Quinoa (f347) IgE details
What Quinoa (f347) IgE shows
Quinoa is the seed of a plant related to spinach and beets, cooked and eaten like a grain and common in gluten-free foods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to quinoa proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling or digestive upset after eating quinoa. Quinoa is not a true cereal grain, so it is not related to wheat. Its outer coating contains saponins, which can cause irritation unrelated to allergy. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms.
