Allergen, Individual-Food Lentil (Moong dal) F235

The Allergen, Individual-Food Lentil (Moong dal) F235 test measures specific IgE antibodies to moong dal (lentil) in a patient’s blood to identify immunologic sensitization to this food. The service is provided with convenient at‑home sample collection by trained staff across Dubai and the UAE, with samples analysed in accredited laboratories to deliver quantitative results for clinical interpretation.

This test is useful for individuals who experience immediate or recurrent reactions after eating lentils, for guiding safe dietary choices, and for preparing clinicians to plan further management such as supervised food challenges or specialist referral. A detectable specific IgE indicates sensitization but does not alone confirm clinical allergy; results should be interpreted alongside clinical history by an allergist or treating physician in the UAE before making dietary or treatment decisions.
