Why is the Allergy Panel - Food (20 allergen) test taken?

The Allergy Panel - Food test is taken to identify food allergies in individuals. Food allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies certain food proteins as harmful substances and produces antibodies to fight them. This can lead to allergic reactions such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

By testing for specific food allergens, healthcare providers can determine which foods trigger allergic reactions in an individual. This information is crucial for developing a personalized treatment plan that includes avoiding the allergenic foods and carrying emergency medications like epinephrine.

Common food allergens tested in the Allergy Panel - Food (20 allergen) test include peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish. Identifying food allergies can help individuals manage their condition and prevent potentially life-threatening reactions.
