Why This Biomarker Matters
A positive result indicates a corn allergy. This helps you avoid allergic reactions and identify corn in hidden food sources.
Overview
This test detects IgE antibodies against corn protein, identifying allergic sensitivity to corn. Corn is a common food ingredient found in many products beyond fresh corn, including corn oil, cornmeal, and corn syrup. A positive result indicates your immune system reacts to corn proteins, potentially causing allergic symptoms ranging from oral itching to more severe reactions. This test helps confirm suspected corn allergies and guide dietary choices.
