The "fx5" food allergy screening is a comprehensive test that detects sensitization to major food allergens. The analysis helps identify allergic reactions caused by specific proteins in these foods.

This test includes the following allergens: f1 egg protein, f2 milk protein, f3 cod, f4 wheat flour, f13 peanut, f14 soy.

This test detects allergic reactions to the most common food allergens that frequently cause allergy symptoms in children and adults.

Eggs are used in many products and are the second most common food allergen in children after milk. Allergy can be to the egg white or yolk, but all parts should be avoided. Eggs are found in foods, cosmetics, medicines, and vaccines.

Cow’s milk is the most common allergen in infants, especially those on formula feeding. It differs from lactose intolerance as it causes not only gastrointestinal but also skin and respiratory symptoms.

Cod is a strong allergen; even the smell or skin contact can trigger a reaction. It can cause anaphylaxis and may have cross-reactions with other fish species.

Wheat contains many allergenic proteins, including gluten, which causes celiac disease and baker’s asthma. Reactions can occur from ingestion, inhaling flour, or skin contact, and cross-reactions with other cereals are possible.

Peanut is one of the most dangerous allergens, especially in children. Risk factors include family history, atopic dermatitis, and other allergies. Cross-reactions with almond, soy, or birch pollen are possible.

Soy causes two types of allergy: a rapid IgE-mediated reaction with rash and anaphylaxis, and a delayed reaction with gastrointestinal symptoms. It is often associated with milk allergy, especially in children.

Screening is especially important for symptoms of allergic dermatitis, asthma, angioedema, anaphylaxis, and gastrointestinal disorders.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions.
  • Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
  • Monitoring reduction of sensitization after avoiding allergens and undergoing therapy.
  • Evaluation of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – quantitative determination of specific IgE antibodies.

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.
