Oat (f7) IgE details
What Oat (f7) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in oat, a cereal grain eaten as oatmeal, granola and in baked goods. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating oats. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to oat, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Oat shares some proteins with other cereals and grass pollens, so cross-reactive positive results are possible. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
