Flaxseed (f333) IgE details
What Flaxseed (f333) IgE shows
Flaxseed, also called linseed, is used in breads, cereals, health foods and supplements, and in some cosmetics and animal feeds. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to flaxseed proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this seed. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, digestive upset or breathing problems after eating or handling flax. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history, and an allergist may recommend further evaluation before drawing conclusions about a true food allergy.
