Allergen Profile, Sesame, IgE With Component Reflex

This test measures specific antibodies in your blood that react to sesame and its individual protein components. It helps show whether your immune system is sensitized to sesame, which is useful for evaluating symptoms like hives or swelling after eating seeds. This information helps doctors differentiate between a potential sesame allergy and other types of food sensitivities. However, this test cannot diagnose an allergy by itself or predict exactly how severe a future reaction will be.
