A member asked:
I believe i have intolerances to some foods but unsure how to pinpoint which ones. what is preferred method? is there a lab test that would help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can have your blood tested for IgE antibodies to food antigens. However, trial and error with food intake, while laborious, is a more fruitful way to ascertain if you are intolerant to some foods.
