Gulf Flounder (f147) IgE details
What Gulf Flounder (f147) IgE shows
Flounder is a mild white flatfish eaten in many cuisines. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to flounder proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this fish. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing problems after eating flounder, or from breathing in cooking vapors. Many people allergic to one fish react to others, because a protein called parvalbumin is similar across many species. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history, and an allergist may advise on further evaluation.
