Grape (f259) IgE details
What Grape (f259) IgE shows
Grapes are eaten fresh and as raisins, and are used in juices, jams, wine and vinegar. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to grape proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this fruit. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, swelling or digestive upset after eating grapes or grape products. Grape allergy can be linked to proteins shared with other fruits and plant foods, so reactions to related foods sometimes occur. 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.
