Allergy Testing

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Germantown, TN

Has anyone had blood tests done and am wondering how extensive a test needs to be. The ones I am looking at goes from basic all the way to hundreds of dood
Just wondering if the more extensive, more expensive test is necessary.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

is this an IGG blood test or IgE? if former , dont bother , not reliable or worth money
also any allergy doc or test for hundreds of food is not a sign of a decent qualified allergy doctor.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Shavertown, PA

I was told to try wild Oregano tablets as supplements, sometimes this helps
