Pecan Nut (f201) IgE details
What Pecan Nut (f201) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in pecan nut, a tree nut eaten on its own and in baked goods and desserts. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating pecans. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to pecan nut, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Pecan is closely related to walnut, so people sensitized to one often test positive to the other. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
