Description

Order a Rye Allergy IgE Blood Test to detect an allergy to rye. This test measures the amount of allergen-specific antibodies in a blood sample. Rye is one of the most unusual and hardy cereals available. Rye is widely used in bread-making, alcohol fermentation, paper production, the timber industry, as well as fuel and livestock feed. Rye allergens have a lot of cross-reactivity with other cereal grains, including wheat and barley, but only a little with oat and potato extracts.

Common rye allergy symptoms could include:

hives
itching
swelling of the tongue, lips, or throat
rash
diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
in severe cases, anaphylaxis
