Your test result
The alpha-gal IgE result and the related markers included in the panel you ordered.
Tasso+ at-home blood collection*
Could this be alpha-gal syndrome? How can I find out?
Most people call it alpha-gal. AlphaGalTest starts with the question patients actually have: do these symptoms fit, what testing makes sense, and what should happen next?
Built from clinical experience helping hundreds of patients sort through alpha-gal concerns, testing decisions, and follow-up questions.

How it works
Start with testing, or start with a visit if you already have results.
A provider visit is not required to order AlphaGalTest. A visit is recommended when you already have results, symptoms are complex, or you want help turning results into a safer plan.
Need a test result?
Compare Alpha-Gal Plus and Deluxe
Choose one panel, collect at home, then review the result with the symptom story.
Already have results?
Start with a provider visit
Initial visits are $169. Follow-up or monitoring visits are $99.
01
Recognize the alpha-gal pattern
Delayed timing, tick exposure, mammal-derived foods, mixed symptoms, and reaction triggers can make the pattern easier to miss.
02
Choose whether to test
Choose one focused panel: Alpha-Gal Plus for the core question, or Alpha-Gal Deluxe when broader mammal-based food and carrageenan context matters.

03
Interpret the result before deciding what comes next
The written review connects the lab findings with timing, mammalian-food exposure, tick history, reaction factors, and what remains uncertain. If you already have results, start with a provider visit before automatically repeating testing.
Pricing clarity
Estimated testing total before optional visits: about $230-$250. Exact due-today and lab-analysis amounts are shown before checkout.
Testing does not automatically require a visit. If you already have a Quest, Labcorp, or another alpha-gal result, start with interpretation before automatically ordering another test.
Report context
Testing is paired with timing, symptoms, exposure history, and things that can change reactions before next steps are recommended.
Already have a result?
Could this result mean alpha-gal syndrome?
Yes—we can help you make sense of what the test shows, how it fits your symptoms and timing, and which next step may be useful. A lab value can raise the question, but it cannot answer it alone.
Bring the result you already have. It can be reviewed alongside mammalian-food exposure, tick history, symptoms, and factors such as alcohol or exercise that can change a reaction.

Three questions before deciding what comes next

How it may fit
The timing of symptoms, mammalian-food exposure, tick history, and factors that can change a reaction.

What comes next
What appears consistent, what is still uncertain, and when a provider review may be useful.
Illustrative format only. A laboratory result does not diagnose alpha-gal syndrome by itself; symptoms, timing, and clinical review still matter.
Who provides each part?
One focused pathway, with each role made clear.
Clinical review led by Mark Pruitt, APRN, FNP
AlphaGalTest
The focused public pathway for alpha-gal education, testing choices, and practical next steps.
Allermetrix
The laboratory partner that fulfills standard at-home collection kits and performs the laboratory analysis.
Allerim
The clinical platform for secure intake, clinician-reviewed reports, result delivery, and optional follow-up care.
Pattern snapshots
The pattern is easier to see when the timing is visible.
Tick exposure, meal timing, alcohol, exercise, illness, stress, symptoms, and test results make more sense when they are reviewed together instead of one event at a time.
Pattern snapshot
Pattern
It often starts with a tick bite
A tick bite can sensitize the immune system to alpha-gal and start a pattern that is easy to miss at first.
Likely starting route
Review tick history, symptom onset, and whether testing is appropriate.
Common questions
Testing should clarify the next decision.
Start with the question you need answered, then use the result with timing, exposure, and clinical context rather than treating one number as the whole conclusion.
Why results can differWhat does alpha-gal testing help clarify?
Alpha-gal testing helps clarify whether delayed, mixed, stomach-heavy, or nighttime reactions may fit alpha-gal, especially when paired with tick exposure and reactions after red meat or other mammal-based foods.
Does AlphaGalTest use Tasso+ collection?
The at-home Allermetrix collection path is built around Tasso+ blood collection when the selected panel supports that route. Testing still requires order setup, patient information, consent, and provider review before fulfillment continues.
Is testing enough by itself?
No. Testing is one signal. The practical value comes from interpretation with symptom timing, exposure history, things that can change reactions, and clinical follow-through rather than treating the lab result as a stand-alone answer.
When should someone choose a broader path instead?
A broader Allerim path may fit better when symptoms involve many foods, environmental triggers, existing results, immune recovery, or a complex medical history rather than a focused alpha-gal question.
When alpha-gal may not be the whole story
Need broader help with food reactions or recurring symptoms?
AlphaGalTest stays focused on alpha-gal. If the pattern is broader, Allerim can help review symptoms, testing, health history, food reactions, and follow-up together.
- Broader food reactions
- Immune-pattern questions
- Testing decisions
- Follow-up and monitoring
The broader front door
AlphaGalTest stays narrow so the alpha-gal question is easier to answer. Allerim is the broader immune health front door.
Continue to AllerimChoose the first move
Alpha-gal testing should be interpreted, not just reported.
Start with Plus or Deluxe when you need a focused test. Start with a provider visit when you already have results or the symptom and safety questions need clinical review.
Testing does not guarantee a diagnosis, prescription, Living Food Plan, or visit. Trouble breathing, throat swelling, fainting, severe chest symptoms, or suspected anaphylaxis need urgent or emergency care.
