Rice (f9) IgE details
What Rice (f9) IgE shows
Rice is a staple cereal grain eaten worldwide and found in many processed foods, cereals, flours and drinks. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to rice proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, itching or digestive upset after eating rice. Rice can also be inhaled as dust where it is processed. Grains share some proteins with each other and with grass pollen, so low positive results can occur without symptoms. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
