Does response to Xolair happen only if IgE is very high?

[Guest guest]

I'll be starting Xolair next week. My doctor says he can't predict who

Xolair will help the most based on their IgE levels - some with very

high levels respond well, some don't and some with low-end levels

respond well, some don't. My IgE varies from about 75 to 130, so it's

not extremely high. Although I have very bad nasal and skin allergy

symptoms, I'm wondering if my asthma is mainly triggered by reflux

(mine is severe) and infection, and whether the Xolair is likely to

make a difference in my case. Would appreciate hearing from folks with

lower IgE levels and bad reflux as to whether Xolair helped.
