What is the definition or description of: food allergy profile?

Dr. Thomas Klein answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

A batch of tests: A food allergy profile could refer to a panel of skin tests placed on the arm or back or a panel of blood tests. Blood tests are generally more expensive and less reliable than skin tests. Skin tests also give immediate answers whereas blood tests require days for the results to come back.
