What did your test say? I'm curious.
I did my allergy test today also, and get this-I'm not allergic to anything! I don't have an IgE reaction to anything so I've been diagnosed with VMR vasomotor rhinitis, a type of nonallergic rhinitis. Basically it's not an allergy, but all the allergens trigger it. I was given flonase, astelin and a saline nasal rinse kit.
I've been having nasal allergy symptoms, and basically having other allergy like symptoms for the last few months. With all the talk about food allergies I decided to check it out myself.
But I know that there are some foods that when I eat I feel not so good. I asked about the IgG test that someone else mentioned on a different thread, but my doctor said they didn't do it and that IgE was an adequate indicator of allergic reactions.
I know that when I eat too much bread/yeast type foods I feel tired and sluggish, melon gives me an itchy tongue, something I'm eating gives me hives. The doctor did say that my food problems were non-allergic reactions to food, that they don't cause an IgE reaction.
I was in a hurry to get back to work and didn't feel like asking questions.
Has anyone else had this happen? You suspect you have a food allergy but don't really?
Be careful if you are thinking of doing an allergy test to see if there are hidden food allergies interfering with weightloss. I just spent $265 for them to say no. (I had to pay the deductable first and co-pay.)
