Hives: Maybe the hives are related to more than just foods. It seems like you need to consider further blood testing to see if there is an alternative diagnosis causing the hives since you have avoided all the "supposed" food triggers and she is still getting hives. Skin testing someone with acute hives should never be done. Skin is already highly reactive.
