Cow's Milk (f2) IgE details
What Cow's Milk (f2) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to milk proteins, used to check for a milk allergy — one of the most common food allergies in infants and young children, though many children outgrow it by school age. A positive result, combined with a history of reactions after consuming milk or dairy, supports a milk allergy diagnosis. This is distinct from lactose intolerance, which is a digestive issue involving an enzyme deficiency rather than an immune/allergic reaction, and isn't detected by this test.
Tests that include Cow's Milk (f2) IgE
The test measures an individual's allergic reaction to cow's milk by quantifying IgE antibodies. This test is performed in a lab and helps in diagnosing food allergies when combined with other clinical evaluations.
- Cow's Milk (f2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies specific to milk proteins, used to check for a milk allergy.
The Food Allergy Basic Panel measures IgE response to 6 common food allergens.
- Codfish (f3) IgE
- Cow's Milk (f2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies specific to milk proteins, used to check for a milk allergy.
- Egg White (f1) IgE
- Peanut (f13) IgE
- Soybean (f14) IgE
- Wheat (f4) IgE
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 17 foods (with an emphasis on tree nuts) that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.

This panel combines the Regional Allergy Panel 2 and the Food Allergy Basic Panel to measure IgE antibody levels in response to 6 common food allergens and 21 airborne allergens. It helps identify potential allergic reactions to foods and environmental triggers such as pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust mites.
