What it measures
- Rye-specific IgE — Antibodies made by the immune system that target rye proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, not specific to rye.
- Wheat-specific IgE — Often checked alongside rye because the grains are related.
- Barley-specific IgE — Another related grain that may cause similar symptoms.
Preparation
No fasting is required. You do not need to stop any medications unless your clinician tells you to.
Results and what they mean
