Allergy Veg Food Panel

When individuals consume certain types of food, their immune systems may react adversely to some of the proteins in the food. This reaction can lead to several symptoms which can occasionally be severe.

Often, allergies restrict our food options especially when you are travelling or are unable to have home-cooked meals.

A comprehensive allergy veg food panel test can solve this issue. To identify suspected allergies, you can avail Allergy Veg Food Panel offered by Apollo 24|7. The panel of tests is designed to test for allergies to specific vegetables and grains that are known to cause allergic reactions. It works by identifying individual food allergens in blood samples.

Symptoms of Allergic Reactions

There are several symptoms that indicate an allergic reaction. Symptoms can vary from person to person and range from mild to severe. Here are some symptoms that people with allergies commonly experience:

- Difficulty breathing
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting

- Diarrhea

Test Procedure

The Allergy Veg Food Panel is a simple blood test that can help identify specific food allergies. The procedure involves drawing a blood sample from the patient. A healthcare professional will draw blood from a vein in your arm using a needle. The sample will then be sent to a lab for analysis. In the lab, the sample is tested for antibodies produced against specific proteins that are present in vegetarian foods, such as vegetables, pulses, milk products, etc.

The Allergy Veg Food Panel includes tests for the following antigens:

• Milk
• Wheat
• Rice
• Peanut
• Soybean
• Tomato
• Banana
• Chickpea
• Lentil
• Eggplant/Aubergine (popularly known as brinjal)

Treatment Options

The treatment for food allergies depends on the severity of the reaction. In some cases, avoiding allergy-causing food may be enough to eliminate symptoms. In more severe cases, medications such as antihistamines or epinephrine injections may be necessary. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment.
