Positive on nut allergy skin test but bloodwork showed negative so the doctor said I had no allergies. Sound correct? When I had the routine nut allergy panel I tested positive to cashews, however the bloodtest showed negative so the doctor says I have no allergies.Is this typical - and more importantly, does that seem completely accurate or should I ask for a retest on the skin?

The test is not 100% correct. Try undergoing another test at other laboratory for 2nd opinion. My advice to you is don't tell the doctor or the medical technologist that you have just done your allergy test in order not to preempt the result.

You may try 2nd and 3rd opinions. Just to see if what prevails, whether it's a negative or not. Medical practitioners are just humans also so they may be wrong sometimes with their findings but seek a doctor and a medical technologist in your place who are really highly reputable so you can get reliable result.

If in the third time you get negative result you get negative, then you should be happy. Sources: OWN OPINION.

Important to note that even with a negative test score, about a third of patients of peanut allergy fail the challenge. Here is a very interesting and informative study:download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdf... a look at this interesting study and an innovative treatment for a nut allergy:askaboutmypeanutallergy.com/weblog/food/... quick search for “food allergies” on the Internet will lead you to hundreds of sites offering all types of tests and miracle cures for your ailments. Many of these are scams that been demonstrated to be ineffective.

The following tests should be avoided because research demonstrates they not proven to be valid:allergyexpert.us/food/foodallergydiagnos... is impossible to measure for food allergy IgG ELISA/EIA because there is no acceptable gold standard in food allergy testing to measure this against. This leads us to the question of validity of food allergy testing via IgG ELISAs. tldp.com/issue/174/IgG%20Food%20Allergy.... found that both of these tests were helpful, but it does not take the place of what's still considered the 'gold standard,'" said Bassett."If you can tolerate the food and you don't have a negative reaction, then that speaks for itself.

So the food challenge can still be very important, and if you don't do a food challenge you might miss something. Which is why a consultation is very, very important. The physician can make a decision with the family and the patient as to what tests to conduct.

This happened to me on a n.a.e.t. Test. The Elisa test or Great plains allergy test did work.

You can tell if you are allergic by your pulse, temperature, sweat, etc. Tests were often wrong on many different health issues for me.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
