Banana (f92) IgE details
What Banana (f92) IgE shows
Banana is a widely eaten fruit, eaten fresh and in smoothies, baked goods and baby foods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to banana in your blood. It is used when symptoms such as itching in the mouth, hives, swelling or stomach upset follow eating banana. Banana shares proteins with natural rubber latex, so people sensitized to latex, or to some pollens, may also test positive to banana. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
