Ginger (f270) IgE details
What Ginger (f270) IgE shows
Ginger is a root used as a spice in cooking, baked goods, drinks and herbal products. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to ginger proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this spice. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, swelling or digestive upset after eating ginger, or reactions from handling ginger powder. Spice allergy can be hard to pin down because spices are often hidden in mixed foods. 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.
