# Red Beet

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in red beets. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to this vegetable, which is useful for investigating symptoms like itching, swelling, or stomach pain after eating beets. This measurement helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other causes of digestive discomfort. However, it cannot predict exactly how severe a future reaction will be or diagnose food intolerances that do not involve the immune system.
