The Home Allergy Test identifies antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in your blood. IgE plays a vital role in allergic reactions to many substances including a great variety of foods.
Allergy is different from intolerance. Intolerance is when your body can’t digest certain foods. This can be caused by other antibodies (not IgE) or if you lack certain enzymes. For instance, missing the enzyme lactase could mean you’re dairy intolerant.
The Home Allergy Test identifies specific food allergens that could trigger an allergic reaction. It does not test for intolerances.
