The Comprehensive "Should I Be Vegan" Test is a blood panel that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against a wide range of animal-derived food allergens, including meats, dairy, milk, eggs, fish, and shellfish. It includes 38 individual tests to give a detailed picture of which animal-based foods your immune system recognises when you are considering a plant-based diet. The panel does not make dietary decisions for you; it provides information. Results are interpreted with your symptoms and preferences, ideally with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian.

• People considering a vegan or plant-based diet who want a detailed animal-food screen.
• Individuals who react to several animal products and want a broad assessment.
• People with suspected food allergies who want comprehensive animal-derived testing.
• Anyone whose provider has recommended extensive allergy testing before dietary changes.
• People who want thorough information to discuss with a dietitian or healthcare provider.

• Egg White-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to egg white proteins.
• Egg Yolk-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to egg yolk proteins.
• Whole Egg-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to whole egg proteins.
• Cow's Milk-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to cow's milk proteins.
• Casein-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to casein, a milk protein.
• Whey-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to whey, a milk protein.
• Alpha-lactalbumin-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to alpha-lactalbumin, a milk protein.
• Beta-lactoglobulin-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to beta-lactoglobulin, a milk protein.
• Goat Milk-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to goat milk proteins.
• Sheep Milk-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to sheep milk proteins.
• Butter-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to butter proteins.
• Cheddar Cheese-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to cheddar cheese proteins.
• Yogurt-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to yogurt proteins.
• Cod Fish-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to cod fish proteins.
• Salmon-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to salmon proteins.
• Tuna-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to tuna proteins.
• Anchovy-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to anchovy proteins.

• Shrimp-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to shrimp proteins.
• Crab-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to crab proteins.
• Lobster-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to lobster proteins.
• Clam-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to clam proteins.

• Squid-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to squid proteins.
• Octopus-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to octopus proteins.
• Beef-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to beef proteins.
• Pork-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to pork proteins.
• Chicken-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to chicken proteins.
• Turkey-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to turkey proteins.
• Lamb-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to lamb proteins.
• Duck-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to duck proteins.
• Venison-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to venison proteins.
• Rabbit-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to rabbit proteins.
• Gelatin-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to gelatin proteins.
• Caviar (Fish Roe)-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to fish roe proteins.
• Buffalo Milk-specific IgE Measures IgE antibodies that react to buffalo milk proteins.

• 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 the animal-derived foods you currently eat and any symptoms you have noticed.

The report provides a separate IgE level for each of the 38 animal-derived foods tested. A higher level may suggest sensitisation to that food, while a low or undetectable level makes allergy less likely. A positive result does not necessarily mean you must avoid the food, and a negative result does not guarantee tolerance. The panel is one input among many when considering diet. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian before making significant dietary changes.
