What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like hives, stomach upset, swelling, or breathing issues after eating certain foods, especially nuts, milk, or eggs. It helps identify whether your immune system is reacting to specific foods so you can figure out what might be triggering your symptoms. It's also useful if you have a family history of food allergies and want to check your own sensitivities before a reaction happens.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks your immune response to a wide range of common food allergens, with a special focus on tree nuts, since these are frequent triggers for serious reactions. Testing for multiple foods at once gives a fuller picture of what you might be sensitive to, rather than guessing based on symptoms alone. If certain results come back positive, more detailed component testing kicks in automatically to clarify the specific proteins involved.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each food allergen clearly marked as positive or negative, along with an explanation of what those levels mean. If any of the key allergens like milk, egg, peanut, or tree nuts come back positive, follow-up component testing is automatically run for a more detailed breakdown. From there, simple next steps include avoiding the trigger foods, watching for symptoms after accidental exposure, and retesting periodically if you're managing a known allergy. You can download the full lab report anytime and track any changes in your sensitivities over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support my body if I have food sensitivities?

Keeping a food and symptom diary can help you connect specific meals to reactions you notice. Eating a varied, whole-foods diet and slowly introducing new foods one at a time can make it easier to spot triggers. Some people find that reducing overall processed food intake and managing stress helps calm overall immune reactivity. Always avoid a food you know causes a reaction rather than testing it again on your own.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. If any of the major allergens trigger the automatic component follow-up testing, this is built into that same turnaround time, so you get the complete picture without needing to order anything extra. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are available in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who notices symptoms like itching, swelling, digestive upset, or breathing trouble after eating specific foods, especially nuts, milk, eggs, or shellfish. It's also worth considering if you have a close family member with food allergies, since sensitivities can run in families. People managing a known allergy who want to track whether sensitivity levels are changing over time may also benefit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or face, stomach cramps, nausea, or difficulty breathing after eating. Some people also notice milder signs like an itchy mouth or throat right after eating certain foods. If you've had a severe reaction like trouble breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency medical care immediately rather than waiting on test results.

What does a positive result for a specific food mean?

A positive result means your immune system has made antibodies against that food, which shows sensitization, but it doesn't automatically mean you'll have a reaction every time you eat it. Some people with positive results have no symptoms at all when they eat the food. The level of the antibody can give a general sense of how likely a reaction is, and the component testing helps clarify this further for foods like peanuts or tree nuts.

What causes food sensitivities to develop?

Food sensitivities happen when your immune system mistakenly treats a harmless food protein as a threat and creates antibodies against it. This can develop at any age, though it's more common in childhood, and genetics plus environmental factors both seem to play a role. Some people outgrow certain sensitivities over time, while others persist into adulthood.

How often should I retest?

If you're managing a known food allergy, retesting once a year or every couple of years can help track whether your sensitivity is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same. If you develop new symptoms after starting to eat a previously safe food, retesting sooner makes sense. Otherwise, this test is typically done once for initial screening unless your situation changes.
