Food allergy testing?

[adkmom]

Just wondering if anyone has done food allergy/sensitivity testing for their PANDAS child? Tics come and go. No sign of infections or sinus problems...but wondering if I should investigate food testing? I know some of the kids react to Food dyes but would like to know for sure if that could be triggering symptoms.

 

Thanks everyone.

My ds's skin and blood tests show he's "allergic" to almost everything, yet he's never had an anaphylactic reaction to anything!! We're tried a rotation diet to see if that made a difference, but had to abandon that due to very low weight, and a nightmare to do with a picky eater! So what does this all mean? Still haven't got a logical explanation, even from the allergist! From what I've read here, PANDAS kids fall into either the "over-reactive immune system" (my child, rarely gets the usual bugs that go around) or the "under-reactive immune system" ie. kids always coming down with infections or IGA deficient. The over-reactive group explains them being susceptable to PANDAS and autoimmune disorders. Sorry, I'm not much help here, but it's probably worth a try getting it checked, I believe the more information you have, is always a better way to go, and you never know what you'll discover along the way!
