Click a question to view the faculty's response:

  • At what age should I test my child for food allergies?

  • Does a skin prick test hurt?

  • The skin prick test was positive. Does that mean my child definitely has allergies?

  • I used an at-home IgG food sensitivity test for my child. It said that my child has many allergies. Should my child avoid these foods now?

  • My child's test results have gotten worse with each test over time. Does this mean his allergy is getting worse?
