Sweet Potato (f54) IgE details
What Sweet Potato (f54) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to sweet potato proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this root vegetable. Sweet potato is eaten baked, mashed, fried and in baby foods, so exposure can start early in life. Testing can help look into symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling or vomiting after eating it. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your body has made IgE to sweet potato, but it does not by itself prove a clinical allergy. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated allergy less likely. Results are interpreted against your symptoms and history.
