Alpha-gal First Initiative

Unexplained reactions after meals?

Stomach flares, hives, or "mystery" night-time reactions can follow an Alpha-gal pattern, especially in tick-heavy parts of the Southeast and Appalachian regions.

Early or delayed symptoms

Some people feel stomach symptoms in 20–30 minutes, others only hours later.

Night-time flares

Hives or itching that wake you up several hours after dinner.

Tick-heavy regions

Lone Star and related ticks are common in parts of VA, TN, and the Southeast.

Virginia (VA)Tennessee (TN)Many people never notice the tick that started this.

Quick at-home panel measuring Alpha-gal IgE plus Total IgE, with clinician-guided review in eligible states.

Alpha-gal testing, food and environmental tools

See patterns in Alpha-gal, food reactions, and environmental flares.

Allerim is starting with a focused Alpha-gal programincluding an at-home test in select statesand simple tools to help you see when food and environmental triggers, testing panels, or specialist care may be worth a closer look. Whether you have vague inflammation or food issues and don\'t know why, have heard about Alpha-gal and want to check it out, or already live with allergies, we help you see patterns worth bringing to your clinician.

These tools do not replace emergency care or medical advice. Testing is available only in eligible states and should be interpreted with a clinician.

Alpha-gal

Delayed reactions after mammal foods

Tick-linked allergy that can cause night-time hives, stomach flares, or other symptoms hours after eating beef, pork, or lamb.

Food reactions

Meals that leave you with flares

Tools to map GI, skin, brain fog, and fatigue symptoms around meals and suspected foodsincluding when patterns point toward broader food panels, sensitivities, or classic allergies. Alpha-gal is one important meat- and tick-linked pattern inside this broader food space, so we highlight it first.

Environment & asthma

Seasons, air quality, and indoor spaces

See how pollen seasons, indoor triggers, and air quality days line up with nose, eye, skin, and breathing symptoms.

Could your symptoms be Alpha-gal?

Many people with Alpha-gal syndrome describe patterns that feel random at first. Some notice early symptoms within 20–30 minutes, others only hours later at night. A few common patterns:

  • Night-time hives or itching after an evening meal.
  • Stomach pain, nausea, or diarrhea hours after eating red meat.
  • New reactions that started after one or more tick bites.

View results & next steps

See Alpha-gal IgE and Total IgE in your portal, with options for follow-up.

Testing is not a diagnosis on its own. Results should always be interpreted with a clinician who understands your full history.

Monitoring & longitudinal tracking

Coming soon

Allerim monitoring is on the way

We are building tools to track Alpha-gal, food reactions, and environmental/asthma symptoms over time, alongside labs and air quality data, paired with clinician visits so you are not left interpreting results alone.

Monitoring features are not yet available. For now, you can use the available testing and self-checks to start mapping your story and prepare for a deeper review with your care team.

  • Alpha-gal symptom and exposure tracking
  • Food reaction journaling with pattern summaries
  • Environmental triggers tied to pollen and air quality

Create a free Allerim account today to be among the first to access monitoring when it launches.
