Best Food Allergy Blood Test Chicago
$179.00
Identify Your Food Allergies and Improve Your Health
The General Health Panel Test includes the Best Food Allergy Blood Test, which helps diagnose food allergies by identifying specific “food triggers.” The body produces antibodies against common food substances in people with allergies, triggering typical allergy symptoms. These antibodies or mast cells produce histamine, which causes the allergic response. While this reaction is designed to protect us from toxins, severe allergies can lead to anaphylactic shock and even death in extreme cases.
The panel also features the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test for a comprehensive health assessment, which evaluates thyroid function and helps diagnose thyroid-related disorders.

Additional Insights
Diagnosing food allergies is essential for managing health and preventing severe allergic reactions. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) provides guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergies in the United States. Our test aligns with these guidelines, offering a reliable method for identifying allergens.
The elimination diet and oral food challenge are traditional methods for diagnosing food allergies. However, they can be time-consuming and sometimes inconclusive. A blood test offers a more straightforward approach by measuring specific antibodies in response to suspect foods. It can be particularly helpful for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or those who experience subtle food intolerances that are not immediately life-threatening but impact daily health.
In some cases, additional tests like the skin prick test may be recommended to confirm the results of the blood test. A comprehensive approach helps in ruling out a food allergy and accurately identifying food sensitivities.
By understanding your allergy symptoms and identifying specific food triggers, you can take control of your diet and health care. Our test results provide the information you need to make informed decisions about your diet, potentially incorporating or avoiding small amounts of certain foods to manage your symptoms effectively.
Take the first step towards a healthier life by booking your Best Food Allergy Blood Test today. Our test is designed to provide you with detailed insights into your food sensitivities, helping you manage your diet and improve your overall health.
