This test detects IgE antibodies specific to spinach allergen. Though less common than other food allergies, some individuals develop allergic reactions to spinach, particularly those with oral allergy syndrome or pollen allergies. A positive result indicates allergic sensitization to spinach, which may cause itching or swelling of the mouth and throat, or more rarely, systemic allergic reactions. This test helps identify food allergens affecting your diet.

This test detects IgE antibodies against onion in your blood, indicating a potential allergic reaction to this common vegetable. Onion allergies are uncommon but can cause oral itching, throat swelling, or digestive symptoms. People with birch pollen allergies may experience cross-reactivity with raw onion proteins, while cooking often breaks down these proteins, making cooked onions safer. A positive result helps you understand your reaction triggers and guides your food choices and meal preparation.

This test detects IgE antibodies to lettuce, which can indicate a food allergy or oral allergy syndrome. Some people experience itching or swelling in the mouth when eating raw lettuce or other plant foods, especially if they have pollen allergies. IgE antibodies are produced when your immune system overreacts to a harmless substance. A positive result suggests lettuce may trigger allergic symptoms for you. This is distinct from a food intolerance and can help explain digestive or oral symptoms after eating lettuce.

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.

This test detects IgE antibodies against tomato proteins in your blood. A positive result suggests your immune system reacts to tomatoes, potentially causing allergic symptoms. Tomato allergies are often associated with birch pollen allergy (oral allergy syndrome), where raw tomatoes trigger itching or swelling of the mouth and lips. Cooked tomatoes are usually tolerated better. This test helps distinguish true tomato allergy from pollen-related reactions and guides dietary choices.

Carrot IgE antibodies indicate a potential allergic reaction to raw carrot protein. An IgE antibody test detects whether your immune system has become sensitized to carrot allergens. Elevated IgE suggests a true food allergy, commonly causing oral allergy syndrome with itching or swelling of the lips, mouth, and throat, particularly with raw carrots. This may be related to birch pollen allergy and typically resolves with cooking.
