Order Basic Food Allergy Test PanelFood allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a normally harmless food protein, typically by producing immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against it. The Basic Food Allergy Testing Panel measures IgE reactivity to a defined set of common foods, giving a structured look at sensitization patterns that may explain symptoms after eating.
About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Carson
This panel uses a blood sample to screen for IgE antibodies directed at 15 widely consumed foods.
The test detects circulating IgE antibodies, the class of antibody most closely linked to immediate-type allergic reactions. Because it relies on a blood draw rather than a skin prick, the result reflects antibody levels in the bloodstream and does not require exposing the skin to food extracts.
Common foods included in this type of panel are milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts, along with other frequently eaten items. Elevated IgE to a specific food indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has recognized that protein, though sensitization and clinical allergy are not always the same thing.
Results are reported per food, so a person can see which items produced a response and which did not. A clinician interprets those values alongside symptom history, since a positive antibody result alone does not confirm that eating the food will cause a reaction.
