Common Millet (f55) IgE details
What Common Millet (f55) IgE shows
Common millet is a small cereal grain eaten as porridge, in gluten-free products and breads, and also used in birdseed. This test measures IgE antibodies to millet proteins to see whether your immune system has become sensitized to them. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling or digestive upset after eating millet, and some people are also exposed by handling birdseed. A higher level generally means a greater chance of sensitization, but not how severe a reaction would be. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
