Gluten, IgE

This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat. It helps determine if your immune system views gluten as a harmful invader, which can cause immediate allergic reactions like hives or breathing problems. This measurement helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other digestive issues. However, this test does not diagnose Celiac disease, which involves a different type of immune response and requires specific testing.
