If you are not comfortable in extracting blood yourself then this test gives you the option to have your blood drawn at one of our clinical location. Food allergies are caused by your immune system incorrectly identifying some of the proteins in food as harmful.
A blood test can measure your immune system's response to particular foods by assessing the allergy-related antibody known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). For this test, a blood sample taken in your doctor's office is sent to a medical laboratory where different foods can be tested.
How the Immune System Works
The body's immune system keeps you healthy by fighting off infections and other dangers to good health. A food allergy reaction occurs when your immune system overreacts to a food or a substance in a food, identifying it as a danger and triggering a protective response.
Hereditary Factors in Food Allergies
While allergies tend to run in families, it is impossible to predict whether a child will inherit a parent's food allergy or whether siblings will have a similar condition. Some research suggests that the younger siblings of a child with a peanut allergy will also be allergic to peanuts.
Managing Food Allergies
Once a food allergy is diagnosed, the most effective treatment is to avoid the food.
