Cultivated Wheat (g15) IgE details
What Cultivated Wheat (g15) IgE shows
Cultivated wheat is a cereal grass, and its flowering heads release pollen in late spring and early summer. This test measures IgE antibodies to wheat pollen to check whether your immune system is sensitized to it. This is distinct from a wheat food allergy, which involves proteins in the grain and is tested separately, although some proteins are shared. A positive result can help explain seasonal sneezing, itchy eyes or asthma, especially near fields or grain handling. Wheat pollen also cross-reacts with other grass pollens. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
