# Paprika/Sweet Pepper

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood specifically directed against paprika and sweet peppers. It helps show whether your immune system is reacting to these foods, which is useful if you experience symptoms like itching, swelling, or stomach pain after eating them. This analysis helps rule out paprika or sweet peppers as the specific trigger for an allergic reaction. However, it cannot diagnose food intolerances or sensitivities, nor does a positive result alone confirm you will always have a reaction.
