Pumpkin (f225) IgE details
What Pumpkin (f225) IgE shows
Pumpkin is a squash eaten roasted, in soups, pies and other dishes, particularly in autumn. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to pumpkin flesh proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives or digestive upset after eating it. Pumpkin is related to other squashes, melons and cucumbers, so sensitization can overlap with these foods. It is tested separately from pumpkin seed. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
