Food Allergy Testing

[jenvan]

Hey all-- Know where you can get additional food allergy/intolerance testing? I feel like there are some other intolerances I have besides the obvious Celiac ones. I thought I heard of a place where you could do testing via mail... Anyone know? Gracias!

York labs does testing for I think 110 or so different foods.

Yes, I had testing with York Lab for 113 food allergies. I was satisfied with their service.

If you go to your doctor, GI or regular, you can have a blood panel done for allergies.....

I have been wondering about this... for those of you with gluten sensitivity and celiac who have had the IgG food allergy testing -

Did your testing show any reaction or sensitivity to gluten, wheat, rye, barley or malt?

I know that celiac is NOT the same as an allergy, but both do involve the immune system.

We had our allergy testing done through the allergists office - they used Alletess Labs. I have a feeling that there is only a few labs who actually do this testing and many other local labs outsource their work to them. My test report format is the same as the test from another lab. Alletess requires that a blood sample be drawn (i.e. doctor visit). York is the only lab I know that will do the testing from a pinprick sample of blood.

Thanks,
