This test is ideal if you experience symptoms like hives, stomach cramps, nausea, or skin reactions after eating cream cheese or foods containing it. It helps determine whether your body is producing IgE antibodies against cream cheese proteins, which would indicate a true allergic reaction. Many people use this test when they suspect cream cheese is causing their symptoms but want concrete confirmation before eliminating it from their diet.
This test measures Allergen Specific IgE antibodies to cream cheese, which indicates whether your immune system treats cream cheese proteins as a threat. When you have elevated IgE antibodies to a food, your body can trigger allergic reactions ranging from mild skin irritation to more serious digestive or respiratory symptoms. This specific test helps you understand if cream cheese is truly the cause of your reactions or if you should investigate other potential triggers.
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining whether you have a true IgE-mediated allergy to cream cheese and what that means for your diet and health. These notes include personalized recommendations like which foods to avoid, how to read labels for hidden cream cheese ingredients, and whether you might react to similar dairy products. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your allergen levels over time using our trends feature to see if your sensitivity changes.
What this means
Your test shows positive IgE antibodies to cream cheese, indicating a true allergic reaction. This means your immune system recognizes cream cheese proteins as a threat and produces antibodies that can trigger allergic symptoms like hives, digestive upset, or respiratory issues when you consume it.
Recommended actions
Avoid cream cheese and check ingredient labels for hidden sources in dips, frostings, and baked goods
Keep an antihistamine on hand for accidental exposure and discuss epinephrine needs with your doctor
Consider testing for other dairy allergens to understand the full scope of your sensitivities
Retest in 12-24 months to monitor whether your allergy levels change over time
