IgE Food Allergy Test
General DescriptionType one, or “classic”, allergy causes redness, swelling, and heat in the body as a result of the elevated blood levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Contrary to popular belief, the symptoms produced by IgE can be subtle and similar to those seen in other conditions. This potential confusion makes diagnostic testing very important in recognizing the offending source. The Advanced IgE Tests increase the chance that a patient may identify numerous offending foods and/or inhalants, including Thimerosal and Candida.

Even this change has also been acknowledged by the special school. After the receipt of Gluten / Casein Peptide test report we plan to initiate comprehensive follow-up in the light of other reports with the help of our nutritionist and I am sure that the little progress signs witnessed in my son are quite encouraging and my son will soon be a part of normal life. Any parents of an ADHD / Autistic child in Pakistan can get in touch with me to have first hand feel of my personal experience through my cell No 0092-300-8414169." "We did the IgE and IgG food allergy testing on our son last August and the tests came back positive to 55 allergies combined! Some of them were very, very high. We have done our best to keep him free of the higher allergens and he is so improved now. None of the doctors ever suggested that we try food allergy testing. They all admitted that we were dealing with a neurological problem and it was bad but nobody wanted to find out WHY!! I thank God that I didn't give up searching for answers and that I was led to your web site and so much information. We are thankful that we now have a mostly happy 4 year old who is enjoying his life so much more. We are so thankful to all of you at the lab, you are all doing such a worthwhile work!!!!!!!" – Family in Colorado Brochure
