# Galactose-Alpha-1,3-Galactose (Alpha-Gal), IgE, Serum

> This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies your immune system creates against Alpha-Gal, a sugar found in red meat and mammal products. It helps show whether a delayed allergic reaction to foods like beef, pork, or lamb might be caused by this specific sensitivity, which is often linked to tick bites.
