Order Basic Food Allergy Test PanelFood allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless food protein as a threat and produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against it. The Basic Food Allergy Test Panel measures IgE antibodies to 15 commonly consumed foods, including milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts. This blood test can help identify sensitization to specific foods, though results must be interpreted alongside clinical history.
About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Los Banos
The Basic Food Allergy Test Panel is a targeted IgE blood test that screens for allergic sensitization to 15 popular foods.
The panel measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood. When the immune system is sensitized to a food, it produces IgE antibodies that bind to that food's proteins. The test reports the level of IgE antibodies for each food, which can indicate the likelihood of an allergy.
The panel includes milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts. These foods are among the most common triggers of food allergies and are responsible for a significant proportion of allergic reactions.
Elevated IgE levels suggest sensitization, but a diagnosis of food allergy requires correlation with clinical symptoms. Some individuals may have elevated IgE without experiencing allergic reactions, while others may react to foods even with low IgE levels. Therefore, results should be evaluated by a healthcare provider in the context of the patient's history.
