Clinical Utility
Food allergies and food sensitivities are abnormal responses to a food component triggered by the immune system in the form of immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG, IgA, IgM), representing either an immediate or delayed response.
Specific IgG, IgA ELISA food panels are arranged in comprehensivepanels of 96 foods consumed in the typical western diet or 184 foods, many of the substitute foods typically found in rotation/elimination diets.
Specific IgE food panels include the major food allergens known to be responsible for immediate type reactions and are grouped for adult, basic or comprehensive panels. Individual specific IgE foods can be ordered from the labs inventory of over 100 different foods as needed.
This test is also available with a Wellness Plan – see separate listing.
