# Ginger

> This test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to ginger. It helps show if your immune system views ginger as a threat, which could explain symptoms like skin rashes, swelling, or stomach upset after eating it. This information helps distinguish a specific allergy to ginger from reactions caused by other foods or environmental triggers. However, this test alone cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or diagnose a non-allergic food intolerance.
