Description

The IgE Food Allergy Advanced Test measures the body's immune response to a wide range of commonly consumed foods by detecting IgE (Immunoglobulin E) antibodies in the blood. This test helps identify true food allergies—immune system reactions that can cause symptoms such as hives, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory distress, or anaphylaxis.

Purpose of the Test:

  • Identify IgE-mediated food allergies
  • Pinpoint foods causing acute allergic reactions
  • Guide elimination diets and allergy management strategies
