At English Doctor Barcelona, our English-speaking nutritionist in Barcelona offers personalized dietary consultations and allergy testing to help you manage your health.
Allergies cause immune system reactions ranging from a runny nose to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Allergy testing measures the amount of IgE (allergy) antibodies in your blood. IgE antibodies are produced when your body reacts to substances that you might be allergic to, such as specific foods.
A variety of methods is available for allergen-specific IgE tests. The traditional RAST (radioallergosorbent test) test has been replaced with a newer IgE –specific immunoassay method.
All allergen IgE tests are referred to as RAST tests by some Doctors even though this is a specific test method and may not be the same method used in the laboratory.
To determine what substance is triggering an allergic reaction, your blood can be tested against common allergens in the laboratory.Â
The severity of allergic response is due to a combination of genetic background and extent of exposure to allergens.
