Screening for allergy (IgE) and food intolerance (IgG) allows detection of sensitization to various allergens.

This testing determines:

  • total IgE;
  • inhalant allergen mix, IgE: mugwort, birch, timothy grass, rye, cat and dog epithelium, Cladosporium herbarum, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus;
  • tree pollen mix, IgE: birch, oak, alder, hazel, willow;
  • food products, IgG: wheat, hazelnut, cow’s milk, eggs, tomatoes, pineapple, mustard;
  • specificity control.

Food allergy is an increased sensitivity of the body to food products caused by immune system dysfunction. It is most common in children but can persist throughout life in adults. According to statistics, 2-3% of adults and 7-9% of children under 6 years suffer from food allergy. In 5% of cases, respiratory symptoms may develop up to bronchial asthma, as well as dangerous reactions such as anaphylactic shock.

The prevalence of food allergy in individuals with gastrointestinal, liver, and biliary tract diseases ranges from 5 to 50%. It is often found in patients with other allergic diseases, particularly hay fever.

It is important to distinguish food allergy from food intolerance, as they are different conditions. Symptoms of food intolerance include:

  • gastrointestinal: vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, itching in the mouth or throat;
  • skin: irritation, itching, diaper rash in infants;
  • respiratory: rhinitis, laryngitis, runny nose, sneezing;
  • nervous system: headache, migraine.

  • Diagnosis of allergic diseases associated with sensitization to food products.
  • Differential diagnosis of food allergy and food intolerance.

ELISA ((EIA) (enzyme immunoassay) – quantitative determination.

RAST (Radioimmunoassay/Radioimmunological analysis, Radioallergosorbent test) – quantitative determination.

Please note that the research method and reference values may vary depending on the equipment and test systems used.

  • Blood should be drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
  • Drinking plain still water is allowed.
  • Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
  • For children under 1 year – no food 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
