small opening of the test tube (blood drop symbol). The blood will automatically be drawn into the test.

4. Add the developing fluid and wait 15 minutes.
Unscrew the blue cap from the developer fluid and add it to the test via the large opening.

5. Activate the test by pulling out the blue slide completely
After 15 minutes, the test needs to be activated. Pull the blue slider all the way out. The fluid will then flow through the test (indicated by the reddish color).


6. After 15 minutes the test can be assessed
One or more lines will appear on the Allergy-Check® test. Use the enclosed leaflet to assess the result. With a high IgE concentration, a line may appear near the square within 15 minutes. However, if a faint line appears (square and triangle), it is recommended to leave the test for another 30 minutes after removing the blue slider before assessing the result.
