An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain substances like food, dust, pollen, drugs, or animal dander, known as allergens. Immunoglobin E (IgE) is an antibody produced by the body during allergic reactions. The Total IgE test measures complete IgE levels in the blood but does not specify the allergen responsible. The Vegetable panel screens for reactions to 8 common vegetables using the ImmunoCAP technique including Tomato, Yeast, Garlic, Onion, Celery, Spinach, Cabbage, Paprica. Treatment decisions are made based on results, including allergen-specific IgE levels.

Vegetable allergies are less common than allergies to other food groups but can significantly impact quality of life if untreated. The immune system may perceive certain vegetables as toxins, triggering the release of histamines and antibodies, leading to symptoms such as edema, skin irritation, throat swelling, and gastrointestinal issues.

The Vegetable Allergy Panel test is a diagnostic blood test. It identifies allergies to various vegetables and common food items by measuring the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are produced in response to allergens. The test analyses your blood sample for antibodies against specific proteins found in vegetarian foods like vegetables, pulses, and other allergenic items.

This test provides crucial information to guide dietary choices, particularly useful when travelling or when home-cooked meals are not an option. It also helps explain symptoms like hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. By pinpointing specific food allergies, the Vegetable Allergy Panel test enables you to make informed dietary decisions and manage your allergies effectively.

The Allergy - Vegetable Panel Test measures the body's immune response to 8 specific vegetables by detecting allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood.

  • Tomato (Lycopersicon Lycopresicum / Tamatar)
  • Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae / Bakers Yeast)
  • Garlic (Allium Sativum / Lehsoon)
  • Onion (Allium Cepa / Piaz)
  • Celery (Apium Graveolens)
  • Spinach (Spinachia Oleracea / Palak)
  • Cabbage (Brassica Oleraceavar.Capitata / Gobi)
  • Paprika (Capsicum Annuum / Simla Mirchi / Bell Pepper)

Vegetable allergy 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. 

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. 

Positive allergy test results should be discussed with a doctor to determine the next steps.
