Allergy Testing

Some years ago I had skin testing for allergies on the skin of my back. The entire area reacted so badly that it was impossible to tell what the allergen was that caused it. Anyone here have anything like this? Karen

My allergist told me of a case like this. It turned out the person was allergic to the alcohol they used for prepping the site.

The only time they tried the skin testing with me they injected me with very diluted dust in my arm and I broke out in hives on my backand had an asthma attack. You should have them do the blood tests (RAST) instead. A lot safer for sensitive people. :)

Thanks! I will be seeing my PCP on Wednesday and will ask for it. Karen

I did the blood RAST tests for foods and also the scratch tests for foods and everything else. I reacted to everything but the foods and grass. I had a hard time metabolizing the mold allergens and ended up with a nasty cellulitis infection from it.

All in all a waste of time, I already knew I was allergic to everything in the air. :rolleyes:

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
