About Kiwi Fruit Allergy Test | Fruit Allergies in Marrero
Kiwi fruit allergy is an immune response triggered by proteins in the fruit, and it can range from mild oral itching to more serious reactions.
Kiwi contains several allergenic proteins, including actinidin and thaumatin-like proteins, which the immune system can mistakenly identify as harmful. In sensitized individuals, the body produces IgE antibodies that bind to these proteins and can prompt the release of histamine and other mediators.
Symptoms of kiwi allergy may include tingling or itching of the mouth and throat, swelling of the lips or tongue, hives, abdominal discomfort, or in some cases more severe reactions. Because kiwi is often eaten fresh or blended into other foods, exposure can be easy to overlook when symptoms appear.
A blood-based IgE test can support the evaluation of kiwi sensitivity, but results are interpreted together with a person's medical history and reported symptoms. Sensitization on a test does not always mean a clinical allergy will occur, and a negative result does not completely rule out a reaction.
