What it measures
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic-type immune activity; it does not by itself identify yeast.
- Yeast-specific IgE — Antibodies directed at baker's yeast; the main marker used to assess a possible yeast allergy.
- Specific IgE to related molds — Checks for cross-reactivity with molds such as Candida or Aspergillus, which can resemble yeast reactions.
- Specific IgE to wheat or other grains — Helps separate a yeast reaction from a wheat or grain allergy.
- Specific IgE to other foods — May be added to look for additional triggers when symptoms are unclear.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about antihistamines, steroids, or other medicines, since some can affect antibody results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms, diet, and other tests, because a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
