Plum (f255) IgE details
What Plum (f255) IgE shows
Plum is a stone fruit related to peach, cherry and apricot, eaten fresh, dried as prunes, or in jams and baking. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to plum 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 plums. In some people, reactions are linked to birch pollen allergy, since similar proteins occur in both, and these tend to be milder with raw fruit. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms.
