About this test
Key Benefits
Identify potential allergy to wheat and rye.
Simple At-Home Testing: Collect your sample using a finger-prick blood test.
Clear Differentiation: Helps distinguish between allergy and intolerance.
Fast & Reliable Results: Laboratory-based analysis for accurate detection.
Support Better Decisions: Helps guide dietary choices and symptom management.
What This Test Measures
This test measures your body’s IgE antibody response to:
Wheat
Rye
An elevated IgE response may indicate a true allergic reaction, where the immune system reacts to proteins found in these grains.
Wheat Allergy vs Gluten Intolerance
It is important to distinguish between different conditions:
Wheat Allergy:
An immune reaction (IgE) to wheat proteins, which may cause immediate symptoms.
Gluten Intolerance (Celiac Disease):
An autoimmune condition, not an allergy, where the body reacts to gluten and damages the intestine.
Understanding the difference is essential for choosing the right dietary approach.
Symptoms
Symptoms of wheat allergy may include:
Digestive issues such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting
Itching in the mouth or throat
Skin reactions such as eczema
Runny nose
Asthma-like symptoms
How It Works
Order Your Kit: Purchase your test online.
Collect Your Sample: Take a finger-prick blood sample at home and place a few drops on the collection card.
Send It Back: Mail your sample to the laboratory.
Receive Results: Access your digital results once analysis is complete.
This method is quick, minimally invasive, and easy to perform.
ISO-Certified Lab and Analysis
Your sample is analyzed at an ISO-certified laboratory using ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Biomarkers included
- Wheat: Wheat allergy is a condition that involves an allergic reaction to proteins found in wheat. It is one of the most common food allergies, especially in children. Wheat allergy differs from celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, which are separate conditions. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, including the potential for life-threatening anaphylaxis.
- Rye: Rye intolerance is a condition in which the body has difficulty digesting rye, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. Unlike rye allergy, which triggers an immune system reaction and can cause more severe symptoms, rye intolerance typically results in digestive issues after consuming rye or rye-based products.
How to prepare
Continue a normal diet containing wheat and rye for at least two weeks before testing to ensure IgE antibodies are detectable. No fasting is required.
Frequently asked questions
How does it work? / When do I get my results?
1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.
Is this the same as a celiac disease test?
No, wheat allergy and celiac disease are different. Wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated immune response to wheat proteins, while celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction to gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley) that damages the small intestine. This test specifically measures the IgE allergic response.
