Pumpkin Seed (f226) IgE details
What Pumpkin Seed (f226) IgE shows
Pumpkin seeds, sometimes called pepitas, are eaten as snacks and used in breads, salads and seed mixes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to pumpkin seed proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, digestive upset or breathing symptoms after eating them. Seed proteins differ from those in pumpkin flesh, so pumpkin seed is tested separately. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
