Q: Why should I get a food allergy test?
A: You should consider a food allergy test if you experience symptoms like itching, hives, swelling, digestive issues, or anaphylaxis after eating certain foods. The test helps pinpoint the exact allergens causing these reactions.
Q: What types of food allergy tests are available?
A: Common tests include the skin prick test (introducing allergens into the skin to observe reactions), blood test (measuring IgE antibodies to specific food proteins), and oral food challenge (consuming suspected allergens under medical supervision).
Q: How is a skin prick test performed?
A: Small amounts of potential allergens are applied to your skin using a tiny needle or pricker. The skin is then observed for any reaction, such as redness or swelling, which indicates an allergy.
