What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, or skin reactions like hives after eating bread, pasta, or other wheat-based foods. It helps check whether your immune system is reacting to gluten in a way that could point to a food allergy. It's also useful if you've noticed a pattern between eating gluten-containing foods and feeling unwell but haven't been able to pinpoint the cause.

What's included in this test?

This test measures your IgE antibody response specifically to gluten, which is the immune marker most closely tied to allergic-type reactions to food. Checking this single, targeted marker gives you a clear signal about whether your immune system is sensitized to gluten, which can help explain symptoms tied to eating wheat products.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with an explanation of what a normal versus elevated IgE range looks like so you know exactly where you stand. If your levels come back elevated, a practical next step is to start paying closer attention to how your body reacts when you eat gluten and consider limiting it to see if symptoms improve. The full lab report is available to download directly from your account for your records. You can also use the trends feature to track your IgE levels over time if you retest later.

How can I naturally support digestive health if I'm sensitive to gluten?

If you suspect gluten sensitivity, try keeping a simple food and symptom journal to spot patterns between what you eat and how you feel. Gradually reducing gluten-containing foods like bread, pasta, and baked goods can help you see if symptoms ease up. Adding more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can support your gut while you figure out your triggers, and staying hydrated helps with overall digestion.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected. Once ready, you'll be able to view them securely in your account without needing to call or wait for a callback.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who notices digestive issues, skin reactions, or other uncomfortable symptoms after eating gluten-containing foods should consider this test. It's also a good option for people who've had inconclusive results from other testing methods or who can't have traditional skin allergy testing done due to skin conditions or medication use. If you have a family history of food allergies and want to be proactive, this test can offer useful insight.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, or diarrhea after eating wheat products. Some people also notice skin symptoms like hives, itching, or swelling, while others experience respiratory symptoms like a stuffy nose. If these symptoms show up repeatedly after eating gluten, it may be worth checking your IgE response.

What is IgE and why does it matter?

IgE is a type of antibody your immune system makes when it thinks a certain food is a threat, even if it isn't. When your body creates a lot of IgE antibodies for gluten specifically, it's a sign your immune system may be sensitized to it, which can trigger allergy-type symptoms. Understanding your IgE levels can help you connect the dots between what you eat and how you feel.

What does a high gluten IgE result mean?

A high result means your immune system has produced a noticeable amount of antibodies against gluten, suggesting sensitization. This doesn't automatically mean you have a full-blown allergy since some people test positive without ever having symptoms, but it's a strong signal worth paying attention to. Combining this result with how your body actually reacts when you eat gluten gives you the clearest picture.

How often should I retest?

If you make changes to your diet or notice new symptoms, retesting every 6 to 12 months can help you track whether your gluten sensitivity is changing over time. Retesting sooner may make sense if you're experiencing worsening symptoms or want to confirm improvement after cutting back on gluten. Using the trends feature makes it simple to compare results side by side.
