Imutest Milk Allergy Test Kit
When the test is useful
Allergy is an inappropriate reaction of the immune system to otherwise harmless substances in the surrounding environment. When the body comes into contact with an allergen, it reacts defensively and releases histamine, which causes typical allergy symptoms.
Cow's milk protein allergy is one of the common food allergies, especially in children under 3 years of age. IgE-mediated symptoms may begin within 2 hours, often already within 10 to 20 minutes after ingestion.
The Imutest Milk test is suitable for indicative home assessment of sensitivity to cow's milk protein using a drop of blood taken from the fingertip.
The test may be especially appreciated by parents of young children and by people who want a quick indicative insight into a possible cow's milk allergy at home.
Symptoms for which the test may be useful
Possible manifestations of milk allergy include:
  • itching, redness, hives, or swelling,
  • rapid flare-up of atopic eczema,
  • vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhoea,
  • acute rhinitis, conjunctivitis, narrowing of the larynx, or acute bronchospasm.
Why allergy should not be underestimated
According to the supplied material, cow's milk protein allergy may be the most common food allergy in young children, but in some cases it may fade over time.
Timely indicative screening may help when deciding on the next steps and on appropriate consultation with a doctor or allergist.
