Order Lettuce Allergy Test | Food AllergiesA lettuce allergy is uncommon but real. When the immune system mistakes a protein in lettuce for a threat, it produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that trigger symptoms ranging from oral itching to hives. The Lettuce Allergy Profile measures IgE antibodies against lettuce in a blood sample, giving a clear view of whether sensitization is present.
About Lettuce Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Holland
The Lettuce Allergy Profile is an IgE antibody blood test for lettuce.
IgE antibodies are the immune proteins most often linked to immediate allergic reactions. This test uses a blood sample to measure the level of lettuce-specific IgE, which can help identify sensitization when symptoms appear after eating lettuce or foods containing it.
Lettuce belongs to the daisy family, and reactions can occur with romaine, iceberg, butterhead, and other varieties. Some people react to lettuce alone, while others have sensitivities to related plants such as chicory or mugwort, a pattern known as cross-reactivity.
Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and symptoms. A positive result indicates that IgE antibodies to lettuce are present, but it does not by itself confirm that lettuce is the cause of a reaction. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated lettuce allergy less likely, though other types of reactions are possible.
