Portland Urgent Care provides testing for food allergy sufferers. Food allergy testing is done by a blood draw through Meridian Valley Labs. Allergic reactions range from mild to severe causing itchy eyes, hives, welts on skin and swelling. If you are interested in food allergy testing, contact us today.

“I suffered from severe allergies for YEARS and was tired of taking medication every day. Allergy immunotherapy was life changing for me. I have my life back and my insurance paid for it.”
"After almost a full year of multiple doctor visits around town, just the allergy test consultation was exceptional compared to previous appointments."
"Oh,my! After just a few visits I can breath so much better, my headaches are gone and I don't have a constant sore throat. I wish I would have found this solution years ago. I can't wait to tell all my friends!"
"They made the entire process so easy! They were very attentive to my concerns and provided a thoughtful solution to my allergies. I had been made accustom to being dismissed by doctors in the past- so I was grateful for their patience and mindfulness."
"Portland Urgent Care helped me when no one else could. They were able to help me get a specific test with results the same day, that I needed the day of. They did this without me having to go through all the run around logistics that other places put you through."
"Very good experience. I felt at ease at this visit. I come once a week for my allergy shot. The entire staff is competent and caring. All staff is masked and the facility is hygienically clean. I highly recommend them and look forward to my next appointment."
TESTING IS SIMPLE AND PAINLESS

Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms or even a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Diagnose your Allergy
To diagnose your food allergies, we draw a blood sample to measure food-specific IgG4 antibodies using the ELISA method for the assessment of delayed food allergies. IgG4 stands as the most scarcely found subclass of IgG within the bloodstream, comprising less than 5% of the overall IgG levels under standard physiological circumstances. Nonetheless, in the event of prolonged exposure to allergens, there is a significant surge in IgG4 concentrations, leading to a robust IgG4-mediated response. Unlike its counterparts, IgG4 possesses an exceptionally high attraction towards allergens. Consequently, for the evaluation of long-term food sensitivities, IgG4 is more suitable than the aggregate IgG measurement.
SEE YOURSELF ALLERGY FREE!
Before starting treatment, you and your local Portland allergist identify trigger factors for allergy symptoms by performing thorough testing.
