Cultivated Oat (g14) IgE details
What Cultivated Oat (g14) IgE shows
Cultivated oat is a cereal grass grown for grain, and its flowering plants release pollen in late spring and summer. This test measures IgE antibodies to oat pollen to check whether your immune system is sensitized to it, which is different from a reaction to eating oats. A positive result can help explain seasonal sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes or asthma, especially for people living near or working in fields. Oat pollen shares proteins with other grass pollens, so a positive result often reflects wider grass sensitization. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
