Soy Allergy Test

1. Easy Testing Process

Just follow our step-by-step guide to complete your blood test—either at a certified lab or with our convenient at-home collection kit.

2. Pre-Test Guidelines

• No Fasting Needed: Stick to your regular diet before the test.
• Dietary Tips: Avoid cutting out corn, dairy, or eggs beforehand, as this may impact your test results.
• Medications & Supplements: There are no restrictions, but check with your healthcare provider if you’re unsure about anything you're taking that might affect immune responses.

3. Proper Sample Collection

Make sure your sample is sealed and stored correctly, and follow all instructions carefully to ensure accurate testing.

4. Hassle-Free Processing

Consult your healthcare provider to understand your results and create a personalized nutrition plan. This can help you better manage soy allergy symptoms or reduce your risk of severe soy allergy reaction episodes.

From a patient's perspective, it can help provide insight into potential food-related triggers that may contribute to symptoms like digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin irritation, or common soy allergy symptoms. This test is intended to support healthcare providers in evaluating immune responses to soy as part of a broader health assessment, especially when people experience a reaction to soy allergy or uncertain soy allergy reaction patterns.

Primary Soy Antigens:

• Gly m 1 – Associated with soybean dust-related sensitivities and respiratory reactions
• Gly m 2 – Related to airborne soy exposure and asthma-like symptoms
• Gly m 3 – Denatured antigenic protein found in soy after cooking or fermentation
• Gly m 4 – Major soy antigen causing reactions in the gut, respiratory tract, and skin, with cross-reactivity to birch pollen
• Gly m 5 – Homologous to peanut antigen Ara h 1, potentially triggering cross-reactivity in peanut-sensitive individuals
• Gly m 6 – Homologous to peanut antigen Ara h 3, contributing to cross-reactivity in peanut-sensitive individuals
• Gly m 7 – Heat-resistant soy antigen with potential peanut cross-reactivity
• Gly m 8 – Predictive antigen used to detect allergic responses and soy-specific sensitivity

Soy Antigens Associated with Allergic Reactions

• Gly m Bd 30k – Found in high levels in soy-sensitive individuals with atopic dermatitis
• Kunitz Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor – Potent soy antigen capable of inducing anaphylaxis in allergic individuals

Genetically Modified (GMO) Soy Antigens

• Cry1Ac GMO Protein – A pesticidal crystal protein antigen found in genetically modified (GM) soy

These markers help identify a full range of signs of a soy allergy, including both classic and lesser-known reactions.
