Allergen Profile, Food−Citrus

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in citrus fruits. It helps show whether your immune system is hypersensitive to these fruits, which is useful if you experience itching, swelling, or hives after eating them. This analysis helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other causes of discomfort, such as acid reflux or general food intolerance. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and cannot predict exactly how severe a future allergic reaction might be on its own.
