What is the purpose of this test?
The IgE Food Allergy Basic Test, Serum - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit is designed to help identify potential food allergies by measuring IgE antibodies in the blood. IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system when it reacts to certain foods, triggering allergic symptoms. Common food allergens such as nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, and seafood can cause mild to severe reactions, including sneezing, rashes, stomach discomfort, and even life-threatening anaphylaxis. By pinpointing specific food allergies, this test helps individuals understand which foods may be triggering their symptoms.
This blood-based test assesses IgE antibody levels for 26 common food allergens. The results can help healthcare providers develop personalized dietary recommendations to reduce allergic reactions and improve overall well-being. Unlike intolerance tests, which measure sensitivities that may cause digestive discomfort, this test focuses specifically on immune system responses that can lead to immediate or severe allergic reactions.
