food allergy testing Ige

It's not sufficient to go for food allergy testing and leave it up to the doctor to determine if you have a food allergy.

Allergy skin testing puts tiny amounts of allergens onto your skin to see which ones you react to. Based on this, your doctor can determine your treatment.

For example, a skin testing may reveal that you have a severe food allergy to wheat, which is the most allergenic of all cereals because quantities of IgE antibodies are found in their kernels.

People with allergies have an antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E). IgE  causes an excessive reaction to allergens.

After testing, however, you have to take responsibility as well and track your daily/weekly eating habits to determine what happens when you eat a particular food.
