Cheddar Cheese (f81) IgE details
What Cheddar Cheese (f81) IgE shows
Cheddar is a hard cheese made from cow's milk, and its proteins, mainly casein, come from milk. This test measures IgE antibodies to cheddar cheese to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice hives, swelling, vomiting or other symptoms after eating cheese or dairy foods. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to cheddar cheese. Because cheese proteins come from milk, sensitization to cheddar usually goes with sensitization to cow's milk and is read alongside milk and casein results. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
