Find out if a food allergy is what’s triggering your symptoms
Our Food Allergy Test measures your immune response to some of the most common food allergy triggers including lactose, shellfish and nuts. This test measures Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are released by the immune system in response to allergens. Along with your food allergy symptoms and history, this food allergy test will give you a better understanding of your body's reaction to common foods to help guide you to better dietary choices.
Note: This test is not intended for people who have had a serious allergic reaction to the foods listed on this panel. Those who had serious allergic reactions to certain foods should contact a health care provider or an allergist for further evaluation immediately.
Having measurable IgE for a particular allergen does not guarantee that you will have an allergic reaction when exposed to it. In general, higher IgE levels are associated with a greater chance of having a true allergy but do not predict how severe your allergic symptoms could be.¹
IgE testing is not considered sufficient to diagnose an allergy on its own.² Results from this test should be interpreted in the context of your medical history with a health care provider or an allergist. Results should be shared and discussed with a healthcare professional before making a diagnosis or before removing certain foods from your diet.
