Order Mustard Allergy Test | Food AllergiesA mustard allergy test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that react to mustard proteins. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, so its presence at elevated levels can help a clinician assess whether a person is sensitized to mustard. Mustard belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which also includes foods such as broccoli, cabbage, and turnip, and reactions to mustard can occur after eating the seed, the prepared condiment, or foods in which mustard is a hidden ingredient.
About Mustard Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Tracy
Mustard is a recognized food allergen, and reactions can range from mild to severe.
Mustard is used as a condiment and as an ingredient in sauces, dressings, marinades, and processed foods, so exposure is not always obvious. In some regions, mustard is included among the allergens that must be declared on packaged food labels.
Allergic reactions to mustard are mediated by IgE antibodies. When a sensitized person encounters mustard proteins, these antibodies can trigger symptoms that may involve the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, or the respiratory system, and in some cases can progress to a severe reaction.
A blood test for mustard-specific IgE is one tool a clinician may use alongside a person's history and other findings. Results are reported as a quantitative level, and the significance of any given result is interpreted in the context of the individual's symptoms and exposure history.
