What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing itching, hives, swelling, or digestive upset after eating salads or raw vegetables. It checks whether your immune system reacts to common salad plants like lettuce, carrot, celery, and other greens. It's a useful first step if you suspect a food is triggering your symptoms but aren't sure which one.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures your immune system's IgE antibody response to five common salad plants. Checking multiple plants at once helps narrow down which specific food might be behind your symptoms, since many salad ingredients look and taste similar but can trigger very different immune reactions.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each allergen listed alongside its normal range, so you can see exactly which items came back sensitized. If any allergen shows a positive result, a practical next step is to avoid that food for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve, then retest later if needed. Severe or worsening symptoms after eating should be treated as urgent and may require immediate medical care. You can download a standard lab report from your account anytime, and use the trends feature to track your results if you retest in the future.

How can I naturally support a healthy immune response to food?

Keeping a food and symptom diary can help you notice patterns before or instead of testing. Eating a varied, whole-food diet and staying hydrated supports overall gut and immune health. Some people find that cooking vegetables (rather than eating them raw) reduces reactions, since heat can break down certain allergenic proteins.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, where you can view and download the full report.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who notices itching, tingling lips, hives, or stomach discomfort after eating salads or raw vegetables. It's also useful if you have a known pollen allergy, since some salad plants share proteins with certain pollens and can cause similar reactions (oral allergy syndrome). People trying to pinpoint a specific trigger among several suspect foods often start here.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include itching or tingling in the mouth and throat, hives or skin rashes, swelling of the lips or tongue, or digestive issues like cramping or nausea after eating salad ingredients. Some people also notice these symptoms worsen during pollen season, which can point to a plant-pollen cross-reaction. If symptoms are severe, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency medical care rather than waiting for test results.

What does a positive result on this test mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies against that specific plant, which shows sensitization but not necessarily a true allergy. Many sensitized people eat the food with no problem at all. The most reliable next step is to notice whether you actually get symptoms when eating that food, and avoid it if you do.

How often should I retest?

If you eliminate a suspected food and feel better, there's usually no need to retest unless symptoms return or change. If you're introducing a previously avoided food back into your diet, retesting after a few months can help confirm whether sensitization has changed. Otherwise, retesting is mainly useful if new or different symptoms appear.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by removing the flagged food from your diet for two to three weeks and track whether your symptoms improve. Reintroduce it slowly afterward to see if symptoms return, which helps confirm the connection. If you experience severe reactions like swelling or trouble breathing at any point, seek emergency medical care immediately.
