What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained symptoms like itching, hives, swelling, digestive issues, or skin reactions after eating foods that may contain wild rice. It helps identify whether you have a specific IgE antibody response to wild rice, which indicates a true allergic reaction. Many people use this test when they suspect wild rice is causing their symptoms but want concrete confirmation before eliminating it from their diet.

What's included in this test?

Allergen Specific IgE Rice Wild

This test measures Allergen Specific IgE to Wild Rice, which detects the presence and level of antibodies your immune system produces in response to wild rice proteins. Elevated IgE antibodies indicate your body recognizes wild rice as a threat and may trigger allergic reactions ranging from mild skin irritation to more serious symptoms like swelling or digestive distress.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your wild rice allergy test results mean for your health and dietary choices. These notes include personalized recommendations like which foods to avoid, how to read ingredient labels for hidden wild rice, and strategies for safe dining out. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your allergy markers over time using our trends feature to monitor changes or confirm if avoidance strategies are working.

Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for people who experience unexplained allergic symptoms after eating wild rice or foods containing it, such as soups, grain bowls, or specialty dishes. It's also helpful for individuals with known food allergies who want to identify additional triggers, parents investigating potential allergies in children, or anyone advised by their doctor to test for specific food sensitivities.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms that suggest a wild rice allergy include skin reactions like hives, redness, or itching, digestive issues like nausea, cramping, or diarrhea shortly after eating wild rice, and swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat. Some people also experience respiratory symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, or difficulty breathing, though these are less common with grain allergies.
How can I manage a wild rice allergy through diet?
If you're allergic to wild rice, the primary strategy is complete avoidance by reading ingredient labels carefully and asking about ingredients when dining out. Focus on safe grain alternatives like quinoa, regular white or brown rice, oats, or amaranth. Many packaged grain blends and soups contain wild rice, so always check labels, and consider working with a dietitian to ensure you're maintaining balanced nutrition while avoiding triggers.
What is wild rice and why does it cause allergies?
Wild rice is actually an aquatic grass seed, not a true rice, which grows in North America and is commonly used in grain mixes, soups, and side dishes. Allergies occur when your immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in wild rice as harmful invaders and produces IgE antibodies against them. This allergic response triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause symptoms like itching, swelling, and digestive upset.
What does a positive wild rice IgE test mean?
A positive result means your blood contains elevated IgE antibodies specific to wild rice proteins, indicating your immune system is sensitized to this food. This suggests you may experience allergic reactions when consuming wild rice, though the severity can vary from person to person. Your doctor may recommend eliminating wild rice from your diet and possibly carrying emergency medication if reactions are severe.
What does a negative wild rice IgE test mean?
A negative result means no significant IgE antibodies to wild rice were detected in your blood, suggesting wild rice is unlikely to be the cause of your allergic symptoms. However, if you still experience symptoms after eating wild rice, you may have a non-IgE-mediated food sensitivity or intolerance, or your symptoms may be related to a different ingredient. Consider discussing other testing options with your doctor.
How often should I retest for wild rice allergies?
If you've been diagnosed with a wild rice allergy, retesting is typically recommended every 1-2 years, especially in children, as some food allergies can diminish over time. Adults with established allergies rarely outgrow them, but retesting may be useful if you've had a prolonged period of strict avoidance and want to assess whether sensitivity levels have changed. Always consult your doctor before reintroducing wild rice into your diet, even if retest results show improvement.
