Food Allergy Test in Dubai – Detect Reactions to 44 Foods Blood Test

Get Clear Answers About What’s Triggering You. Struggling with unexplained symptoms like bloating, rashes, fatigue, or digestive issues? It might be food allergies—and you could be reacting to common ingredients without even realizing it. With just one simple test, you’ll gain insights into how your body responds to 44 different foods—helping you take control of your health, improve your diet, and avoid discomfort.

Why You Need This Test

The Allergy Food Panel – 44 Foods (IgE Test) is a clinically validated blood test that detects IgE antibodies—the immune system’s response to immediate-type food allergies. These allergies can cause rapid, potentially life-threatening reactions, including hives, swelling, and anaphylaxis.

This test is essential for:

• Confirming suspected food allergies
• Identifying hidden triggers behind recurring reactions
• Preventing severe allergic responses
• Guiding safe dietary changes with medical certainty

It analyzes 44 common allergens, including:

• Nuts (peanut, almond, cashew, walnut)
• Dairy (cow’s milk, casein, whey)
• Eggs (white and yolk)
• Gluten-containing grains (wheat, barley, rye)
• Seafood & shellfish (shrimp, crab, cod, tuna)
• Soy, sesame, kiwi, banana, and more

This is not an IgG intolerance test—it’s designed to detect true allergies, helping you avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions while protecting against real risks.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

You may have an IgE food allergy if you experience rapid-onset symptoms after eating certain foods:

• Lip, tongue, or throat swelling
• Hives, itching, or skin flushing
• Nausea, vomiting, or stomach cramps
• Diarrhea within minutes to 2 hours
• Dizziness, headache, or drop in blood pressure
• Wheezing or breathing difficulty (seek emergency care immediately)

Common in both children and adults, these reactions can worsen over time—early testing is crucial for safety.

Natural Production & Immune Response

IgE antibodies are naturally produced by the immune system as a defense mechanism. In allergic individuals, the body mistakenly identifies harmless food proteins as threats, triggering:

• Release of histamine and other chemicals
• Symptoms like swelling, rashes, or GI distress

Factors like genetics, early diet, gut health, and environmental exposure influence allergy development. This test measures specific levels in the blood, graded on a class scale (0–6) or in kU/L, to determine the severity of your immune response.

What Happens If Untreated

Ignoring confirmed allergies can lead to:

• Progressive worsening of reactions
• Anaphylaxis—a life-threatening emergency
• Unnecessary dietary restrictions due to guesswork
• Nutritional deficiencies from avoiding safe foods
• Reduced quality of life due to fear of eating

With accurate results, you can:

• Eliminate only proven allergens
• Carry epinephrine auto-injectors if needed
• Share results with schools, caregivers, or dietitians

How to Prepare for the Test

Preparation is simple:

• No fasting required
• Continue normal diet (do not eliminate suspected foods before testing)
• Inform your doctor about antihistamines or steroids, though they don’t affect IgE levels
• Avoid testing during acute allergic episodes (wait 4–6 weeks post-reaction)

The test requires a venous blood draw, available via:

• At-home collection (DHA-licensed phlebotomist)
• In-clinic visit in Dubai
