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 Profile measures IgE reactivity to a set of commonly encountered foods, helping to clarify whether a suspected reaction has an allergic basis.
About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Brea
The Basic Food Allergy Profile is a blood test that screens for IgE antibodies directed at 15 popular foods.
The panel covers items such as milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts, along with other frequently consumed foods. Each allergen is tested individually, so results indicate which specific foods, if any, are triggering an IgE response.
IgE testing is typically ordered when a person reports symptoms after eating, such as hives, itching, swelling, digestive upset, or respiratory complaints. Because reactions can vary in timing and severity, the results are interpreted alongside the clinical history rather than in isolation.
A positive result shows sensitization to a food, which does not always mean a true allergy will occur on every exposure. A negative result makes IgE-mediated allergy to that food less likely, though non-IgE reactions are not detected by this method.
