What this test is

This is a blood test that looks for immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies directed at raspberry proteins. IgE antibodies are part of the immune response that can trigger allergy symptoms. The test is used along with your history and a physical exam, not by itself.

What it measures

  • Raspberry-specific IgE — reflects the amount of allergic antibody directed at raspberry proteins
  • Total IgE — sometimes included to show the overall level of allergic antibody in the blood
  • Other berry-specific IgE — may be measured if related berries are also suspected triggers

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. 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 such as hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing changes after eating raspberries. It can also be used when the cause of a reaction is unclear and other common triggers have been ruled out.

Preparation

In general, no special preparation is needed for a blood allergy test, but follow the instructions given by the collection lab. Tell the lab about any medicines you take, because some can affect test results.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a level of raspberry-specific IgE, often with a qualitative category such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so results should be interpreted by your clinician in the context of your symptoms.

Before you go

  • Whether any medicines you take could affect the test
  • How and when you will receive your results
  • Whether a follow-up visit is needed to discuss the findings
