The E FAST 88 Environmental and Food Allergy Test is a simple blood test that checks your immune system for allergy signals to many foods and common indoor and outdoor triggers. It is often called a specific IgE allergy blood test, FAST 88 panel, or environmental and food allergy panel. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that fits your day.
This test, also known as a specific IgE panel or allergy blood test, looks for IgE antibodies. These are proteins your body makes when it reacts to things like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, peanuts, milk, or eggs. Results can help your doctor see which items might be linked to sneezing, skin rashes, stomach upset, or breathing issues.
Common reasons: ongoing stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, hives, eczema flares, or coughing that seem to follow seasons, pets, or certain foods. Food concerns: stomach pain, nausea, or swelling after eating specific foods. Asthma and sinus: symptoms that get worse with pollen or dust. When skin testing is not a fit: you take antihistamines or have skin conditions and your doctor prefers a blood test.
Check in with your ID and lab order. A technician cleans a small spot on your arm and draws a tube or two of blood. You may feel a quick pinch. A small bandage is placed and you can head out. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes at the lab.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Food and drink: fasting is not usually needed unless your doctor says so. Medications: antihistamines do not affect IgE blood levels, but follow your doctor’s guidance on any medicines. Hydration: drink water so veins are easy to find. Clothing: wear sleeves that roll up easily. Records: bring a list of symptoms, known triggers, and any prior allergy results.
Allergic rhinitis or hay fever, allergic asthma, eczema or atopic dermatitis, food allergies, chronic sinus problems, and hives. Results need context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before sharing next steps.
