Food allergy is not a diagnosis to take lightly! Every year 100-200 die
from allergic reactions to food and up to 30,000 episodes of
anaphylaxis.
20-28% of people report that they have a food allergy. In reality only
6-8 % of children and 4% of adults have a food allergy.
Many people are erroneously placed on restrictive diets that
cause malnutrition and in children poor growth and development. Allergies
to more than a couple of non-related foods are is rare. For

The most reliable test for
food allergy is skin testing and RAST testing, both are falsely positive 40-50% of the time. A positive test
must be confirmed by oral challenges or by a strong history.
