# Allergen Profile, Food−Berry

> This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in berries. It helps show if your immune system is overreacting to these fruits, which is useful if you have symptoms like hives, swelling, or nausea after eating them. This information helps distinguish between a potential allergic reaction and other causes of discomfort, such as food intolerance. However, a positive result only indicates sensitization and cannot confirm a clinical allergy diagnosis without a doctor reviewing your specific medical history.
