A member asked:

I hear so much abt allergic reactions that i've started avoiding peanuts, fish, etc, even tho i have no food allergies. overreacting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The guidelines that are published for evaluation and treatment of food allergies do not recommend testing without a prior reaction/symptoms after eating. If you have never had any problems with a specific food, avoiding them proactively would be unneccessary. I do admire your desire to be proactive though.
