Allergen, Individual-Food Wheat Gehon (Triticum Aestivum) F4

This test detects and quantifies specific IgE antibodies to wheat (Triticum aestivum), including the Gehon (F4) allergenic component, from a small blood sample collected at home. It uses sensitive immunoassay methods to identify IgE-mediated sensitisation, helping distinguish true allergic reactions from non‑IgE food intolerances. Results support personalised management—such as targeted elimination, emergency planning, or referral for oral food challenge—and are suitable for use within Dubai’s clinical care pathways.
