Order Barley Allergy Test | Grain AllergyBarley is a cereal grain used in breads, soups, malted drinks, and many processed foods.

This test measures the level of barley-specific IgE in a blood sample to help assess whether an allergic response to barley is present.
About Barley Allergy Test | Grain Allergy in Bend
Barley allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to proteins found in barley.
When a person with barley allergy eats or drinks something containing barley, IgE antibodies bound to immune cells can trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals. Symptoms may include hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, vomiting, or, in severe cases, difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis.
Barley belongs to the grass family and shares some proteins with wheat, rye, and other grains. Because of this, people with a barley allergy may also react to related grains, and the condition is sometimes linked to exercise-induced reactions after eating barley-containing foods.
This test uses a blood sample to detect barley-specific IgE antibodies. Results are reported as a numeric level that, together with a person's history and symptoms, can help a clinician evaluate sensitivity to barley. A positive result does not by itself diagnose an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule one out.
