Can you get false negative results in food intolerance test if taking antihistamine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food testing: Food intolerance testing is not scientifically based, meaning this is not a good test. The best test for food intolerance is to eliminate one food at a time to see if symptoms improve. Food allergy testing (specific IgE testing via blood or skin) is a scientifically validated test and is used for patients with history of hives, itching, swelling, wheezing, coughing, vomiting, etc soon after eating
