Guar Bean Gum (f246) IgE details
What Guar Bean Gum (f246) IgE shows
Guar gum is a thickening agent made from the seeds of the guar bean, a legume. It is used in ice cream, sauces, gluten-free baking and other processed foods, and as a powder in industries such as food production, textiles and carpet manufacturing. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to guar gum to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions after eating foods that contain it, or nasal and asthma symptoms in people who handle the powder at work. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and exposure history.
