Meat and Poultry Allergy Reference Guide

Why This Test Is Ordered
Reason Description
Know which foods are included The panel includes beef allergy testing. The panel includes chicken allergy testing. Egg and pork allergy tests are included. Turkey meat allergy testing completes this panel. Understand what a result means Allergy blood tests measure allergen-related IgE antibodies. A positive result can indicate sensitisation. Sensitisation may not cause symptoms after eating. Result levels do not predict reaction severity. Use symptom history carefully Record the food, amount and time before symptoms. Describe hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing symptoms. Mention repeated reactions to the same food. Share restaurant meals and mixed-food exposures.
Symptoms And Who Should Test
Situation Description
People with possible food reactions Testing is most useful after a suspected reaction. Symptoms may affect skin, stomach or breathing. A food diary can help identify patterns. A clinician selects tests from the history. People with clinician-directed testing A clinician may request targeted allergy blood testing. Serum testing can help when skin testing is unsuitable. Results may be reviewed beside skin testing. An allergist can decide whether more evaluation helps. People reviewing a previous result Do not remove several foods from your diet alone. Unnecessary food avoidance can reduce dietary variety. Previous reactions remain important for interpretation. Ask about supervised food challenge when appropriate.
