About this episode
<p>Can home tests tell you if you have an allergy or a food intolerance?</p><p>We're back with a new batch of investigations and kicking off this series is one of our most popular requests: home allergy tests.

But do they work? </p><p>Greg is joined by consultant allergist Professor Adam Fox to do a deep-dive and separate out the science fact from the marketing fiction.</p><p>As ever this series we're looking for YOUR suggestions.
