Oat, Cultivated

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in cultivated oats. It helps determine if your immune system views oats as harmful, which is useful if you experience symptoms like hives, itching, or stomach trouble after eating oatmeal. This testing helps distinguish a potential oat allergy from other food sensitivities. However, it cannot diagnose gluten intolerance or celiac disease, nor does it confirm an allergy without a clinical exam.
