What it measures
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level; helps show if allergies are likely.
- Cheddar-specific IgE — Antibodies directed at cheddar cheese proteins.
- Milk-specific IgE — Antibodies to cow's milk proteins, which are present in cheddar.
- Casein-specific IgE — Antibodies to a major milk protein that remains in aged cheeses.
- Whey-specific IgE — Antibodies to another milk protein; helps clarify the trigger.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw, and tell your clinician about any medications you take.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as numbers that show how much specific IgE was found, often grouped as low, moderate, or high. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
