Tomato allergy confirmed by quest diagnostics bloodwork. should i be tested for other related foods or allergies? if so, which ones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tomato allergy: The Quest diagnostic test measures IgE anitbody in your blood that binds to protien/allergen isolated from a tomato. It does not prove allergy insomuch as it proves that you have a higher level of this antibody compared with the general public. Food allergy needs to be addressed/diagnosed by an Allergist. If true, you need to carry an epipen (epinephrine). Would not rec empiric testing to other foods.
