Allergy Non Veg Food Panel in Prince Anwar Shah Road, Kolkata

Everyone’s body reacts to non-vegetarian foods in different ways. Some people experience internal reactions upon ingesting certain non-veg foods. These internal reactions are allergies that often trigger different symptoms. For instance, you can experience itching, running nose, or abdominal pain after eating a specific non-veg item. 

The Allergy Non-Veg Food Panel Testing

Apollo 24|7’s non-veg allergy determination package consists of ten tests. Each of these medical tests detect the allergic reactions to particular foods.

Your immune system produces antibodies that fight disease-causing pathogens and foreign substances. In certain cases, the antibodies tend to identify and fight substances (allergens) that aren’t actually harmful. When your immune system identifies the presence of allergens, it produces Immunoglobulin (IgE) antibodies to fight against allergens. The IgE antibodies fight allergens by releasing histamines, which are chemicals that trigger symptoms of allergy like itchy skin, swelling of lips or face, and dizziness.

The objective of the allergy non-veg food panel test is to identify these allergens. The test examines the presence of antibodies after consuming different non-vegetarian foods. Here are the ten food items in the panel:

• Beef
• Chicken
• Fish (cod)
• Crab 
• Egg white
• Lobster
• Pork
• Salmon 
• Shrimp
• Tuna

The test checks for the presence of Immunoglobulin (IgE) antibodies in your blood sample. A positive result implies that you are sensitised to a specific non-veg food.

Why Should You Get Tested?

Food allergies can lead to skin, mouth, digestive tract, and stomach issues. If you notice persistent symptoms like headache, dizziness, and nausea after eating certain foods, it is essential to take the Allergy Non-Veg Panel Test.

The allergies can lead to chronic health issues like indigestion if you overlook the symptoms. Gradually, your body will become prone to unwanted health complications. So, to identify and eliminate non-veg foods that can cause allergies, you should undergo this test.
