Cabbage (f216) IgE details
What Cabbage (f216) IgE shows
Cabbage is a widely eaten vegetable from the same family as broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, used raw in salads and coleslaw and cooked in many dishes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to cabbage proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice mouth itching, hives, swelling or digestive symptoms after eating cabbage. A positive result shows sensitization, and you may also be sensitized to related vegetables. Cabbage allergy is uncommon, and IgE shows sensitization rather than confirming allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
