About Basic "Should I Be Vegan" Testing in Monrovia
This panel is designed to identify sensitization to animal-derived foods, which can be relevant when considering a vegan diet.
The test measures specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, and elevated levels to a particular food suggest that the immune system recognizes that food as a potential threat.
Common animal-derived foods included in this type of panel are cow's milk, hen's egg, and sometimes fish or shellfish. A positive result indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has produced antibodies to that food. Sensitization does not always translate into clinical symptoms, so results are interpreted alongside a person's medical history and any reactions they have experienced.
A vegan diet excludes all animal products, so knowing whether someone is sensitized to foods such as milk or egg can help inform how to replace those foods safely. The panel does not evaluate nutritional adequacy or ethical considerations, and it does not diagnose lactose intolerance or other non-immune reactions. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider who can help interpret them in context.
