What is Food Allergy FX5 Phadiatop?
The Food Allergy FX5 Phadiatop is a blood test that checks for specific antibodies against five common food allergens: cow's milk, chicken egg, wheat, peanut, and soy. These antibodies, known as IgE (Immunoglobulin E), play a crucial role in the body's allergic reaction.
Why should you get the Food Allergy FX5 Phadiatop test?
This test is useful for people who suspect they are experiencing an allergic reaction to food. Symptoms can range from skin rash and stomach complaints to more severe reactions such as anaphylaxis. It is also valuable for those who wish to identify their specific allergies in order to develop an adapted diet and management plan.
What does it indicate?
A positive result on the Food Allergy FX5 Phadiatop test indicates the presence of specific IgE antibodies against one or more of the tested food allergens, pointing to a possible allergic reaction to these foods.
What does a high level mean?
A high level of specific IgE antibodies against one of the tested foods indicates a higher sensitivity and likelihood of an allergic reaction upon exposure to that specific food.
What does a low level mean?
A low level of specific IgE antibodies means there is a less probable chance of an allergic reaction to the tested foods. However, it does not necessarily mean a complete absence of food allergy, as allergic reactions are complex and can also be influenced by other factors.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
