Vegetarian food sensitivity test is done in suspected allergies due to certain specific food ingredients commonly used for vegetarian cooking for determining the exact source causing it (allergen).
The allergy-food (vegetarian) test is carried out if a person shows symptoms and signs of allergy. These could be hives, itching, and dermatitis.
Vegetarian food sensitivity test measures the IgE mediated response to 11 commonly used food ingredients for vegetarian cooking- Cow Milk, Lemon, Pineapple, Peanut, Potato, Wheat, Rice, Soyabean, Lentils, Tomato, Olive. Total IgE levels are also measured. Further tests to a specific allergen will help in further diagnosis.
Vegetarian food sensitivity test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. 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.
Once we are exposed to a particular allergen, a blood sample is required to complete the Total IgE Immunoglobulin test. A lab technician will fasten a tourniquet around the upper part of the patient’s arm. He will ask the patient to form a fist. This helps the veins to get filled up with blood. The area about to be pricked with the needle is first cleaned and disinfected using an alcohol swab. A vacutainer is then used to collect the extracted blood sample. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for testing.
Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. 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. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
