IgE Allergy Testing – 20 Allergens

Type 1 Allergies are not to be confused with Type 3 Allergies (IgG mediated, food intolerance).  When a Type 1 Allergy exists, a person will experience immediate and often severe reactions, usually within minutes of coming into contact with the offending food or allergen:

• Hives or skin rash
• Itchy skin
• Swelling of the lips, face, throat
• In severe cases, anaphylaxis

Traditionally, IgE mediated allergies would be tested with the skin prick or ‘scratch’ method.  ImuPro offers a less invasive alternative by testing for IgE allergies with a simple blood test.  We can offer testing for 10 or 20 individual allergen triggers, which you can select off a comprehensive database incorporating hundreds of food, environmental and household allergens.

Please note IgE testing (for Type 1 Allergies) will not pick up any IgG mediated intolerances (Type 3 Allergies), just like an IgG test will not pick up your Type 1 Allergies.  You might like to enquire with ImuPro if you aren’t sure which test is suitable for you.
