Barley Pollen (g201) IgE details
What Barley Pollen (g201) IgE shows
Barley is a cereal crop in the grass family, and its pollen is released from the plants in fields during late spring and summer. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to barley grass pollen in your blood. It is used to check whether this grass pollen may be behind seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose or itchy eyes, especially near farmland. Grass pollens share many proteins, so a positive result often occurs together with sensitization to other grasses. This test is for pollen and is distinct from an allergy to eating barley. A positive result shows sensitization rather than proof of allergy, so it needs to be read against when and where your symptoms occur.
