White Bean (f15) IgE details
What White Bean (f15) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this legume, which is eaten in soups, stews, baked beans and dips. It can help look into reactions such as hives, itching, swelling or digestive upset after eating beans. Legumes share some proteins, so sensitization can overlap with other beans, peas, soy or peanut. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a clinical allergy. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated bean allergy less likely. Results are interpreted against your symptoms and history.

- White Bean (f15) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to white bean to check for allergic sensitization to this legume, interpreted alongside any symptoms after eating it.
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 5 vegetables that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
- Carrot (f31) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to carrot to check for allergic sensitization to this vegetable, which can be linked to birch pollen allergy.
- Maize/Corn (f8) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to corn (maize) to check for allergic sensitization to this food, helping explain reactions that happen after eating it.
- Pea (f12) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to pea to check for allergic sensitization to this food, helping explain reactions that happen after eating it.
- Potato (f35) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to potato, a food allergen, to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this vegetable.
- White Bean (f15) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to white bean to check for allergic sensitization to this legume, interpreted alongside any symptoms after eating it.
