What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing trouble after eating peanuts or foods that may contain peanut traces. It's also useful if you suspect a peanut allergy but have never been formally tested, or if you want clarity before introducing peanuts into a diet. Knowing your allergy status can help you avoid dangerous reactions and plan meals more safely.

What's included in this test?

This test starts with a general peanut allergy screen that checks whether your immune system reacts to peanut proteins at all. If that screen is positive, a more detailed component test automatically runs on the same sample to break down exactly which peanut proteins are triggering the reaction, since some proteins are linked to mild symptoms while others carry a higher risk of severe reactions.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with an explanation of what a positive or negative result means and where your value falls on the normal range. If your screening comes back positive, the lab automatically runs a follow-up component test on the same sample to pinpoint which specific peanut proteins you react to, so you get more detailed answers without another blood draw. You'll get practical next steps, like which foods to avoid or when a reaction could become serious enough to seek emergency care. You can download the full lab report anytime and track any future retests over time using the trends feature.

How should I naturally support a healthy immune response to food allergens?

While you can't cure a peanut allergy naturally, you can support your overall immune resilience by eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fats, staying hydrated, and managing stress, since chronic stress can worsen allergic responses. Getting enough sleep also helps regulate immune function. That said, the only reliable way to avoid a reaction is strict avoidance of peanuts and foods that may be cross-contaminated.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. If your initial screen is positive, the automatic reflex to the component test may add a little extra time since it runs as a second step on the same sample. You'll get a notification as soon as your full results, including any component breakdown, are available in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who has had a reaction after eating peanuts or peanut-containing foods, parents wanting to check a child's risk before school or daycare exposure, or people with other food allergies who want to know if peanuts are also a concern. It's also useful for people with a family history of peanut allergy who want proactive answers.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include itching or tingling around the mouth, hives or skin rashes, swelling of the lips or face, stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting after eating peanuts. More serious symptoms like difficulty breathing, throat tightness, or dizziness after peanut exposure can signal a severe reaction and warrant immediate emergency care, not just testing.

What does a positive peanut IgE result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies that react to peanut proteins, suggesting you have some level of sensitivity or allergy. The automatic component test that follows helps clarify whether your reaction is likely to be mild, such as oral itching, or more serious, such as a risk of a whole-body reaction. Either way, avoiding peanuts and carrying emergency medication as advised on your report is the safest approach until you understand your specific risk level.

What causes a peanut allergy to develop?

Peanut allergies happen when the immune system mistakenly identifies peanut proteins as harmful and creates antibodies against them. Risk factors include a family history of allergies, having other allergic conditions like eczema or asthma, and in some cases, how and when peanuts were first introduced in early childhood. Genetics and environmental exposure both play a role, though researchers are still learning exactly why some people develop the allergy and others don't.

How often should I retest for peanut allergy?

If your results are negative but you still have symptoms after eating peanuts, retesting periodically or after a suspected exposure can help confirm your status. For children who test positive, occasional retesting over the years can help track whether sensitivity is changing, since some kids outgrow certain food allergies. Retesting is also worthwhile if your symptoms change in severity or frequency over time.
