Order Basic Food Allergy Test PanelFood allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless food protein as a threat and releases immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against it. The Basic Food Allergy Screen measures IgE reactivity to a defined set of common foods, helping to clarify whether a specific food may be driving symptoms.
About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Chico
This panel uses a blood sample to assess IgE sensitization to 15 widely consumed foods.
The test detects food-specific IgE antibodies in the bloodstream. Elevated levels indicate that the immune system has produced antibodies against a particular food protein, though sensitization alone does not always correspond to clinical symptoms.
Common foods included in this type of screen are milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts, among others. Reactions to these foods range from mild oral itching to more significant responses, and the pattern of reactivity can help guide further evaluation.
Results are typically reported as quantitative IgE levels for each food, and a clinician interprets them alongside symptom history. A negative result generally makes IgE-mediated allergy to that food less likely, while a positive result may warrant additional assessment.
