Your test results will tell you how reactive your IgE antibodies are to the food, inhalant and environmental targets tested in your allergy kit. According to medical studies, the stronger an IgE response to a particular target may increase the likelihood and potential severity of an allergic reaction. The test cannot give you a definite allergy diagnosis by itself. Doctors may only diagnose with a combination of allergy testing, medical history, and a physical exam.
However, you know your body best and how good you feel. You can use your at home allergy test results as a first indication to limit exposure to suspect allergens. This step may help you avoid symptoms in the future.
Help identify allergy triggers that may be causing you discomfort by measuring your blood concentration of IgE antibodies to a comprehensive list of up to 295 common allergens such as pollen, pet dander, and problem foods. The test ranks each potential allergen on a Class scale from 0-4; Class 0 (normal reactivity) thru Class 4 (very high reactivity). Test findings can provide valuable insight to help you make lifestyle changes to feel like your best self.

Let’s get technical! A respiratory or food allergy is an IgE immune response to a specific irritant. Immunoglobulins E (IgE) typically specialize in the defense against foreign invaders. If you have an allergy, your body has for whatever reason confused a harmless substance with a threatening pathogen. Possible substances that can be misidentified are proteins ingested by foods or proteins inhaled thru the respiratory system and found in pollen, animal hair, dust mites, and mold among other things. These possible allergy triggers are called respiratory and food allergens. Use a home allergy IgE test from 4U Health to discover your IgE antibody responses to up to 295 potential allergens.
Allergies have a rapid onset of symptoms and may persist with prolonged exposure. They typically appear within seconds to just a few hours . If you or your child has experienced symptoms that you believe may be related to an allergy, testing the body’s IgE antibody response to this set of 295 targets may help determine the cause of physical symptoms.
Food and respiratory allergens often share overlapping symptoms. Consider respiratory allergy testing together with food allergy testing to increase the likelihood of finding your trigger allergen(s) that may be causing symptoms.
Food allergies affect millions of Americans and their families. Food allergies occur when the body’s immune system reacts to certain proteins in food that would usually be harmless. Food allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms to life-threatening anaphylactic shock. You can use at home allergy testing by 4U Health to help identify the source of your symptoms. See below for the 9 most common food allergies in the USA.1

An elevated IgE level with some foods & inhalants may not cause symptoms. As such, an IgE level is not a standalone definitive diagnosis for a all allergens.
Many allergies are mild and only manifest themselves intermittently when the body experiences cumulative exposure to multiple allergens within a short timeframe. Furthermore, when reviewing results, we recommend considering the presence of IgE antibodies to Cross-Reactivity Carbohydrate Determinants (CCDs). Should IgE antibodies to CCDs be identified in a sample, studies show the likelihood of a possible false-positive or clinically irrelevant result increases. Taking antihistamines or cutting out specific allergen exposure before the test may also impact your results. For example, if you are allergic to dust mites and have thoroughly cleaned your sheets, pillowcases, and curtains along with the rest of your entire house and have not been exposed to dust mites for some time before your test, it may not show up as an allergy in your results.
Please note if you have a known allergy, do not expose yourself to it before this test. This could unnecessarily lead to the risk of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition.
