A member asked:
My blood results came back with food allergies, is it safe to eat those foods if no allergic symptoms occur?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Food allergy is diagnosed by taking a history. Skin testing and/or blood testing is utilized to support the clinical suspicion of food allergy. Skin testing / blood testing should never be done in the absence of a proper history documenting a potential food allergy ( with few exceptions). Based upon the results of one's history and testing, decisions can be made about consuming the food.

Ask doc: The issue is what kind of blood tests was ordered and what kind of doctor ordered these tests. A few doctors are ordering igg to food which has no meaning other than that you have been exposed to that food. Even an ige test may require a certain number of units to be valid. I suggest that you consult an allergist if you suspect that you may have food allergies.
