A member asked:
I get terrible gut aches after i eat bananas? is there an allergy test for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Allergy tests for food are most helpful if a person has a history of a systemic reaction immediately after eating a food. This may include itchy mouth and throat, vomiting, hives and itching all over, swelling of the tongue or throat, asthma attack and allergic shock. Isolated stomach reactions to foods aren't allergic and dont carry the risk of shock. There are no allergy tests for this.
