About Cheddar Cheese Allergy Test in Bend
This panel uses a blood sample to assess sensitization to cheddar cheese.
The test detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind to proteins found in cheddar cheese. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, including hives, wheezing, and gastrointestinal upset after eating.
Cheese allergy differs from lactose intolerance, which involves the digestive enzyme lactase rather than the immune system. A person can react to the protein fraction of cheese even when lactose is removed or reduced, so a negative lactose intolerance assessment does not rule out a cheese allergy.
Results are reported as a quantitative IgE level for cheddar cheese and should be interpreted alongside a clinical history. A positive result indicates sensitization, not necessarily a clinical allergy, and a negative result may still occur in some individuals with non-IgE-mediated reactions.
