Rice Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to rice.

Rice is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world and is the third-highest produced commodity in the world. Rice allergies are relatively uncommon but are possible. 

A unique attribute of rice allergies is that some people may experience reactions from breathing in the steam from cooked rice, not just from touching or eating it. Inhaling rice steam has been reported to spur an asthmatic reaction, so it is important to avoid the food in all forms if an individual finds they are allergic to rice. 

Symptoms of an allergic reaction to rice may include:

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Itching
• Asthma
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• A dry cough
• Stomachache
• Eczema 
• Skin rashes and swelling
• Anaphylaxis (a severe life-threatening allergic reaction)
