About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Merced
This panel uses a blood sample to assess immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity to 15 popular foods, including milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts.
IgE is an antibody produced by the immune system that can be associated with allergic responses. A blood test measures the level of food-specific IgE in the sample, which can help a clinician evaluate whether a person is sensitized to a particular food.
The panel covers a range of foods from several categories, such as dairy, grains, shellfish, legumes, tree nuts, and eggs. Results are reported for each food included in the panel, giving a broad view of reactivity across these common items.
This test is not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis. A healthcare professional interprets IgE results alongside a person's history and symptoms, and may recommend additional evaluation or a supervised oral food challenge when appropriate.
