Chick Pea (f309) IgE details
What Chick Pea (f309) IgE shows
Chickpeas are legumes used in hummus, falafel, curries, salads and gram or chickpea flour. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to chickpea proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice mouth itching, hives, swelling, digestive or breathing symptoms after eating chickpea foods. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to chickpea. Chickpea belongs to the legume family, so sensitization can overlap with other legumes such as lentils, peas or peanut. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
