"Regular allergy tests didn’t show much, but I tried an IgG food sensitivity test, and it gave me some clues. Honestly, though, what worked best for me was an elimination diet. I cut out wheat and dairy for a while, then slowly added things…"

"I had injections in my eyebrows when my FFA was first diagnosed. It hurt a lot, and didn't help. I think my brows were just too far gone by that point. I know it does work for some people, though. "

"If you've been tested and found that you don't have any allergies to food, it may be non-food. I did the intolerance test through intolerancelab.co.uk very quickly. The results came in a few days by email. I found out that I was allergic…"
"Some allergies you may have from birth, while others appear over time. That's why it's best to get allergy tests at regular intervals. To minimize the chance of getting allergies, I eat only healthy foods. My wife is supportive, so we…"

"You might be allergic to gluten. I had something similar in the past. I think that you need to make sure that you are not suffering from cileac disease, so I would suggest you go and get tested. "
"I looked at their web site and the price is reasonable. They test the lgG reactivity and that is what you want. I did not take a sensitivity test. They were not available when I started this journey. When they were new they were very pricey. By that…"

Food Allergy Testing question
Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back negative for all foods.I notice a lot of scalp itching after eating wheat, and I was just wondering if I should get a food panel blood test at some point.
