What to watch with IgE Allergietest and Allergie?

The MyBody-X IgE Allergietest (AllergieCheck) measures specific IgE antibodies against common allergens and is designed to detect immediate (Type I) allergic reactions, such as to pollen, pet dander, or certain foods. However, a positive IgE result indicates sensitization, not necessarily clinical allergy – symptoms and medical confirmation are required. IgG food panels, in contrast, are not evidence-based for diagnosing food sensitivities and often lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions, especially in children. The test is not validated for pediatric use or for severe allergies like anaphylaxis. Always consult a doctor for proper interpretation and never use the test alone to guide treatment. Evidence: practice (IgE) / unclear (IgG). Caveat: false positives and negatives are possible; clinical correlation is essential.
