Poppy Seed (f224) IgE details
What Poppy Seed (f224) IgE shows
Poppy seeds are small seeds used on bread, bagels and pastries and in fillings and dressings. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to poppy seed proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, itching or breathing symptoms after eating foods containing poppy seed. Seed allergens can sometimes cross-react with tree nuts or other seeds, so results are often read together. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be interpreted alongside your symptoms and history.
