Immunoglobulins E (IgE) are antibodies produced by the immune system. An IgE allergy test primarily identifies immediate allergic reactions. IgE-mediated allergies typically trigger in rapid symptoms within minutes, such as hives, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties, or anaphylaxis (severe, life-threatening allergic reaction).
Food intolerance is when there is difficulty digesting certain foods or ingredients in food. IgG-mediated allergies often result in more subtle or delayed symptoms, such as diarrhoea and bloating.
If you experiencing any symptoms, don’t wait for it to disappear. It’s important to address them promptly to avoid potential risks and maintain overall health and well-being.
