Goat Milk (f300) IgE details
What Goat Milk (f300) IgE shows
Goat milk is used as a drink and in cheeses, yogurt and some infant and specialty foods, and is sometimes tried as an alternative to cow's milk. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to goat milk proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain hives, swelling, vomiting, digestive upset or breathing problems after consuming goat milk products. Goat milk proteins are very similar to cow's milk proteins, so most people allergic to cow's milk also react to goat milk. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and history, and an allergist may advise on further evaluation.
