Antone Know What The Ige Is?

I think I have asked this before but does anyone know really?

Should I take her to an allergy dr to find out?

Her norm IgE should be <30 and hers is 272 and the GI dr said it wasn't celiac related.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

IgE antibody is related to inhaled allergens and skin reactions...usually asthma and something called atopy.

The immune system produces at least five kinds of immunoglobulins (Ig) or antibodies (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM), but the principal one that participates in allergic reactions is immunoglobulin E, or IgE. Every individual has different IgE antibodies, and each allergic substance stimulates production of its own specific IgE. An IgE antibody made to respond to ragweed pollen, for example, will react only against ragweed, and not oak tree or bluegrass or any other kind of pollen. When the antibodies encounter the allergen they are programmed against, they immediately signal the basophils or mast cells to unleash histamine or other mediating chemicals into the surrounding tissue. It is these chemicals - mainly histamine - that cause the familiar allergic reactions. Histamine released in the nose, eyes, and sinuses, for example, stimulates sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. Released in the lungs it causes narrowing and swelling of the lining of the airways and the secretion of thick mucus. Released in the skin, it causes rashes and hives. And in the digestive system, it causes stomach cramps and diarrhea

Thank you for that.

I am worried about asthma because me and my older daughter have it and a few winters ago I started with Ezcema and last winter my older daughter too. But mainly when nicole gets sick I mean high fever lethargy etc she had trouble breathing she has to breath through her mouth,not that her nose is blocked but she works hard. When ever I took her to see a dr they never mentioned it. How can they tell if she has asthma? She will be 3 next month?

Thank You

Dear Nikki2003,

The IgE is the Immunoglobulin E antibody. It high levels of it indicate skin allergies. The bad news is, they are not that accurate in diagnosing food allergies. Despite the fact I am gluten intolerant, it did not show up in my skin tests. I too, have asthma and eczema. I had a lot of symptoms like your daughter when I was a child. I had broncchitis all the time. As far as diagnosing asthma goes, there is a test they can do for lung capacity at the hospital. I do not know if the accuracy is very good though. Many people with asthma experience a sensation in their chest and neck as if being squeezed. It usually occurred when I was exposed to cigarette smoke, during exercise, and when coming into contact with molds, dust, dustmites, pollen, or ragweed. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
