What is the Wheat Allergy Test?

The Allergen Individual – Wheat Test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies directed against wheat proteins in the blood. When someone with wheat allergy consumes wheat or wheat-containing foods, the immune system may react and cause allergic symptoms. This test helps identify wheat as a possible trigger of food allergies.

Who should take this test?

• Individuals experiencing allergic symptoms after eating wheat or wheat products.
• Patients with symptoms like hives, itching, swelling, or skin rashes after meals.
• People suspected of having food allergies.
• Patients with digestive symptoms related to certain foods.
• Doctor-advised evaluation for identifying specific food allergens.
