This Strawberry Allergy Test uses a blood sample to determine whether or not you are allergic to strawberries. Those with strawberry allergies are prone to itching, swelling, hives, throat tightness, and in the most extreme of cases, anaphylaxis. In many cases, those with strawberry allergies can be allergic to other fruits as well. For this reason, we suggest covering multiple bases at once (and saving money) with a Berry Fruit Allergy Panel. To identify a specific strawberry allergy, order the Priority Lab Testing Strawberry Allergy Test today.

How Our Strawberry Allergy Test Works

This allergy test uses a blood sample to determine whether or not you are allergic to strawberries. Those with strawberry allergies are prone to itching, swelling, hives, throat tightness, and anaphylaxis in the most extreme of cases. However, in many cases, those with strawberry allergies can also be allergic to other fruits. For this reason, we suggest covering multiple bases at once (and saving money) with a multi-panel fruit allergy test. This test and panels are conducted via a blood draw and results are available in just 24 to 72 hours. Fasting is not required.

Common Strawberry Allergies Symptoms

Science Daily reports that food allergies affect 3 to 4% of adults and 5% of children. More specifically, strawberries can cause allergic reactions due to various allergenic proteins.1

The most common strawberry allergy symptoms, according to Medical News Today, include:

  • Itching and inflammation of the throat and mouth
  • Itchy skin
  • Hives
  • Coughing and wheezing
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • A feeling of tightness in the throat
  • Congestion2

How to Interpret Your Results

We strive to make interpreting your allergy test results as straightforward as possible. Our Strawberry Allergy Test is an Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) blood test that measures your body’s sensitivity to foreign substances by testing for IgE antibodies.

You’ll find a ‘results’, ‘flag’ and ‘reference range’ column when reviewing your results. The ‘reference range’ denotes the threshold for an allergic reaction. The ‘result’ is the numerical value describing your sensitivity to the allergen. The outcome of your strawberry test can be found under the ‘flag’ column and reported as either normal/non-reactive or abnormal/reactive. A reactive or abnormal test flag will indicate an allergic reaction to strawberries.

While some people may have antibodies that only react to strawberries, it is possible to have antibodies that react to multiple allergens.

Strawberry Allergy Test vs Berry Fruit Allergy Test

There are food allergy tests available for individuals who are relatively confident that they may have a strawberry intolerance. For that, we recommend taking the Strawberry Allergy Test. Otherwise, the Berry Fruit Allergy Panel determines whether or not you are allergic to various fruits and consists of five tests for strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cranberry and avocado allergies.
