Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic to eggs?
Not always. A positive result shows that your immune system has made antibodies to egg white proteins, but you may not have symptoms. Your doctor will consider your history and other tests.
Can this test tell me if I will outgrow an egg allergy?
It can help track changes over time, but it cannot predict whether you will outgrow the allergy. Your doctor will monitor your symptoms and may repeat testing.
Do I need to avoid eating eggs before the test?
No. You do not need to avoid eggs before this blood test. In fact, avoiding eggs will not change the antibody levels that the test measures.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are usually available within 1 to 3 business days. Your doctor's office will contact you to discuss the results.
