FAQs
Collapsible content
What symptoms suggest I may need this test?
Symptoms like abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, hives, eczema, headaches, or respiratory discomfort after eating may indicate a food allergy.
What’s the difference between a food allergy and intolerance?
A food allergy involves an IgE immune response and can cause more immediate, sometimes severe reactions. Food intolerances usually involve non-immune pathways and have delayed, milder symptoms.
What does the test cover?
It screens for IgE reactivity to 38 foods including common allergens like dairy, nuts, shellfish, and eggs, as well as less frequent ones like celery and sesame.
Is this test suitable for children?
Yes, particularly if they’re exhibiting signs of allergic reactions to certain foods. Always consult with a clinician regarding suitability and interpretation.
What is total IgE and why is it included?
Total IgE gives a snapshot of overall allergic activity in the body. It helps contextualise the results and supports more accurate diagnosis when specific IgE levels are also measured.
