Food sensitivity test

[Guest Guest_efgh]

All

 

Can you tell me which is the best test to check food sensitivities - skin prick or blood (Ige) ?? Which test did you all take and how authentic/reliable are the results? How long did it take for the results to come out? Is it necessary that we take this test periodically or is it required to be taken only once? Do allergies remain CONSTANT?

thanks for your responses..

Hi efgh,

 

Our doctor ordered the blood test for delayed food allergies. I think it's IgG but better double check with someone who's been at this longer than me. The test from Metametrix in Georgia was back in about less than two weeks (maybe sooner because I wasn't called right away). As for the rest of your questions, I'll be eagerly awaiting the answers as well! Good luck to you and your son.
