Here is some info I saved from what I read;
normal is anything under 100.

Abnormal IgE levels can be a sign of parasite infection, an allergic reaction or some other environmental sensitivity

IgE is one of five types of antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, in the body. Immunoglogulins are produced by the immune system in response to bacteria, viruses, fungus and other allergens that have entered the body. IgE and the other antibodies attack the foreign substance in an attempt to prevent sickness and cellular damage.

     IgE antibodies are located in the lungs, skin and mucous membranes of the body. These antibodies cause reactions when a sensitive individual comes in contact with environmental allergens such as pollen, fungus spores and pet dander. Individuals who are allergic or intolerant to dairy or certain medications also will release IgE after ingestion.

     Individuals with hypersensitivity or several allergies and intolerances generally have a higher IgE antibody level.

IgE is one of five types of antibodies in the body. The others include IgA antibodies, which are found in the nose, throat, ears, tears, eyes, digestive tract, saliva, blood and vagina and are a defense against outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are the most common antibodies. They are found in all bodily fluids and are the body's defense against viral infection and bacteria.

Concentration of IgE is very low in the body. A normal IgE level is 4.2-595 U/mL or 0.05 percent of the IgG concentration. High IgE levels can be a sign of infection, allergic reaction, autoimmune disease or the presence of cancer.

IgE typically binds to mast cells and basophils but also to low-affinity receptors on inflammatory cells and platelets.

Evidence supporting the role of type I hypersensitivity in the pathogenesis of GN comes from reports of high levels of serum IgE (sIgE), its deposition in the kidney, IgE auto-antibodies (IgE, ANA in lupus nephritis), basophil sensitization and renal mast cells in IgA nephritis.

Mast cells express heparinase capable of degrading heparin sulphate in a sub-endothelial extracellular matrix. This provides a possible mechanism for the association between high IgE and selective proteinuria reported here.

Thats it folks... you learn alot of things surfing online!!
Thanks  to all of you for your kind words and well wishes
