Allergen Profile, Grains (IgE)

Diagnostic Blood Test:

• IgE Wheat
• IgE Rye
• IgE Barley
• IgE Oat
• IgE Corn
• IgE Rice

The Allergen Profile, Grains (IgE) test evaluates the presence of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to various grain allergens in the blood. This comprehensive panel includes tests for IgE antibodies against Wheat, Rye, Barley, Oat, Corn, and Rice. IgE antibodies are central to the body’s allergic response, and their detection is essential for diagnosing and managing grain-related allergies.

• IgE Wheat:
  Measures IgE antibodies specific to wheat proteins. Elevated levels indicate a sensitization to wheat, which can lead to allergic reactions such as hives, asthma, or anaphylaxis upon exposure.

• IgE Rye:
  Assesses IgE antibodies targeting rye allergens. High IgE Rye levels suggest an allergy to rye, potentially causing respiratory symptoms, skin reactions, or gastrointestinal distress after ingestion.

• IgE Barley:
  Detects IgE antibodies against barley proteins. Increased IgE Barley levels are associated with allergic responses to barley, including allergic rhinitis, eczema, or severe systemic reactions.

• IgE Oat:
  Evaluates IgE antibodies specific to oat allergens. Elevated IgE Oat levels may indicate an oat allergy, which can manifest as skin irritation, digestive issues, or respiratory problems upon contact or consumption.

• IgE Corn:
  Measures IgE antibodies targeting corn proteins. High IgE Corn levels suggest an allergy to corn, potentially resulting in symptoms like itching, swelling, digestive upset, or respiratory difficulties after exposure.

• IgE Rice:
  Assesses IgE antibodies specific to rice allergens. Elevated IgE Rice levels indicate a rice allergy, which can cause allergic reactions ranging from mild skin rashes to severe anaphylactic responses.

This Allergen Profile, Grains (IgE) test is invaluable for individuals experiencing unexplained allergic symptoms, particularly those related to respiratory issues, skin conditions, or gastrointestinal disturbances after consuming or being exposed to grains.
