I was living in Jeddah 20 years back and I have returned again few months back. Jeddah has changed a lot!  I would like to know where is a good place to get "food allergy test" done? And what would be an approximate cost?
Thank you.

I suggest you use Google. Type on  'food allergy testing clinics in Jeddah' and see what comes up. I did a quick search and found some.

Thanks everyone. I did check and found one called Tamkin Al Seha under Dr Idrees Clinic at the cross section of Prince Sultan St. and Sari St.. They do 220+ food tolerance test with blood sample which they send to a Lab in France. Dr. Mohammed Ramadan was excellent. He took his time to explain everything in detail and was very helpful. And the Filipino nurse Rose was excellent at taking the blood. I bruise very easily during blood extraction but she was so gentle that it, for the first time did not give me any bruise. The result takes 7-10 days. So, now I am waiting for the result.

What was the damage ? I believe I'm allergic to some food but can't seem to figure it out, onion is one of them...I think...will go and check it out.

I would suggest Dr Mohammed Ramadan at Tamkin al Seha. They were really good and friendly plus helpful.

I will, of course, thanks for the recommendation.

Let me reiterate my question, what was the cost ? if you don't mind asking.

Merci

The cost is half than usual if you use the Cabone deal.

This was posted on the blog after I had my blood extracted. Don't know if it is still valid or not. But Tell Dr. Ramadan that you have been referred by me and he will surely give a good discount.

Just chatted with Dr. Ramadan on WhatsApp. He said he can make it 50% discount until next week ONLY. As he will have to close the cabone account and he will list you as a cabone client. You can chat with him on WhatsApp as well. His number is: 0560016543. And the cost will be SR1550. The usual cost is SR3100. Some hospitals charge SR3300-SR3900 for exactly the same procedure. So, do get in touch with him and if you need it done then I would advice you to get it done by next week, no later. Because, that is an extremely good price he is offering.
