Food Allergy: This is the problem with random testing for foods. You have eaten this for your whole life. You are not allergic to milk. Just because you have the allergic antibody means nothing unless you have symptoms. It is a false positive.

See answer: Though allergies can occur at any age, merely having a "positive" allergy test does not mean you have an allergic condition. Often, patients will have large allergy panels done by skin testing or blood testing. In the absence of symptoms, these are largely unnecessary. The delivery issues are most likely not related to your testing.
