Understanding the test
What does the Food Allergy Test (44 Allergens) measure?
A clinician may request specific IgE when hives, swelling or other rapid symptoms follow a particular food. The history helps decide which entries in a 44-target panel are relevant.
When it may be requested
A reaction after a mixed meal
The history can guide the clinician to plausible foods on the panel when several ingredients were eaten together.
When skin testing is difficult
Blood testing may be considered when extensive skin symptoms or antihistamine treatment make skin testing less suitable.

Your checklist
Fasting is unnecessary for this blood panel. Bring a list of foods, the amount eaten and the timing of reactions. Do not deliberately eat a food that has caused a reaction in order to prepare for testing.
A clinician takes a small sample of blood from a vein. The laboratory uses serum, the liquid separated from the blood after it clots.

Reading your result
The report shows evidence of sensitisation to each tested target. A larger response does not reliably predict how severe a future reaction would be.
What can affect it
- A negative panel cannot exclude a reaction to an unlisted food or settle a convincing history of an immediate reaction.

Patient questions
Before you book
Does a positive food result mean I should avoid it?
Someone can have detectable IgE to a food they eat comfortably. Tell your clinician exactly what you ate, how soon symptoms appeared and whether you still tolerate that food. Decisions about avoidance or a supervised challenge depend on that history.
How does IgE differ from food-specific IgG4?
IgE can be relevant to an immediate allergic reaction. IgG4 is a different antibody and cannot be used to diagnose food allergy or intolerance.
What if my suspected food is missing from the panel?
Only the listed targets are assessed. Give the food name and the history of your reaction to the clinician so that a more targeted assessment can be considered.
