What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing itching, hives, swelling, stomach upset, or other reactions after eating kiwi fruit. It checks whether your immune system has developed a sensitivity to kiwi by measuring a specific antibody called IgE. It's a helpful first step if you suspect a kiwi allergy but aren't sure what's causing your symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account along with an explanation of what a positive or negative result means. If your result is positive, a practical next step is to avoid kiwi and watch for symptoms when you're accidentally exposed, since a positive result means sensitization, not necessarily a full-blown allergy. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account, and if you retest in the future, our trends feature lets you track any changes over time. If you ever have a severe reaction like trouble breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency medical care right away.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs that you might want to check for a kiwi sensitivity include itching or tingling in your mouth after eating kiwi, hives or skin rashes, stomach cramps, nausea, or swelling of the lips and tongue. Some people also notice sneezing or a runny nose. If these symptoms show up consistently after eating kiwi or kiwi-containing foods, this test can help confirm whether an immune reaction is the cause.

How can I naturally support my immune response to food sensitivities?

While you can't change an existing sensitization naturally, you can support your overall immune balance with a varied, whole-foods diet, adequate sleep, and stress management. Some people find that gradually building gut health with fiber-rich foods and fermented foods supports a more balanced immune response over time. Avoiding the trigger food is still the most reliable way to prevent reactions while you work on overall wellness.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once ready, you'll be notified and can log into your account to view them, with the normal reference range explained alongside your value.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who notices symptoms like itching, swelling, or digestive upset after eating kiwi should consider this test. It's also useful for people with other known fruit or pollen allergies, since cross-reactivity between kiwi and other allergens is common. Parents wondering if a child's reaction to kiwi is an allergy may also find this test helpful.

What does a positive kiwi IgE result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies against kiwi proteins, indicating sensitization. This doesn't automatically mean you have a full allergy — many people are sensitized without ever having a reaction. If you also experience physical symptoms after eating kiwi, the combination of symptoms plus a positive result points toward a true allergy.

What does a negative kiwi IgE result mean?

A negative result means no significant kiwi-specific antibody was detected, making a true kiwi allergy less likely. If you still experience symptoms after eating kiwi despite a negative result, other foods, ingredients, or conditions could be responsible and may be worth investigating separately.

How often should I retest?

Food sensitivities can change over time, especially in children, so retesting every 1-2 years is reasonable if you're monitoring a known sensitivity. If you've eliminated kiwi from your diet and want to check whether sensitivity has faded, waiting at least a year before retesting is a common approach.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result is positive, the most practical step is avoiding kiwi and reading ingredient labels carefully, since kiwi can appear in smoothies, fruit salads, and some cosmetics or supplements. Keep track of any symptoms you notice with exposure, and consider carrying appropriate emergency medication if you've had a serious past reaction. Retesting later can help you see if your sensitization has changed.
