About Tomato Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Gaithersburg
Tomato allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to proteins found in tomatoes.
Tomato allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies tomato proteins as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them. These antibodies bind to immune cells and trigger the release of chemicals such as histamine when tomatoes are eaten or sometimes touched.
Symptoms can include itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, eczema, swelling of the lips, face, or throat, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In rare cases, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis can occur, which requires immediate medical attention.
A blood test for tomato-specific IgE antibodies can help assess sensitization. Results are interpreted alongside a person's medical history and symptoms, as a positive test alone does not always confirm a clinical allergy.
