How Does An Allergist Test For A Food Allergy

How does an allergist test for a food allergy?

Your allergist will talk with you about your reaction to the food and determine if food allergy testing is needed. Your allergist may test for a food allergy by performing skin prick testing or ordering serum IgE testing to the specific food. In some situations an oral food challenge may be performed as well.
