Ordering the IgE Food Allergy Advanced Test (93) | Great Plains
This test helps identify specific food allergies by measuring IgE antibodies to 93 different foods, which can help pinpoint triggers for symptoms like rashes, digestive upset, or breathing issues. Interestingly, some people may have food allergies that do not cause immediate symptoms, making it harder to connect certain foods to ongoing problems.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Find out which foods are causing allergic reactions
- Reduce symptoms like hives, swelling, or stomach pain by avoiding certain foods
- Support your doctor in creating a targeted dietary plan
- Track changes in your immune response over time
- Identify hidden food allergies that may not cause obvious symptoms
People who have ongoing symptoms like skin rashes, stomach pain, or frequent sneezing after eating may benefit from this test. For example, someone who feels tired and bloated after meals but cannot figure out which food is causing the problem may find this test helpful.
Ordering may also be helpful if you:
- Have eczema that flares up after eating certain foods
- Experience headaches or sinus congestion after meals
- Notice coughing or a runny nose after eating
- Have a family history of food allergies or asthma
- Are curious if unexplained fatigue could be linked to hidden food allergies
Pinpointing food allergies can help you avoid foods that trigger symptoms, which may lead to fewer allergic reactions and less discomfort. Delaying this test could mean continued symptoms and more difficulty finding the foods that are causing problems.
Food Allergy and Sensitivity Screening for Dietary Triggers
This screening checks for immune reactions to a wide range of foods, helping you and your doctor make informed choices about what to eat.
