About Lettuce Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Springfield

The test detects sensitization to lettuce proteins by quantifying specific IgE antibodies in a blood sample.

IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to substances it identifies as threats. When they bind to proteins in lettuce, they can trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergy symptoms.

A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory for lettuce-specific IgE. Results are reported as a numerical value, often with a reference range that helps classify the level of sensitization.

A positive result indicates that IgE antibodies to lettuce are present. It does not by itself confirm that eating lettuce will cause symptoms, so results are interpreted together with the patient's history and other findings.
