What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that can be associated with an allergic reaction to garlic. It is one type of food allergy blood test, and results are interpreted together with your medical history and other findings.

What it measures

  • Garlic-specific IgE — reflects the level of antibody in your blood that may be linked to garlic allergy
  • Total IgE — sometimes measured to give context for overall allergic antibody levels
  • Other food-specific IgE — may be included if a broader food allergy panel is ordered

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when someone reports symptoms after eating garlic or garlic-containing foods, such as hives, stomach upset, or breathing changes. It can also be used to help evaluate suspected food allergies when skin testing is not possible or practical.

Preparation

In general, no special preparation is needed for a blood draw, but follow the instructions provided by the collection lab. Tell the lab about any medications you take, because some may affect testing.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as a numeric level or a qualitative category, such as negative or positive, based on the lab's method. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so your clinician will interpret the findings in the context of your symptoms.

Before you go
