Gelatin

This test measures specific antibodies in your blood that react to gelatin, a protein derived from animal tissue. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitive to gelatin, which is useful for investigating reactions to foods like marshmallows or medical products like vaccines and gel capsules. This measurement helps distinguish gelatin sensitivity from other types of food or drug allergies. However, this test alone cannot predict the severity of a future reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your symptoms.
