An allergy is a congenital or acquired change in the immune system‘s response pattern to foreign, harmless substances. These substances … Hyposensitization Treatment
The fructose H2 breath test (H2 breath test; H2 exhalation breath test; hydrogen breath test; hydrogen exhalation test) is a diagnostic test method for detecting fructose malabsorption, which is the impaired absorption of fructose (fruit sugar) from the small intestine. Indications (areas of application) Diarrhea (diarrhea), which so far has an unclear cause. Fructose malabsorption … Fructose H2 Breath Test
The lactose H2 breath test (H2 breath test; H2 exhalation breath test; hydrogen breath test; hydrogen exhalation test) is a diagnostic test method for detecting lactose malabsorption, which is the impaired absorption of lactose (milk sugar) from the small intestine. Indications (areas of application) Diarrhea (diarrhea), which so far has an unclear cause. Lactose malabsorption … Lactose H2 Breath Test
Select 181 provides evidence of IgG-mediated food intolerances of allergy type III. Whether strawberries, dairy products, peppers, soy, shrimp, salmon, tuna, hazelnut, wheat, or beans, etc., almost any food – if predisposed – can trigger delayed IgG antibody immune reactions and lead to significant symptoms. The Select 181 test provides patients with chronic inflammatory complaints … Select 181 Test
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics, and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification. Rhinoscopy (nasal endoscopy). Rhinoendoscopy (nasal endoscopy), possibly with biopsy/tissue removal. Sonography (ultrasound examination) of the paranasal sinuses – if sinusitis (sinusitis) is suspected. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses … Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Diagnostic Tests
Surgical intervention for allergic rhinitis may be indicated if there is additional obstruction (obstruction of the airway) due to anatomic variations of the inner and outer nose or refractory conchal hyperplasia. Furthermore, secondary complications, such as sinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal sinuses) or otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear), may require minimally invasive surgical … Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Surgical Therapy
To prevent allergic rhinitis (hay fever), attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors. Behavioral risk factors Diet Micronutrient deficiency (vital substances) – see Prevention with micronutrients. Repeated exposure to the triggering allergens (e.g. chlorinated water in swimming pools) Chlorinated water in swimming pools increases the risk of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and may … Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Prevention

The triggers are pollen or spores of extramural (“located in the organ wall”) fungi. The immune system overreacts to inhaled allergens – substances that trigger allergies – … Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Causes
