What is the procedure for food allergy testing?
How do I tell my food allergy doctor which foods I think I’m allergic to?
Food allergies are common among every age group, and can sometimes arise later in life. It is also common for some people to have allergic reactions to certain foods as a child, and then later in life lose the allergy. For these reasons, it is often a good idea to get tested by our expert food allergist nearby in Miami for food allergies throughout all stages of life if you are experiencing pain or discomfort that may be associated with your diet. At Piniella Asthma and Allergy Centers in South Florida, we have three locations that provide accurate and timely food allergy testing and treatment regularly, and for everyone in the family. Rather than making appointment months in advance with your primary care physician and getting a referral to a food allergy specialist in Miami, you can save time and peace of mind by coming into Piniella Asthma and Allergy Centers for all of your food allergy testing and treatment needs. We have three locations throughout South Florida, which are in Miami and Palmetto Bay.
The food allergy testing process can be confusing at first, so our allergy and asthma specialists have highlighted some of the most common questions that they receive below:
There are various ways to test for food allergies. One of these is through skin testing, which involves placing an extract of a specific food on the skin, lightly pricking the skin, and waiting to see if a dermal reaction occurs on the skin. This is not a painful process but can take some time and involve patience, especially for children. Another way to provide testing is through blood samples, which can take a bit longer to provide allergy results, but is an effective and accurate way to assess allergies.
Some individuals who come into our clinic to see our food allergist have a very good idea of what they are allergic to and want to confirm this through a food allergy test. But many patients may not know what they are allergic to and need our help finding out. Our food allergist in Miami will complete an assessment of your symptoms, medical history, environment, and diet to better understand what foods may be giving you uncomfortable or painful allergic reactions.
