Avena sativa Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against oat proteins, indicating a potential oat allergy. While oat allergies are less common than wheat allergies, some individuals develop immune reactions to oat proteins. Symptoms may include oral itching, hives, or gastrointestinal upset. True oat allergies differ from celiac disease; people with celiac disease typically tolerate pure, uncontaminated oats. A positive result helps distinguish oat allergy from other grain sensitivities and guides dietary decisions regarding oat-based products.
