# Kidney Bean

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood specifically targeting kidney beans. It helps determine if your immune system is reacting to this food, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive distress after eating. This testing helps rule out non-allergic food sensitivities as the cause of your symptoms. However, it cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or diagnose an intolerance that does not involve the immune system.
