Cabbage Allergy Test

This IgE antibody allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic to cabbage.
Cabbage is a good source of antioxidants and vitamins C, A, B-1, and B-2. The leaves are often used as a cooked vegetable in soups and stews, but can also be left uncooked and shredded in salads and coleslaw. The leaves are also sometimes fermented and made into sauerkraut. 
Allergic reactions to cabbage are rare, although possible. If the immune system mistakes cabbage for a “dangerous” protein, within a few minutes to an hour of coming into contact with cabbage it will begin producing IgE antibodies. These antibodies are made to protect the body but the symptoms of this reaction can be mild to life-threatening. Immediate medical attention is needed if you suspect the symptoms are that of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. 
Symptoms of an allergic reaction to cabbage may include:
