Question 1

can i lower my ige?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Treatment of atopic disease, such as atopic dermatitis or asthma, can result in lowered IgE.  The B-cells that make IgE depend on certain signals in the body to live and produce antibody.  Time, changes in environmental/food/drug exposure, medicating specific diseases can all result in decreases in both total and specific IgE levels

Question 2

only about 1/100th of 1 percent of the amount of igg.
