Apium graveolens Ab.IgE
Detects IgE antibodies in your blood that react to celery allergens.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Identifying celery allergy helps you avoid allergic reactions and safely select foods, as celery appears in many cuisines, broths, and prepared foods.
Overview
This test detects IgE antibodies to celery (Apium graveolens), indicating an allergic response. A positive result suggests a potential IgE-mediated celery allergy, which could trigger symptoms from mild oral itching to severe reactions. Celery allergies are more common in Europe and may involve cross-reactivity with birch pollen and related vegetables. This test helps confirm celery allergies and guides dietary avoidance, important since celery is used in many foods, seasonings, and broths.
