Allergy - Gastrointestinal (GIT) Panel
51+ booked in last 3 daysAllergies usually result when a person reacts to environmental elements that are typically safe for most people. The allergy-causing elements are called allergens. Allergens are present in dust particles, animals, pollen, insects, ticks, mould, food, and some drugs. The body creates the antibody immunoglobin E (IgE) in the event of an allergic reaction.
Using the ImmunoCAP method, the Allergy-GIT panel test analyses the body's reactivity to 32 commonly ingested food items for food allergies. The source of the allergy or allergies is identified using the results, and the appropriate course of therapy is chosen. Additionally, the IgE levels specific to each allergen are measured.
This panel of tests aids in determining whether specific food groups cause allergic reactions that result in allergies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Allergy - GIT Panel is done in suspected allergies due to certain food items for determining the exact food source causing it (allergen).
Allergy - GIT Panel measures the IgE-mediated response to 32 different food items including Wheat, Peanut, Soyabean, Cow Milk, Almond, Coconut, Cashew Nut, Tomato, Yeast, Garlic, Onion, Celery, Banana, Pineapple, Apple, Gluten, Spinach, cabbage, Caprica, Potato, Lentil, Rice, Corn, Chickpea, Casien, Brinjal, Lemon, Olive, Brazil nut, Hazelnut, Pear, and Peach.
Total IgE levels are also measured.
Allergy test panel requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergic food panel. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Positive result to a particular allergen indicates that the person is allergic to that food item. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results.
Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
Typically, you don't have to take any special precautions before an allergy-GIT panel. However, your doctor can best guide you if you need to take precautions. In case the doctor asks you for any precautions, follow them to get accurate results.
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction that causes congestion, sore throat, sneezing and a runny nose.
Blood testing is a popular method used in conjunction with skin prick testing to pinpoint the allergens causing allergy reactions. Blood testing is precise, yet no testing technique can guarantee 100% accuracy on its own. According to studies, blood tests often correctly predict a negative result in 95% of cases.
