ASCA – IgA

The ASCA IgA test from Hypro Diagnostics is employed to identify ASCA, immune proteins associated with inflammatory bowel disease. While Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a common yeast found in various foods, is linked to this test, its direct connection to bowel issues is not fully elucidated. Symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, shortness of breath, itching, or throat tingling should prompt consultation with a healthcare provider and consideration of allergy testing. Elevated ASCA IgA and IgG antibodies in blood tests may signify an allergy to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Additionally, Hypro Diagnostics’ skin-prick test involves applying a diluted allergen to the skin, assessing any reaction after 5 minutes—redness in the area indicating a potential allergic response to the specific antigen. Seeking professional medical guidance for proper evaluation and diagnosis of symptoms or suspected Saccharomyces cerevisiae allergies is crucial.
