Buckwheat
Understanding Buckwheat
What is Buckwheat?
* If you have symptoms suggesting an allergic disorder like periodic or persistent itching, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, eczema, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing etc. * It tests the level of IgE in the blood.
What does Buckwheat measure?
The Buckwheat test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in buckwheat. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially upon consumption of buckwheat or its products. It helps doctors distinguish a buckwheat allergy from other food sensitivities or reactions. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to buckwheat, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Interpreting Buckwheat results
Interpretations
* If your total IgE level is increased, it usually indicates that you are suffering from one or more allergies. Sometimes, increased levels are also associated with parasitic infections. * An elevated IgE indicates an allergic process but does not indicate what a person is allergic to. In general, the greater the number of things a person is allergic to, the higher is the IgE level.
