Linseed

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to linseed, also known as flaxseed. It helps show whether your immune system identifies linseed as a harmful substance, which can explain symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive trouble after eating foods containing flax. This result helps doctors distinguish a specific sensitivity to linseed from other food allergies or intolerances. However, this test cannot predict the severity of a future reaction or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your clinical history.
