[quote=Anonymous]We found the tests to be rather useless. We tackled our food allergies by having all of us (child <1, breastfeeding mom and in-this-together-dad) go on an elimination diet for 8 or so typical allergens for one month. We added one item at a time every two weeks and looked for reactions. Yes, this was a total pain and took forever but it did narrow things down to the actual allergic items. Google up "elimination diet for allergies". Dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, corn and the rest of the likely suspects. Good luck! We made it through and (at age 5) our child is eating everything. Mom, interestingly, is off of wheat which we found caused her to be fatigued and she is now feeling much better.[/quote]
