What does the Dairy & Nuts 11 in 1 Blood Test Allergy Detect?
Package ordering must occur when the immune system interprets a foreign substance as harmful but harmless to most people. When you are allergic, the immune system overreacts to the allergen by producing IgE immunoglobulins.
Why get a Milk, Nut and Dairy Allergy Blood Test ?
There is a growing awareness of an increasing trend in the human experience that the body is unable to cope with the spike in contaminants in the environment. Of course its only natural that element of the body will have reactions to this spike. Daily bombing of the body from one generation to another has lead us to a pandemic level situation of what we call allergues and intolerances.
These body reactions are varied and wild.
The truth is a little bit odd now, many of us feel the “allergy epidemic” isn’t just medical hype anymore. It’s something most of us are feeling firsthand. And if you feel like everyone you know is thinking about buying an EpiPen or can’t be in a room with a cat or a do. Its odd becausr, you’re not imagining it. A few decades ago we were laughing it off and not fully believing that such issues were real and that people were making uptake drama to get attention.
But nut and dairy allergic diseases, from nagging eczema to scary food reactions, have surged in the last few decades. While our grandparents might have dealt with a few sneezes in the spring, the sheer complexity of modern allergies makes testing way more than a “nice to have” today; it’s a survival tool.One of the biggest reasons to get tested now is how much our environment has changed. Look at the “Hygiene Hypothesis.” Furthermore, in a world of hand sanitiser, triple-filtered air, and hyper-processed food. Our immune systems, which evolved to fight off basic dirt and parasites, are essentially “bored.” Without real threats to fight, they’ve started picking fights with harmless things like peanut protein or cat dander.
The Regulators failed us
Because our bodies are basically glitching in this ultra-clean world, many of us carry “silent” sensitivities. Testing is the only way to catch these before they turn into chronic inflammation or a sudden trip to the ER.Then there’s the climate factor. It sounds like a stretch, but rising CO2 levels and warmer winters have basically put pollen production on steroids. Pollen seasons are longer and the stuff itself is more potent than it was fifty years ago. For a lot of people, “hay fever” has turned into a six-month battle. You can’t just guess which pill to take anymore; you need to know exactly which tree or grass is hitting you so you can actually treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
And it’s our own fault, the regulators have not done enough. This failure means that our modern diet makes things much worse. Corrupted food travels thousands of miles and is packed with additives that no one could possibly have foreseen. And the regulators have done nothing for decades.
Enhancements in food have backfired on those that we love
It gets complex with genetically cross bred or modified food. A new world of “cross-reactivity” that no one considered when they came up with good ideas of cross breeding food, like how someone allergic to ragweed might suddenly react to eating a melon because the proteins look similar to the body.
With all hidden ingredients in nut and dairy and secret cross breeding in food production from : fragrant enhanced tomatoes to smooth kiwifruit as well as actual processed food today, navigating a restaurant menu without a clear diagnosis is like walking through a minefield. Finally, we’re breathing in more pollution than ever. Tiny particles from traffic and industry actually “prime” our lungs, making them more sensitive to allergens.
Allergic Load is now used alongside Viral Load
It’s a double whammy: the air is more irritating, and the allergens are more aggressive. In the past, you only got an allergy test if you were having a major crisis. Now, it’s just smart preventative health. Finding out your triggers early helps lower your “allergic load,” stopping a little sniffle from turning into full-blown asthma down the road. In a world that seems to be getting more reactive by the day, knowing what your body can—and can’t—handle is the first step to actually feeling normal again.
- If you have severe raised, swelling, itchy skin and runny nose.
- There is a risk of an allergic reaction to a minimal amount of allergen.
- If you are being treated with antihistamines or other medicines.

Lilly’s Shared Story Nut, Milk and Dairy Allergies
Shining a Light on Sesame
Lilly is grateful for the protection and freedom she gained from full Panel treatment for her sesame children’s allergy. She hopes to reach a new level of awareness of being allergic to sesame and her own story. Shared here by her mother, it will make life safer for many others. Fifteen years ago, I sat my 17-month-old in her high chair and offered her one of my favourite foods for the first time before a full allergy blood exam.
She dug into the hummus enthusiastically for about five minutes until I realised with dread that she had hives covering her face and neck. For months, we knew that Lilly was prone to these Nut health issues. She already had difficulty with dairy. She had small, mysterious hives when she nibbled on her first bagel.
First contact
It wasn’t until that moment that we suspected that she was allergic to the sesame in the hummus — made heavily with tahini, which is ground sesame paste —. In those first weeks of confusion and fear after her reaction, our paediatrician threw her arms up and “said, “I guess you can be allergic to anything. You can take her to a Children’s home allergy blood test.” Thankfully, a Milk allergist quickly refuted”that “advice” and promptly did blood tests confirming that she was not just allergic to sesame but also dairy, oat, almond, and soy.
Over the years, Lilly’s Allergies have changed in so many unexpected ways. Thankfully, so has the awareness of sesame as a major allergen. These past few weeks, with big changes to labelling laws and the surprising news that popular restaurants like WendWendy’sick-fil-A and Olive Garden are adding sesame to products previously considered safe.
Sesame is finally making Nut headlines.
This feels acute and scary for many families as safe foods and restaurants are now crossed off the list. But this level of awareness of sesame allergies is a huge leap. And there is hope. Lilly’s story is an excellent example of that.
Hope for Our Family
For many years, anxiously managing Lilly’s issues with strict avoidance, we lived in an isolated silo. My extended family didn’t understand why Lilly’s had to be homemade or why I distrusted ingredients that vaguely said “spices and natural Nut flavours”. My husband and I ate most takeout food as if it was illicit – always after she was safely tucked into bed and never saved those Milk leftovers in the fridge.
Because there was no educational material in the U.S. on where sesame might be hidden, each year, I dug through literature from Canada to recreate my information sheet to educate teachers and other parents. Those were tough, exhausting years keeping Lilly safe.
Hope arrives?
Hope arrived when Lilly was 8 — ironically after a failed in-office food challenge. Our allergist started offering oral immunotherapy (OIT) to select patients, and he thought she would be a good candidate. After she reacted to a small amount of tahini at her food challenge, we realised that strict avoidance of Milk would continue to take a toll on our whole family’s well-being. Desensitisation with OIT offered us an “insurance policy,” the idea that if Lilly unknowingly ate a small amount of sesame, she wouldn’t do it.
For years, Lilly dosed religiously, mostly preferring tahini with equal parts sugar in a spoon. We occasionally mixed it up with tahini cookies for dosing at sleepaway camp. But she had her system and stuck with it. The Children’s profile was a leap of faith for all of us, but especially for a child who has been told her whole life that food that others enjoy could poison her.
Light at the end of the tunnel
We had a mantra e had a mantra when she was very little: “Yes, “Sesame Street. No to sesame foods.” Les” than a year into treatment, life had opened up. Lilly’s favourite takeout meals were sushi and bagels. At 13 years old, with five years of OIT solidly behind her, we grew more relaxed about her maintenance doses. But the real checkup of her Dairy treatment came later that year.
At a party, Lilly told me she enjoyed a big chunk of “delicious peanut butter fudge.” She”had eaten a large portion of sesame halves. Without a mild Nut reaction, she could take four times the amount of sesame protein in an OIT dose. With the long-term maintenance of OIT we haev news.
It’s important to have checkpoints for testing.
To understand better how reactions may have changed. That accidental halve ingestion was the impetus for us to do updated screening. Her blood IgE had dropped significantly, and her skin exam was negative. Ultimately, an in-office food challenge at Latitude would clarify what she was safe to eat.
Challenges ahead
She passed that challenge, giving her the confidence to eat sesame products and ingredients freely. I am comforted that my daughter. Nearly 17 years old and planning for college. It is safer globally thanks to OIT and Children’s kits. But families like mine who commit to long-term treatment never forget the “why” Why did we start OIT in the first place??
Because of that, as sesame is in the headlines, I encourage all families to be familiar with the symptoms when your child is allergic to sesame, the ways sesame can be listed as an ingredient, and, most importantly, consider updated screening and proactive.
