Cocos nucifera Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against coconut proteins, indicating a potential allergic response. Coconut allergy is relatively uncommon but can trigger immediate reactions like itching, hives, or swelling in susceptible individuals. Some people with tree nut allergies may also react to coconut, though coconut is botanically a drupe, not a true nut. Reactions are typically mild, affecting the mouth and throat. A positive test confirms coconut allergy and helps guide dietary choices, particularly important for people avoiding multiple allergens.
