What it measures
- Millet-specific IgE — Antibodies made by the immune system that can recognize millet proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in the blood.
- Other grain-specific IgE — Checks for reactions to similar grains such as wheat, barley, or rye.
- Serum tryptase — A marker sometimes used to look at severe allergic reactions.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required for a millet allergy blood test. Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements you take, because some drugs may affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range or class. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have a true allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
