Does naturopathic allergy testing work well?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Buyer be ware.: There are many practitioners out there that are doing things that they call allergy testing that don't have any basis in science or reality. Be sure you see a board certified allergist for evaluation for allergy to be sure you are getting the best possible care!

No: There is no scientific evidence that naturopathic allergy testing is valid. Igg food testing has no value what so ever. The suggestions that igg causes food allergy is not true. Furthermore, with regards to food allergy it is the history which should elucidate the cause of the allergy with appropriate testing to support the history.
