Why This Biomarker Matters

Identifying spinach allergy allows you to safely manage your diet and avoid unnecessary food restrictions. If positive, you can take precautions to prevent allergic reactions during meals.

Overview

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.
