Order Popular Vegetables Allergy Test | AllergiesA vegetable allergy is an immune response to proteins found in certain plant foods.

This screen measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to five widely consumed vegetables, helping to identify sensitization when a reaction is suspected.
About Popular Vegetables Allergy Test | Allergies in Gresham
The Popular Vegetables Allergy Screen is a blood-based panel that assesses allergic sensitization to five common vegetable allergens.
The panel uses a single blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against corn, carrot, peas, white beans, and potato. IgE is the antibody class typically involved in immediate allergic reactions, and elevated levels against a specific food can support a clinical diagnosis when combined with a history of symptoms.
Vegetables are less frequently implicated in food allergy than peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish, but reactions do occur. Symptoms may include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, eczema flare-ups, nausea, or in rare cases, more severe responses. Some vegetable proteins are cross-reactive with pollens or other foods, which can complicate interpretation.
Results are reported as quantitative IgE levels for each allergen. A positive result indicates sensitization, not necessarily a clinical allergy; some individuals have elevated IgE without experiencing symptoms. Conversely, a negative result does not entirely rule out a non-IgE-mediated reaction. Testing is most useful when interpreted alongside a detailed clinical history by a qualified healthcare provider.
