Lima Bean

This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to lima beans. It helps determine if your immune system treats this food as a threat, which is useful for investigating symptoms like itching, swelling, or digestive trouble after meals. This screening helps rule out whether lima beans are the specific cause of a reaction compared to other foods or intolerances. However, this test cannot diagnose an allergy on its own or predict how severe a future reaction might be.
