What it measures

- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody in the blood, sometimes used for context.
- Related allium-specific IgE — Checks for reactions to similar foods such as onion, leek, or chives.
- Component markers — Specific proteins in garlic that may help show which part triggers symptoms.
