Sheep Milk (f325) IgE details
What Sheep Milk (f325) IgE shows
Sheep's milk is used to make cheeses such as feta, pecorino and Roquefort, as well as yogurts. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to sheep's milk proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, digestive symptoms or breathing problems after eating sheep's milk products. Sheep's milk proteins closely resemble those in cow's and goat's milk, so people with cow's milk allergy often react to it, and some people react only to sheep or goat milk. Milk allergy is different from lactose intolerance. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
