Anyone ever do food Allergy Tests?i was told you can test to find what foods your allergic to.I cant remember where but someplace you can buy a food Allergy Test and do it yourself or mail it in i think.does anyone know anyhting about this?

I went to an allergist last month, and he tested me for (supposedly) everything. however, nothing screamed out at him when he looked at my arms, afterward. I think that blood tests are more accurate, because there is a difference between an allergy, and being intolerant to a certain food. Just because the allergy tests says you aren't "allergic" to something, doesn't mean it doesn't (or hasn't) irritated you in some way before.

oh i dont understand that part about you're arms but anyway i think i know waht you mean about the foods.

When you go to an allergist, they inject the allergen into you- either each individually with a syringe, or with this thing that seems like a stamper, with tons of needles in it, to do many tests at one time. (It's really funky looking). WHen I had mine done, they did the food tests in my forearms.
