About Green Pea Allergy Test | Food Allergies in Matthews
Green peas are a common legume, and for most people they are a harmless part of the diet. For a smaller group, the immune system identifies pea proteins as a threat and produces IgE antibodies against them.
IgE antibodies bind to specific proteins in green peas. When those proteins are encountered again, the antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals, which produce allergy symptoms.
Symptoms of a green pea allergy can include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or tongue, stomach upset, vomiting, or in more serious cases, difficulty breathing and a drop in blood pressure. Reactions vary widely between individuals.
A blood test detects the presence of pea-specific IgE without exposing the person to the food itself. Results are reported as a numerical value and are interpreted alongside a person's medical history and reported symptoms.
