Pineapple (f210) IgE details
What Pineapple (f210) IgE shows
Pineapple is a tropical fruit eaten fresh, canned, in juices and in many processed foods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to pineapple proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth or throat itching, hives or digestive upset after eating it. Pineapple also contains bromelain, an enzyme that can irritate the mouth in many people without any allergy being involved. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it is interpreted alongside your symptoms and history.
