What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained allergic reactions like hives, itching, swelling, or breathing difficulties. It helps identify if your body is producing high levels of allergy antibodies, which could explain symptoms like chronic sneezing, watery eyes, skin rashes, or digestive issues after eating certain foods. Many people use this test when they suspect they have allergies but want to understand the severity of their allergic response.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your IgE levels mean for your allergic sensitivity and overall immune response. These notes include personalized recommendations like environmental changes, dietary modifications, or whether you should consider allergy testing for specific triggers or see an allergist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your IgE levels over time using our trends feature to see how lifestyle changes or treatments are affecting your allergic responses.

What's included in this test?

This test measures Immunoglobulin E (IgE). This test measures Immunoglobulin E (IgE), which is the antibody your immune system produces when it overreacts to allergens. Elevated IgE levels can indicate you're prone to allergic reactions from things like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, certain foods, or insect stings. This measurement helps determine if your symptoms are truly allergy-related and how active your allergic response system is.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for anyone experiencing frequent or unexplained allergic symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, hives, or breathing difficulties. It's also helpful for people with a family history of allergies, asthma, or eczema, or those who want to understand if their symptoms are due to allergic reactions. Parents often use this test for children with suspected allergies or chronic respiratory issues.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include frequent sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes or hives, eczema flare-ups, and swelling of the lips, tongue, or face. You might also experience digestive issues like stomach pain or diarrhea after eating, chronic coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath. If these symptoms occur repeatedly or seem to be triggered by specific foods, seasons, or environments, this test can help identify if allergies are the cause.

How can I naturally support my immune system and reduce allergic reactions?

Start by identifying and minimizing exposure to common allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, and certain foods. Keeping your home clean with regular vacuuming and using air purifiers can help reduce environmental triggers. Eating anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3 rich fish, fruits, and vegetables may help calm your immune response. Some people find relief with local honey, probiotics, and staying well-hydrated to support overall immune health.

What is Immunoglobulin E and why does it matter?

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody produced by your immune system specifically to fight off parasites and respond to allergens. When you have allergies, your body mistakenly produces too much IgE in response to harmless substances like pollen or peanuts, triggering symptoms like itching, swelling, and inflammation. Measuring IgE levels helps determine if you have an overactive allergic response and how severe your tendency toward allergic reactions might be.

What does high IgE mean?

High IgE levels typically indicate that your immune system is overreacting to allergens, making you more prone to allergic reactions. This can mean you have active allergies to environmental triggers like pollen, mold, or pet dander, or food allergies. Elevated IgE can also be associated with asthma, eczema, or parasitic infections. The higher your IgE, the more actively your body is responding to perceived threats.

What causes high IgE levels?

High IgE is most commonly caused by allergic conditions like hay fever, food allergies, asthma, or atopic dermatitis (eczema). Environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and animal dander are frequent triggers. Certain parasitic infections can also elevate IgE levels. Genetic factors play a role too—if allergies run in your family, you're more likely to produce higher IgE levels.

How often should I retest my IgE levels?

If you're monitoring known allergies or undergoing treatment like immunotherapy, testing every 6-12 months can help track your progress and see if your allergic response is improving. If you're newly diagnosed or experiencing changing symptoms, your doctor might recommend retesting every 3-6 months initially. Once your allergies are well-managed and stable, annual testing is usually sufficient to ensure your treatment plan is working.
