The FAST 88 Food Allergy and Sensitivity Test is a blood test that checks your immune response to many common foods. It is also called a food allergy blood test or a specific IgE panel. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that works for you.
This test is also called an IgG food sensitivity panel or a multi food antibody panel. It looks for antibodies your body makes to certain foods. Results can help your doctor see which foods may be linked with symptoms and which are less likely.
Common reasons: hives, itching, or swelling after eating certain foods. Stomach symptoms: belly pain, diarrhea, gas, or nausea tied to meals. Skin or breathing: eczema that flares with foods or mild wheeze after eating. Planning care: to guide food trials with your doctor or an allergy specialist.
You will check in with your ID. A technician will clean a spot on your arm and draw a small tube of blood. You may feel a quick pinch, then a bandage is placed. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes at the site.
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.
No fasting: you can usually eat and drink as normal. Medications: most antihistamines do not change blood antibody levels, but follow your doctor’s advice. Activity: skip very hard exercise right before your draw. Hydration: drink water so giving a sample is easier. Notes: bring a list of foods and symptoms to discuss with your provider. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior results if you have them.
This test may be used when checking hives after meals, swelling of lips or face, stomach cramps tied to certain foods, diarrhea or nausea after eating, eczema that flares with food triggers, and mild breathing symptoms linked to foods. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
