What kind of food allergy test did you get? Was it the needles in the

back or the one where they draw your blood? deb

Deb,

If you are asking me about the allergy tests, it was the rows of needles down the back, years and years ago. What's the new technique? We have one allergist in our valley, and I only want to be tested for food allergies. I don't want the grass, trees, or mold tests. I'm positive on all those. But I want more specific tests done on food groups.

Deb, I got the needles scratches done in my arm and then 2 weeks later

they injected the allergens under the skin in the arm. It was not at

all painful. Loretta

I wasn't trying to be difficult. I just misunderstood what you were

saying. Thanks for explaining!

So how did you get your allergies sorted out?

Well there is another type that isnt always accepted as being medical

proof that is being used now. Its associated more with holistic

treatment. They take a blood sample and expose the blood to allergens

and look for a reaction in the blood. I dont know why its not as

accepted but it made sense to me that if your body reacts your blood

would also.
