# Asparagus

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to asparagus proteins. It helps show whether your immune system identifies asparagus as a threat, which is useful for investigating symptoms like itching, swelling, or digestive issues after eating it. While this measurement helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other sensitivities, it cannot predict the severity of a future reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a doctor reviewing your medical history.
