Fig (Ficus carica) (f328) IgE details
What Fig (Ficus carica) (f328) IgE shows
Fig (Ficus carica) is a fruit eaten fresh, dried and in baked goods and jams. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to fig proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this food. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, swelling or digestive upset after eating figs. Fig allergy can be linked to sensitization to related plants, such as the weeping fig houseplant, and to latex. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and history, and an allergist may use additional testing to confirm a true food allergy.
