Gluten, F79

Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat, rye, and barley. The F79 laboratory test detects specific IgE antibodies in the blood, indicating sensitivity or allergy to gluten and the risk of allergic reactions or intolerance.

Role

• Identify individuals allergic to gluten.
• Prevent gastrointestinal symptoms and complications related to gluten allergy or intolerance.
• Monitor the immune response to gluten exposure.

Advantages

• Safe and rapid test for allergy detection.
• Enables personalized prevention and treatment measures.
• Can be performed before dietary changes or starting antihistamine therapy.

Indications

• Recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea).
• Allergic reactions after consuming gluten-containing foods.
• Family history of gluten allergy or celiac disease.

Contraindications

• No absolute contraindications. Results should be interpreted by a specialist.

Procedure

1. Venous blood sample collection.
2. Analysis for detection of F79-specific IgE antibodies.
3. Interpretation of results by a physician.

Results:

• Positive result: Presence of gluten-specific IgE antibodies, indicating allergy or sensitivity. Avoid gluten-containing foods and follow medical guidance.

• Negative result: No specific antibodies detected, suggesting low risk of gluten allergy.
