The Food and Tree Nut Panel screens for common food and nut allergies, including almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut, walnut, macadamia, and Brazil nut, as well as milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame, seafood (codfish, salmon, tuna, scallop, shrimp). This IgE test helps identify triggers of allergic reactions such as hives, swelling, digestive issues, or respiratory symptoms, providing valuable insights for diagnosis, management, and dietary planning.

The Food Allergy Panel measures IgE antibodies to common food allergens, including nuts (almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut, walnut), seafood (codfish, salmon, tuna, shrimp, scallop), and other foods (cow’s milk, egg white, sesame seed, soybean, wheat). Elevated levels may indicate food allergies, which can cause hives, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or anaphylaxis. This panel helps identify food allergy triggers.

The Maize/Corn f8 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies to proteins in maize (corn). Elevated levels may indicate an allergic reaction, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive discomfort, respiratory symptoms, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This test helps identify corn allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Lupin w207 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies to proteins in lupin, a legume used in flours and food products. Elevated levels may indicate an allergic reaction, which can cause hives, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or anaphylaxis in severe cases. This test helps identify lupin allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Shellfish Allergy Panel measures IgE antibodies to common shellfish proteins, including clam, crab, lobster, and shrimp. Elevated levels may indicate shellfish allergies, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This panel helps identify shellfish allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Nut Mix Allergy Panel measures IgE antibodies to common nuts and seeds, including almond, cashew, coconut, hazelnut, peanut, pecan, and sesame seed. Elevated levels may indicate food allergies, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This panel helps identify nut and seed allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Cereal Allergy Panel measures IgE antibodies to common cereal grains, including barley, buckwheat, gluten, rice, and rye. Elevated levels may indicate food allergies, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This panel helps identify cereal grain allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Gluten f79 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies specific to gluten proteins in the blood. Elevated levels suggest an allergic-type immune response to gluten, which may cause symptoms such as digestive issues, skin reactions, or respiratory problems. This test helps evaluate possible gluten allergy and guide further diagnosis or management.

The Wheat f4 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies to proteins in wheat. Elevated levels may indicate an allergic reaction, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive discomfort, respiratory issues, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This test helps identify wheat allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Egg Mix (Yolk and White) f245 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies to proteins in both egg yolk and egg white, helping identify allergic reactions to eggs. Elevated levels suggest an egg allergy, which can cause symptoms such as skin rashes, digestive upset, respiratory issues, or severe reactions like anaphylaxis. This test supports accurate diagnosis and guides management, including dietary avoidance and treatment planning.

The Milk f2 IgE Test measures IgE antibodies to proteins in cow’s milk. Elevated levels may indicate an allergic reaction, which can cause hives, itching, swelling, digestive issues, respiratory symptoms, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. This test helps identify milk allergies and supports management through dietary avoidance and treatment strategies guided by healthcare providers.

The Milk Component Panel measures IgE antibodies to alpha-lactalbumin (F76), beta-lactoglobulin (F77), and casein (F78), the major milk proteins linked to allergic reactions. Elevated levels may confirm cow’s milk allergy, which can cause hives, digestive upset, or anaphylaxis. Doctors use this test to identify specific milk protein sensitivities, guide dietary restrictions, and support management of food allergies in children and adults.

The Childhood and Tree Nut Allergy Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to evaluate potential allergic sensitivities in children, particularly to common allergens found in food, the environment, and household settings. This specialized panel focuses heavily on identifying allergic reactions to tree nuts, a group of allergens that can pose serious risks for children prone to severe allergic responses. However, it also screens for a broader range of allergens, including environmental triggers such as pet dander, molds, and dust mites, as well as common food allergens like milk, eggs, wheat, soy, and shellfish. The panel measures levels of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), which are antibodies produced by the immune system in response to perceived threats from these substances. By testing for IgE antibodies associated with each allergen, this panel helps healthcare providers pinpoint sensitivities that could be contributing to allergic symptoms, ranging from mild skin irritation to severe anaphylactic reactions.

The Mold Allergy Panel measures IgE antibodies to common mold allergens, including Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Cladosporium herbarum, and Mucor racemosus. Elevated levels may indicate mold allergies, which can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, coughing, wheezing, or asthma. This panel helps identify mold sensitivities and supports management through avoidance strategies or allergy treatments.
