What it measures
- Specific IgE to green bell pepper — Measures the amount of allergy-related antibody (IgE) in your blood that binds to green bell pepper proteins.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured to give a general sense of your overall allergic tendency, though it is not specific to green bell pepper.
- Cross-reactive allergens (optional) — May include related proteins like profilins or lipid transfer proteins, which can help explain reactions to other foods.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.

Results are reported as a numerical level of specific IgE, often with a reference range. A higher level may suggest sensitivity, but a clinician must interpret the result alongside your symptoms and history.
