What is the best food intolerance panel to run and what company is best to use for it?

Personally, I prefer the 30-food allergen panel ordered by Dr. Scott Swarthout, a chiropractor whose Fresno, California office is situated to the north of Kaiser Permanente (8455 N. Millbrook Ave.). Dr. Swarthout will order the test be performed by Diagnos-Techs, Inc., a clinical and research laboratory in Kent, Washington (6620 S. 192nd Pl., J-104, Kent, Washington 98032 (425/251-0596).

Holdthegluten,

I used Alletess Medical Laboratory, for my food sensitivities. They ran a panel for 96 different foods. I was sensitive to 21 of them including wheat and gluten. Thus started my gluten free life style. The test at the time was about $100.00. They can be reached at www.foodallergy.com

I have been thinking about getting one of these tests myself lately. I found this article on IGG allergy testing that sounds kind of negative though. As in the results may not be reliable depending on the materials used for the testing. I can't say I understand all of what she said, but it sounds like the doctor found some holes in the process some labs use for testing.

I've been wanting to do this as well. Can't our doctors (Allergists) run the test or are they (the tests) too specialized? That way, insurance will pay. Has anyone gone to an Allergist or their family doctor to have the tests run? Just wondering.

I had the diagnos=techs test for gliadin and it came back negative. My blood work was wildly positive and I had an endoscopy with scalloping.
