I went to Dr. Neumann-Sunshine for a suspected flu shot allergy. She is great and her bio says she treats food allergies, but you should call the office to check first. Good luck to you.

From her office website:


“Dr. Neuman-Sunshine graduated from The Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine. She completed residency in internal medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and fellowship in Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Johns Hopkins. She is board-certified in Allergy/Immunology. In 2019 and 2021, Dr Neuman-Sunshine was voted "Top Doctor" in Allergy & Immunology by Washingtonian Magazine. She has special interest in food allergies, nasal allergies, asthma, and eczema.“

As a teenager, I saw an ENT who suggested removing all dairy from my diet to see if it resolved my allergy and sinus symptoms. The improvement was dramatic. Over the years, I ate dairy on and off (try telling a teenager they can't eat pizza) but by the time I was in my 30s, I couldn't ignore it anymore. The only allergy testing I had was a skin test and it was negative (the old tests were inaccurate). I'm sure there's more accurate testing these days but the best test of all is to remove the food from your diet for a few weeks to see if the symptoms improve. Why waste so much time and money on confirming a diagnosis when you can do an elimination diet for this one thing?

I'd like to add that you really do need to eliminate all dairy including butter, milk chocolate, potato and corn chips with milk solids in the flavoring, Cheetos, ranch dressing, etc. Learn to cook your own meals because restaurants are not always honest about allergens.
