# Allergen Profile, Food−Meat

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in various meats. It helps show whether symptoms like hives, stomach pain, or swelling after eating meat are caused by an immune system reaction. This information helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other digestive issues, such as food intolerance. However, this test cannot confirm a diagnosis by itself, as a positive result indicates sensitization but does not guarantee a physical reaction.
