Broccoli (f260) IgE details
What Broccoli (f260) IgE shows
Broccoli is a vegetable from the cabbage family, along with cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to broccoli proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice itching in the mouth, hives, swelling or digestive symptoms after eating broccoli, raw or cooked. A positive result shows sensitization to broccoli, and you may also be sensitized to related vegetables in the same family. Broccoli allergy is uncommon, and IgE shows sensitization rather than confirming allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
