240 Food Panel IgG (Blood Spot)-US BioTek Kit:
Note: This is a test kit that will be mailed to you. It can be performed using a dried blood spot or a blood draw. Unless we are told otherwise, the dried blood spot will be sent to you. It is your responsibility to arrange for the blood draw for your kit should you choose the blood draw.
Fasting Required: No
Lab: US BioTek
Specimen: Bloodspot
Results: Average processing time 7-10 business days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Special Instructions: It is suggested that you maintain your usual dietary habits and consume a variety of foods when possible within a couple weeks prior to blood collection, unless advised otherwise by your healthcare practitioner. Avoid eating foods that may have potentially resulted in a previous adverse reaction and/or anaphylaxis, as secondary exposure may prove fatal. Do not perform this test if you are taking blood thinning medications or if you have a blood clotting disorder unless authorized by your healthcare practitioner.
Immunosuppressive drugs such as oral and intranasal corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone, beclomethasone, fluticasone, triamcinolone) and topical cortisone suspensions and creams, in addition to immune-modulating drugs, may affect test results for antibody assessment.
Dried Blood Spot testing is not recommended for children under the age of 18 months.
Description: Food allergies and sensitivities are recognized to be correlated with many plaguing health conditions, but with proper identification and elimination of offending foods, many experience relief from their symptoms.
The 240 Food Panel is a comprehensive food sensitivity testing option for patients who may have underlying sensitivities to less conspicuous antigens. Assessing IgG antibody reactivity across a broad range of culturally-diverse foods helps to identify trigger foods in these individuals.
