Re: What type of IGG food allergy tests should we get done?

[Guest guest]

My son had a comprehensive IgG food panel test through Alletess Medical

(www.foodallergy.com) 3 years ago. I feel it was pretty accurate and very

helpful to know/confirm what to avoid. More recently, we rechecked the major

offenders, several of the main staples of his diet, and some environmentals--

both IgG and IgE blood test--through Allergy Research Associates. For the

severe IgG and IgE to Candida and Alternaria, they prepared drops for SLIT,

sublinqual immune tolerization.

next looking at getting him tested for allergies, etc. It was suggested that

the puffiness under his eyes may be from allergies so we would like to look into

that as well. What type of allergy testing should we get for him? Should we go

through an allergy specialist or just order the testing kit from Great Plains?

If so, what type of tests should we look at specifically? Questions, questions!!
