Anyone else??? Allergy Test Result -- 3 ways of testing all different results???About 6 mths ago diagnosed severe milk allergy (Blood LgE Tests confirmed milk, peanut, onion, rice and mold allergies.) My symptoms still remain, slightest bit of milk = ER visit.
Went to specialist and did EVERY allergy test imaginable --skin prick test says house dust, crab and pennicilin allergies, inhalation test says cotton flock (?), in office milk taste test, horrible reaction but blood test says NOTHING!!
When I asked about the variation of results he said different tests are better for different things and that allergies were complex. He told me that I was allergic to ALL of the things that had every come up positive on a test, ESPECIALLY MILK which I am to avoid COMPLETELY and on forms and such I'm to write all of thoes things on form with a note that says, "Body highly overreacts to slightest increase of anti-histamine level."

Has anyone else had such a problem getting test results to match???

Hello "No More",
My girlfriend has had similar issues. Last year she burnt her lungs with a chemical cleaner. She suffered terribly for about a year. After she started feeling better she was having reactions consistently, due to the lung damage, her doctor did an allergy test with similar results to yours. Her doctor said that allergies affect different people different ways, and that also the allergies can change with time. He also said trauma to the lungs as she had could add to her allergic list. As a child she was allergic to milk, and had to drink goat milk. Now she can drink regular milk with no reactions.Dust mites and pet dander were her worst. I have recently come across an air purifier that has helped her significantly. If you would like any information on this let me know. Hope this helps.
