FOOD ALLERGY PANEL TEST

A food allergy happens when your immune system - your body's defense against germs - overreacts to a certain food as if it were harmful. If you have symptoms after eating certain foods, food allergy testing can help find out if your symptoms are caused by an allergic reaction to those foods. And it's important to find out because allergic reactions to food can be serious. Most food allergy symptoms are mild and include skin rashes and abdominal (belly) pain.
