The Allergy-GIT Panel (Veg + Non Veg) is done to identify the specific foods that are causing allergic reactions in your digestive system. Here are the key reasons why someone might undergo this test:

• Identify Food Allergies: This test helps pinpoint exactly which foods, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, are triggering your allergies. This is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of food allergies.
• Understand Digestive Issues: Food allergies can sometimes manifest as digestive problems like diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps. This test can help differentiate these symptoms from other digestive issues, allowing for more targeted treatment.
• Improved Food Management: Knowing exactly which foods you’re allergic to allows you and your doctor to develop a safe and personalized food plan. This can significantly improve your quality of life by reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
• Differential Diagnosis: Sometimes, symptoms that seem like allergies can be caused by food intolerances or other digestive conditions. This test can help rule out these possibilities and guide further investigations if needed.
