Description
What is measured
Using an established immunological technique, this test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) specific to 44 food triggers. IgE reaction is known as a “true allergy” and there is an immediate response (seconds to hours) after exposure. Allergies can persist for a long period or a lifetime due to B-memory cells in the bone marrow.
What is Immunoglobulin E (IgE)?
IgE is a type of antibody found only in mammals and is produced by your immune system. When you have an allergic reaction to a trigger (food or inhalant like pollen), it is due to IgE production (immune system overreacting to a non-harmful antigen).
Cross-Reactivity
Although each type of IgE has its own “radar” for each type of allergen, many food reactions occur due to cross-reactions between food and pollen. Cross-reactivity occurs when the immune system identifies the proteins in one substance (food) and the proteins in another (pollen) as similar and the immune system reacts in the same way.

The kit was easy to use, and I was able to follow the printed instructions easily, I would appreciate some type of video instructions. The test is a little expensive, but it’s still cheaper and quicker than trying to schedule an appointment with my doctor.
