Allergen, Individual-Food Coconut Narial (Cocos Nucifera) F36

The Allergen, Individual‑Food Coconut Narial (Cocos Nucifera) F36 test is a laboratory‑grade specific IgE assay designed to detect sensitization to coconut proteins. Performed on a blood sample collected at home by a trained phlebotomist, the test measures coconut‑specific IgE to help determine whether symptoms after coconut exposure are likely IgE‑mediated. Results provide quantitative values used by clinicians in Dubai and across the UAE to support diagnosis, risk assessment and management planning for food allergy.

This test is important for anyone who has experienced hives, angioedema, wheeze, vomiting, abdominal pain or anaphylaxis after ingesting or coming into contact with coconut, or for patients with atopic dermatitis where a food trigger is suspected. It is also useful when clarifying sensitization before supervised oral food challenges, planning elimination diets, or advising on safe ingredient use in homes, schools and childcare settings in the UAE. As with all sIgE tests, results should be interpreted together with clinical history by your healthcare provider to distinguish sensitization from true clinical allergy.
