Lima Bean (f182) IgE details
What Lima Bean (f182) IgE shows
Lima beans, also called butter beans, are legumes eaten cooked in soups, stews, side dishes, and succotash. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to lima bean proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing problems after eating them. Lima beans share similar proteins with other legumes, such as peanut, soy, peas, and other beans, so a positive result may reflect cross-reactivity rather than a separate allergy. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms and history of reactions.
