- Alpha-S1 casein (goat) specific IgE — Checks a common milk protein that can trigger reactions.
- Beta-lactoglobulin (goat) specific IgE — Checks another milk protein often linked to allergic responses.
- Serum total IgE — A general allergy-related antibody level, sometimes included for context.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about any medicines you take, especially antihistamines, because they may affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy.
