To ensure the accuracy of test results, please observe the following:
- If testing for food antibodies, it is suggested that the patient eat a variety of foods for 2-3 weeks prior to food antibody testing (except for foods that are known to cause severe reactions). Doing so will help to ensure the presence of antibodies to allergenic foods.
The following medications may impact the antibody test: Glucocorticosteroids (e.g., oral prednisone and/or steroid metered-dose inhaler), chemotherapy, immunosuppressive agents (e.g., Humira, Rituxan) and NSAIDS (e.g., Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Tylenol, Aspirin). Do not discontinue medications without consulting your doctor.
Non-interfering factors to the antibody test: antibiotics, antihistamines, and antidepressants.
Test may be inaccurate if the patient has liver damage or HIV infection.

This is a blood test. You will need to schedule a blood draw and will have to pay a fee.
