About Lima Bean Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Arlington
The Lima Bean Allergy Test measures IgE antibodies in the blood that are specific to lima bean proteins.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to substances it mistakenly identifies as threats. When a blood sample is tested against lima bean proteins, the presence of specific IgE antibodies suggests the immune system has been sensitized to that food.
A blood-based test is useful because it does not require consuming the food beforehand and does not carry the risk of triggering a reaction during testing. Results are reported as a numeric level that a clinician interprets alongside your symptoms and history.
Lima beans are legumes, a family that includes peanuts, soy, peas, and lentils. Cross-reactivity between different legumes can occur, so results are best reviewed by a healthcare professional who can consider the full picture rather than a single number.
