What's this test for?

This test is ideal if your child has had reactions like hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing trouble after eating certain foods, especially tree nuts. It's also useful if you suspect environmental allergies are causing sneezing, itchy eyes, or skin rashes. This panel helps identify which specific allergens may be triggering these symptoms so you can take steps to avoid them.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks for sensitivity to a wide range of tree nuts along with other common food and environmental allergens that often affect children. Testing several allergens at once helps paint a fuller picture of what might be triggering symptoms, since kids can react to more than one substance at a time. Grouping food and environmental allergens together also helps rule things in or out faster than testing one at a time.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account, with each allergen's result explained so you understand what it means for your child. If any allergens come back elevated, simple next steps include avoiding that food or environment and watching for symptoms during accidental exposure. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and use the trends feature to track sensitivities over time as your child grows. If a result suggests a severe reaction risk, seek medical care right away rather than waiting.

Who should consider this test?
Parents whose children have had unexplained reactions after eating nuts or other foods should consider this test. It's also a good fit for kids with ongoing environmental allergy symptoms like a runny nose, itchy skin, or watery eyes that seem to flare at certain times or places. Families with a history of food allergies may also want a baseline picture of sensitivities.
When will I get my results?
Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your child's sample being collected at the lab. You'll receive a notification once results are posted to your account so you can log in and review them. The report will walk you through each allergen tested and what the result means.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Watch for symptoms like hives, itchy skin, swelling of the lips or face, stomach pain, vomiting, or trouble breathing after eating certain foods. Sneezing, congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes that flare seasonally can point to environmental allergies. If these symptoms happen repeatedly after specific foods or in certain settings, this test can help pinpoint the cause.
How can I naturally support a child with food sensitivities?
Once you know which allergens to watch for, the simplest step is avoiding or limiting exposure to that food or environment. Keeping a food and symptom diary can help you notice patterns and confirm what triggers reactions. Introducing a variety of whole foods, when appropriate, and keeping the home free of common triggers like dust and pet dander can also help reduce overall symptom flare-ups.
What does a high result for a specific allergen mean?
A high or elevated IgE result means your child's immune system has developed sensitivity to that particular allergen, which raises the chance of a reaction if exposed. It doesn't automatically mean every exposure will cause symptoms, since some sensitized kids stay symptom-free. It's a signal to be cautious, watch closely during exposure, and consider avoidance strategies for that specific trigger.
What causes a child to develop an allergy sensitivity?
Allergy sensitivities develop when the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless substance, like a food protein or pollen, as a threat and starts producing antibodies against it. Genetics play a role, so kids with allergic parents or siblings are more likely to develop sensitivities themselves. Environmental factors, early food exposure patterns, and overall immune development can also influence which allergens a child becomes sensitized to.
How often should I retest for allergies?
Many food and environmental sensitivities in children change over time, so retesting every 1-2 years is a reasonable general guideline, especially for tree nuts which some kids outgrow. If your child has had a new or worsening reaction, retesting sooner can help update your avoidance plan. Tracking results over multiple tests through the trends feature can show whether a sensitivity is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same.

Demo results
Negative (0-0.35) Positive (>0.35)
0.15 kUA/L

What this means

This result is below the threshold, meaning no significant sensitivity to walnut was detected. A negative result suggests your child is unlikely to react to walnut, though occasional false negatives can occur. If symptoms still happen after eating walnut, other allergens or triggers may be involved.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More advanced tests may take longer due to complexity.
