What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing reactions after eating peanuts or peanut-containing foods, such as hives, swelling, stomach upset, or trouble breathing. It's also useful if you suspect a peanut allergy but haven't been formally checked, or if you want to know your sensitization status before introducing peanuts into your diet or a child's diet. Keep in mind a positive result shows sensitization, not a confirmed allergy on its own.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with an explanation of what your specific IgE value means and how it compares to the normal range. If your result is positive, a practical next step is to avoid peanuts and peanut products and watch closely for any reaction if accidental exposure happens; if you have severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat, seek emergency medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track changes in your sensitization level over time.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or face, stomach cramps, nausea, or trouble breathing after eating peanuts or foods that may contain peanut traces. Some people also notice a scratchy throat or coughing shortly after exposure. If these symptoms happen repeatedly around peanut exposure, this test can help clarify whether sensitization is a factor.

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

While there's no natural cure for a peanut allergy, some simple habits can support your overall immune balance, like eating a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and managing stress, since stress can sometimes worsen allergy symptoms. Getting enough sleep also helps your immune system function well. These steps won't reverse a true allergy, but they support general health while you manage peanut avoidance.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once available, they'll be posted directly to your online account, where you can view the details and download your report.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who has had a reaction after eating peanuts, has a family history of food allergies, or wants to check sensitization status before introducing peanuts into a diet should consider this test. It's also useful for people managing an existing suspected allergy who want documented lab evidence to guide daily food choices.

What does a high (positive) result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies against peanut proteins, which indicates sensitization. This doesn't automatically mean you'll have a reaction every time you eat peanuts, but it does raise the chance of an allergic response, so avoiding peanuts and reading food labels carefully is a smart precaution.

What does a low (negative) result mean?

A negative result means no significant peanut-specific IgE antibodies were detected, which makes a true peanut allergy less likely. However, if you still experience symptoms after eating peanuts, it's worth looking into other possible triggers or retesting since allergies can develop or change over time.

How often should I retest?

If your circumstances change, such as new symptoms appearing or if you previously tested negative but now react to peanuts, retesting can be helpful. Many people also retest every couple of years if managing a known sensitization, since allergy status can shift, especially in children.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If you test positive, start by avoiding peanuts and peanut-containing products and carefully checking ingredient labels on packaged foods. Keep track of any symptoms after accidental exposure and consider carrying emergency treatment if you've had severe reactions before. Retesting later can help you monitor whether your sensitization level changes over time.
