Brussel Sprouts (f217) IgE details
What Brussel Sprouts (f217) IgE shows
Brussels sprouts are a vegetable from the cabbage family, related to broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to Brussels sprout proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice itching in the mouth, hives, swelling or digestive symptoms after eating them. A positive result shows sensitization to Brussels sprouts, and you may also be sensitized to related vegetables in the same family. Allergy to this vegetable is uncommon, and IgE shows sensitization rather than confirming allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
