To prevent allergy, you should ideally begin with the childhood.By allergy the immune system react against a substance that it is not supposed to react against, and the reaction is often exaggerated. Objects containing substances that commonly cause allergy are domestic dust, animal hair, household chemicals, chlorine, microorganisms, pollen, nuts, citrus fruits and seafood. Also bacteria and parasites can cause inappropriately strong immune reactions.
The total set of reactions occurring by allergy is very complicated. Many of these are the same as by normal immune reaction, even though they occur when they should not take place, Here are listed some of these reactions:By exposure to a new substance, cells in the immune system learn to recognize that substance (allergen), and it learns to produce anti-bodies towards the substance, and a certain amount of antibodies is produced. The type of anti-bodies called IgE is the most important by allergic reactions.

Building on GwenStefni's Comment:
YES IgE antibodies are measured to determine Enviro Allergy AND Immediate FOOD Allergy presence / degree > These IgE Values for EACH offending / test Surfaced Allergen are used to Custom Formulate YOUR Allergy ImmunoTherapy DROPs.
Your IgE FOOD Values will indicate your Immedciate FOOD Allergy Sources.
BUT... IgE antibodies Do NOT Surface / Identify YOUR Delayed FOOD Allergy Sources..
These can ONLY be determined via a IgG / IgG4 BLood Test Vs traditional Skin Prick Test.
Once YOUR Offending FOODs are Surfaced via your Allergy Test ..
You recevie a Custom FOOD Allergy DIET Plan > suggesting FOODs to EAT, not Eat, Restrict & Re-Introduce.
Beginning at BIRTH > ALLERGY is a Chronic Auto-Immune Disease that 24 / 7 / 365 / A LifeTime > Compromises Your Immune System's Ability to Fight What Counts Vs Harmless Cat, Dust ect Allergens.
FREE UP Immune System Capacity > Drop Your Allergies.
