Garlic (f47) IgE details
What Garlic (f47) IgE shows
Garlic is a widely used seasoning in cooking and processed foods, and it is also handled in large amounts by people who work with food. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to garlic proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, digestive upset or breathing problems after eating garlic, or reactions from handling or inhaling garlic dust. Garlic can also cause contact skin reactions that are not IgE-related. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and history, and may be considered alongside onion and related foods.
