Quick answer
The Lettuce Allergy Test detects IgE antibodies against proteins in lettuce. Lettuce is a leafy vegetable used in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Allergy to lettuce is uncommon but can cause oral itching, hives, or digestive symptoms, and reactions may also occur after handling the leaves. The test helps determine whether an allergic sensitization to lettuce is present.
What this test measures
Lettuce allergy involves an immune response to proteins in the leaves. Several varieties, including romaine, iceberg, and butterhead, are used in food. Some people with pollen allergy react to lettuce because of cross-reactive proteins, a pattern seen with certain fresh vegetables.
The test measures specific IgE antibodies to lettuce in a blood sample. A detectable level indicates sensitization, which may or may not be accompanied by symptoms. Results are interpreted with the food history and any related pollen sensitizations. A food and symptom diary can add helpful context for the clinician.
Testing may be considered when someone reports itching, tingling, hives, or digestive discomfort after eating lettuce, or skin symptoms after handling it. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the result and advise on management. Noting whether symptoms follow raw or cooked lettuce can be helpful.
