Lentils (f235) IgE details
What Lentils (f235) IgE shows
Lentils are legumes eaten in soups, stews, curries, and salads, and lentil flour is used in some gluten-free and plant-based foods. Some people react to the steam from cooking lentils as well as eating them. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to lentil proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing problems after exposure. Lentils share similar proteins with other legumes, such as chickpeas and peas, so a positive result may reflect cross-reactivity. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms and history.
