# Allergen Profile, Food−Nuts

> This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in your blood, which are proteins the immune system makes when it reacts to specific nuts. It helps determine if symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive issues are caused by an allergic reaction to nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, or pecans. This screening helps distinguish between a true food allergy and other types of food sensitivities. However, this test cannot predict how severe a future reaction will be or confirm a diagnosis without a doctor reviewing your specific symptoms.
