Speedoc Telemedicine App X Allergy Test Review

What is Allergy?

Allergic reactions occur when the immune system identifies the allergen as harmful and overreacts by releasing chemicals like histamine.

We all know that a severe allergy would require immediate medical attention and can cause serious illness or even death if not treated quickly. For milder ones, we may end up with itchiness and rashes. These allergies that we commonly know are called Type I food allergy (IgE-mediated) which usually develop symptoms within minutes to a few hours of ingestion.

Type III Food Allergy (IgG allergy)

What most people don’t know about is Type III food allergy (IgG-mediated), which is also known as food intolerance. The symptoms only occur a few hours or even days after ingestion of a trigger food.
