The Oat IgE level test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to oats in the blood. IgE is an antibody produced by the immune system in response to allergens. This test is used to diagnose and monitor oat allergies or sensitivities.
The test can help identify individuals who may experience allergic reactions or symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, nasal congestion, asthma, or gastrointestinal issues after consuming oats. It is particularly useful for individuals who suspect they have an oat allergy or sensitivity.
