Mustard (f89) IgE details
What Mustard (f89) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in mustard, a seed used as a condiment and as a hidden ingredient in sauces, dressings and spice blends. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating foods that contain mustard. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to mustard, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Mustard can be hard to spot on menus, and sensitization may be linked to mugwort pollen in some people. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
