What is an Allergy Screen (Cereals) Blood Test?
Our allergy screen gives you an analysis of four common grain allergens that can cause IgE-mediated allergies. You'll also get a total measure of your immunoglobulin E, which is often raised if you have an IgE-mediated allergy.
Who should take this test?
This test is ideal as part of an initial investigation screen if you have signs of IgE-mediated allergy, such as hives, redness of the skin, vomiting, and lip or facial swelling, which develop quickly after exposure to a cereal allergen. Please note that this test is not suitable for detecting coeliac disease.
