Order Basic Food Allergy Test PanelA food allergy occurs 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 Test Panel measures IgE reactivity to a defined set of common foods, helping to clarify whether a specific food may be involved in symptoms.
About Basic Food Allergy Test Panel in Ann Arbor
The Basic Food Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that screens for IgE antibodies directed at frequently encountered foods.
The panel evaluates IgE responses to foods such as milk, wheat, shrimp, peanuts, egg whites, soy, and walnuts. These items represent some of the most common triggers of food-related allergic reactions in both children and adults.
IgE antibodies bind to specific food proteins and, upon re-exposure, can trigger the release of histamine and other mediators from immune cells. This mechanism underlies symptoms that may include hives, itching, swelling, gastrointestinal distress, or respiratory changes.
Results are reported as quantitative or semi-quantitative levels for each food tested. A positive result indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has produced IgE against that food; it does not by itself confirm that eating the food will cause a clinical reaction. Interpretation should always be made alongside a medical history and, when appropriate, additional evaluation by a qualified clinician.
