# Allergen Profile, Food, IgE With Component Reflexes

> This test measures specific antibodies called IgE in your blood to see how your immune system reacts to various food proteins and their specific components. It helps show whether your body is sensitized to certain foods, which is helpful if you experience symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive trouble after meals. By analyzing specific protein parts, the test helps distinguish between a risk for a severe allergic reaction and a milder sensitivity caused by cross-reactivity. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not confirm you will definitely have a physical reaction, nor does it test for non-immune food intolerances.
