Sheep milk Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against sheep milk proteins, indicating allergic sensitization to sheep dairy products. Unlike cow milk, sheep milk is less common in typical diets but found in specialty cheeses and yogurts. People with cow milk allergies may also react to sheep milk due to protein similarities, though some tolerate it better. Elevated sheep milk-specific IgE suggests risk of allergic reactions with potential symptoms ranging from mild (itching, hives) to severe (anaphylaxis). This test is particularly relevant if you consume specialty dairy products or have unexplained allergic symptoms after eating sheep dairy.
