Order Lettuce Allergy Test | Food AllergiesA lettuce allergy test measures the presence of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against lettuce proteins in a blood sample.

About Lettuce Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Algonquin
Lettuce is a common salad green, and allergy to it is uncommon but documented.
Lettuce belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae, a plant group that includes other foods and pollens capable of provoking allergic responses. Proteins in lettuce can act as allergens, and individuals sensitized to them may produce specific IgE antibodies upon exposure.
Symptoms of lettuce allergy typically appear shortly after ingestion and may include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling of the lips or throat, or gastrointestinal discomfort. In rare cases, more severe reactions can occur. Because these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, laboratory testing provides objective information that can support a clinical evaluation.
This test uses a blood sample to measure lettuce-specific IgE. Results are reported as a quantitative or semi-quantitative value, and the interpreting clinician considers them alongside the patient's history and physical findings. A positive result indicates sensitization, which does not always equate to clinical allergy, while a negative result can help rule out IgE-mediated lettuce allergy.
