What is the Gluten Allergy Test?

The Allergen Individual – Food Gluten Test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies directed against gluten proteins in the blood. Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. This test helps determine whether gluten may be responsible for allergic reactions after consuming gluten-containing foods.

Who should take this test?

• Individuals experiencing allergic symptoms after eating gluten-containing foods.
• Patients with symptoms like hives, itching, rashes, or swelling after meals.
• People suspected of having food allergies.
• Patients with digestive discomfort linked to gluten consumption.
• Doctor-advised evaluation to identify specific food allergens.
