About the Allergy Testing
Allergy Testing is a blood-based immunoglobulin E (IgE) screening service that helps identify substances your immune system may react to. Rather than a single marker, it covers a range of allergen-specific IgE tests for foods, pollens, molds, pet dander, and other environmental triggers, selected based on your symptoms. A small blood sample is collected and analysed at a CLIA-certified lab. Results show which allergens your immune system recognises, but they do not diagnose allergy on their own, so a healthcare provider interprets them with your history.
Who this test may be right for
- People with ongoing or unexplained allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, itching, or hives.
- Individuals who want to identify possible food or environmental triggers.
- People with a known allergy who want to check additional sensitivities.
- Anyone whose provider has recommended allergy screening.
- Caregivers investigating allergic symptoms in children.
What this test measures
- Total Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Measures the overall level of IgE antibodies in the blood.
- Food allergen-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies directed at selected foods such as milk, egg, peanut, or wheat.
- Environmental allergen-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies directed at selected pollens, molds, dust mites, or pet dander.
Before your visit
- No fasting is required.
- Continue your usual medications unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.
- Pause antihistamines before testing only if your provider instructs you to, as they may affect some allergy results.
- List your symptoms and the situations in which they occur so the right allergens can be selected.
Understanding your results
The report shows your total IgE and the allergen-specific IgE levels for the tests performed. A higher specific level may suggest sensitisation to that allergen, while a low or undetectable level makes allergy less likely. Sensitisation does not always cause symptoms, so results are matched to your history. Total IgE alone cannot identify a specific trigger. Discuss any positive or unexpected result with a healthcare provider, who can interpret the findings and recommend any further testing.

What is IgE and why is it tested?
IgE is the antibody class involved in allergic reactions. Measuring IgE, both total and allergen-specific, helps show what your immune system recognises, though it does not by itself confirm allergy.
How are the allergens chosen?
Your symptom history guides which specific IgE tests are selected. For example, food symptoms may prompt food panels, while nasal or eye symptoms may prompt pollen, mold, or pet tests.
