Can you have allergy tests redone if on Xolair, or would the results be

inaccurate?

I had them done again 3 years after being on Xolair. Your doctor might

do things differently though.

I had to be off all antihistamines 2 weeks before the tests. Thats all.

Well, don't keep us in suspense, Doug! & nbsp;

& nbsp;

What were the results (if you don't mind sharing them)? & nbsp; I mean, had your

allergies improved, changed to other allergens, gotten worse? & nbsp; Was any

comment made about Xolair having any impact on the allergies? & nbsp; Why did the

doc run the allergy tests? & nbsp;

& nbsp;

Thx!

I was re-tested this past fall.  The previous time before that was over 25 years

ago. So even thought I was already on Xolair for 2 years, we wanted  to do the 

" caterpillar " test "  , just to see what Xolair has done for my allergies.. This

time around   I scored 1's  on almost everything I had scored 4's on years ago. 

One thing that I wasn't " allergic " to years ago, but am now are tomatoes. 

Imagine my surprise, since I LOVE tomatoes and they are a main staple in my

diet.
