Food allergy: There are all kinds of food allergy panels that can be done at once, but are you sure you have a food allergy? Do you reliably get the same symptoms each time with eating a particular food? Rash? swelling? Wheezing?

See Allergist: Blood tests for food allergy are notoriously difficult to interpret (and often misinterpreted) without substantial information about your food history. Do not eliminate foods from your diet that you have been tolerating based solely on the blood test. If possible, skin testing and oral food challenges need to be incorporated into a complete work up. In short, discuss with an Allergist.
