Cheese Cheddar Type

The Cheese Cheddar Type test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in cheddar cheese. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Since cheddar cheese is derived from milk, this test is closely related to milk allergies. People who are allergic to milk proteins, such as casein or whey, may also react to cheddar cheese, as it contains these same proteins. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to cheddar cheese, 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.
