Rape Seed (rf316) IgE details
What Rape Seed (rf316) IgE shows
Rapeseed is the seed of the oilseed rape plant, a member of the mustard family, and is the source of canola oil and rapeseed meal. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to rapeseed proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. Exposure can come from foods containing the seed or flour, or from dust when the seed is handled or processed at work. A positive result can help explain food reactions or breathing symptoms linked to rapeseed. Rapeseed proteins can cross-react with mustard. Refined oil contains very little protein. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
