Food allergies and food intolerances can be confusing.

You may be experiencing symptoms after eating certain foods, but figuring out exactly what's causing them isn't always straightforward.

At Perth Allergy Clinic, we're here to help guide you through the process. We offer a range of assessment and functional testing options for food allergies, food intolerances, and gut health, helping to provide valuable insights into factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Many of our clients also choose gut microbiome testing to gain a deeper understanding of their digestive health and overall wellbeing.

By uncovering the underlying drivers of symptoms, we can help develop a personalised plan so you can feel your best, eat with confidence, and get back to enjoying life.

For individuals requiring an egg-free diet due to allergy or intolerance, identifying suitable alternatives is an important part of maintaining both nutritional adequacy and confidence in food preparation.

At Perth Allergy Clinic, our practitioners provide evidence-based dietary support and practical strategies to help make this transition more manageable. Common egg alternatives that can be incorporated into cooking and baking include:

• Flax egg - This one gets the vote for best all-rounder. It can be used in pan frying or baking, sweet or savoury! Simply mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 15 minutes before using.

• Chia seeds - Similar to flax, ground chia works well for most dishes. Add in 1 teaspoon of ground chia to 3 teaspoons of water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before using.

• Apple purée - You can swap out 1 egg for a ¼ cup of apple puree. To make this yourself, just cook diced apple in water until soft before draining and mashing.

• Sweet potato or pumpkin purée - A ¼ of a cup of these veggies works well as an egg substitute in savoury dishes.

• Yoghurt - A ¼ of a cup of yogurt is a great option in muffins, cakes and pancakes. Keep in mind that yogurt is a dairy allergen so only use if you have safely introduced dairy.

Individualised guidance can help ensure dietary changes remain balanced, practical, and sustainable for everyday living.

Suspect that you're reacting to foods such as egg? We offer both allergy and intolerance testing to help you find answers. You can book online, or call our reception team who can answers any questions and help you with your booking.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone finally get answers — and start feeling like themselves again.

Kathryn came to Perth Allergy Clinic struggling with ongoing digestive pain, food reactions, anxiety around symptoms, and feeling unheard. Through Jo Doran’s thorough and personalised approach, underlying issues were identified, appropriate testing was recommended, and a tailored treatment plan was created to support her recovery.

Just six weeks later, Kathryn describes the change as “unimaginable.”

At Perth Allergy Clinic, we treat every client as a unique individual and take the time to look at the complete picture of health, symptoms and underlying imbalance. Whether someone comes to us with environmental allergies, food allergy symptoms, digestive complaints, food intolerance symptoms, skin issues or complex chronic health concerns — there is often far more going on beneath the surface than first meets the eye.

From significant symptom relief and improved gut health, to identifying nutrient deficiencies and supporting further investigation into underlying health concerns, this is why we believe in personalised, evidence-based care that looks beyond simply managing symptoms.

Is it a winter cold… or could it actually be allergies?

Sneezing, congestion, fatigue and a runny nose can all look very similar — which is why allergies are often mistaken for recurring colds this time of year.

Here’s a simple way to tell the difference...

Colds are caused by viruses and usually improve within 1–2 weeks. They may also come with fever, body aches or sore throat.

Allergies are an immune response to triggers like dust mites, mould, pollen or pet dander — and symptoms can last for weeks or keep returning.

Some common signs it may be allergies:
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Sneezing fits
• Symptoms worse indoors or overnight
• Ongoing congestion that doesn’t fully go away
• Symptoms that appear every winter or season change

During winter, indoor allergens can become more noticeable because homes stay closed up, with less airflow and more time spent indoors.

The good news? You don’t have to just “put up with it.”

If you’re dealing with persistent symptoms, the team at Perth Allergy Clinic is here to help you get to the root cause and provide education and treatment to help you feel better.

Allergies, eczema, inflammation, gut and immune health can all be influenced by nutrient deficiencies — including low vitamin D levels. Because vitamin D plays an important role in immune regulation and skin health, our practitioners may prescribe vitamin D as part of your personalised treatment plan.

As everyone’s needs are different, we don’t recommend self-prescribing supplements without a consultation and appropriate testing if indicated.

Here’s a simple tip for naturally supporting healthy vitamin D levels:

Expose your skin to 10–15 minutes of midday sunlight daily (without sunscreen).

A helpful guide is to check your shadow:

• If your shadow is shorter than you, you are synthesising vitamin D
• If your shadow is taller than you, you are not synthesising vitamin D

If you burn easily, gradually build up your sun exposure over time to support the development of a natural “solar callus.”

Our practitioners may provide you with low histamine recipes to support allergy management in the short term.

You immune system initiates the release of histamine in response to a perceived threat e.g. an allergen.

Histamine is required by the body, however histamine imbalance or intolerance can lead to inflammation and symptoms such as rash, hives, headache, congestion, sore eyes, runny nose and digestive discomforts.

Low histamine foods focus on fresh, minimally processed ingredients and avoiding common high histamine triggers—helping to reduce your overall histamine load and support symptom management. Think simple, nourishing meals that are easy to prepare and still full of flavour.

Enjoy delicious food while supporting your body and getting the results you want.

Finding the right support when you’re dealing with allergies or intolerances can feel overwhelming — especially when symptoms are unclear and cause unknown. In clinic our focus is on providing clarity, direction, and personalised care.

No referral required: accessing support shouldn’t be complicated. You can book directly with us — no referral needed — making it easier to take the first step toward understanding your health.

We have the team: our team brings together a range of expertise, allowing us to look at your health from multiple angles.

You never used to have allergies… and now suddenly you do?

It can feel confusing (and honestly a bit frustrating) when your body starts reacting to things that never bothered you before. For many people, there isn’t just one simple cause — it can be a mix of factors like hormonal shifts, changes in gut health, or how your body is processing and clearing toxins.

We often see this happen after significant changes in the body or lifestyle. Over time, this can influence the gut microbiome, immune responses, and even how sensitive you become to certain foods or environmental triggers.

At Perth Allergy Clinic, your initial appointment is typically a full hour — giving us the time to do a thorough investigation into your health history, symptoms, and potential triggers. Because no two people are the same, your treatment plan is always tailored specifically to you.

We’re here to help you uncover the “why” behind your symptoms and create a clear path forward.

If your body has changed and you’re not sure why, it might be time to get some answers. Jump online to book your appointment or call our friendly reception team on 0452 620 561.
