Food Allergy Test Package (Non- Veg and Veg Foods) in Gurgaon

Food Allergy Package Gurgaon Details

Introduction to food allergens & allergies

Food allergies are caused by an abnormal immune response to food. The immune system mistakenly identifies a food protein as harmful and produces antibodies to fight it. When the person eats the food again, the antibodies bind to the food protein and release histamine, a chemical that causes allergic symptoms.

Food allergies can range in severity from mild to severe. Mild symptoms may include hives, itching, and swelling of the tongue or lips. More severe symptoms may include difficulty breathing, wheezing, and anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction.

The eight most common food allergens are:

• Milk

• Eggs

• Fish

• Shellfish

• Tree nuts

• Peanuts

• Wheat

• Soy

Common food allergy symptoms

Food allergies can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. The severity of the reaction can vary depending on the person and the amount of allergen they are exposed to. In some cases, food allergies can cause a delayed reaction. This means that the symptoms may not appear until several hours or even days after eating the allergen.

The most common food allergy symptoms include:

• Skin reactions: Hives, eczema, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat

• Gastrointestinal symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain

• Respiratory symptoms: Wheezing, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing

• Anaphylaxis: A life-threatening reaction that can cause trouble breathing, swelling of the throat, and a drop in blood pressure

How allergies are diagnosed?

To avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions and ensure proper management, it is crucial to diagnose food allergies accurately. This typically involves the following steps:

• Medical history: Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms when they started, and what triggers them. They will also ask about your family history of allergies.

• Physical examination: Your doctor will perform a physical examination to look for any signs of allergies, such as hives, eczema, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

• Allergy testing: Allergy testing is the most accurate way to diagnose an allergy. There are two main types of allergy tests: skin tests and blood tests.

• Skin tests: Skin tests involve placing a small amount of an allergen on your skin and then pricking or scratching the skin to allow the allergen to enter your body. If you are allergic to the allergen, you will develop a red, itchy bump at the test site within 15-20 minutes.

• Blood tests: Blood tests measure the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. Your immune system produces IgE antibodies in response to allergens. High levels of IgE antibodies to a particular allergen indicate that you are allergic to that allergen.

Package Overview: At-Home Food Allergy Test Gurgaon

If your doctor in Gurgaon suspects you have a food allergy, they may refer you to an allergy specialist. The specialist will order a food allergy test or food allergy profile test to help manage your condition.

An IgE food allergy test measures the levels of IgE antibodies in your blood. This test is used to diagnose immediate hypersensitivity reactions to specific allergens and is the standard diagnostic method for IgE-mediated food allergies.

Importance of Food Allergy Blood Test in Gurgaon

Food allergy testing is employed to pinpoint allergies to particular foods, especially in individuals displaying allergy symptoms.

Therefore, getting the right diagnosis for a food allergy is really important.2
