Poppy Seed

This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to poppy seeds. It helps show whether your immune system treats poppy seeds as harmful, which is useful if you experience itching, swelling, or digestive issues after eating foods containing them. This measurement helps doctors distinguish a potential poppy seed allergy from other food sensitivities or allergies. However, this test alone cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your medical history.
