Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 I did indeed verify that they will food test him by skin tests. She said there is a blood test but that it is not as good as the skin tests. I explained in great detail just how difficult it was going to be to do skin tests on my son. We agreed that I would bring things in (like a potato, cooked rice) but that we would not do the skin testing if I did not want to after the doctor consultation. In addition, she said that on the skin tests we would not do any seasonal allergies. There is a list of standard tests they have, so I won't have to bring into the office things like corn, milk, wheat, etc. I called a DAN doctor in my area who does allergy testing. They wanted to do nearly 100 skin pricks on him, and insurance will not cover it. It would be a grand out of pocket for the various visits and lab tests. Anyone else try skin testing on a 3 year old who goes ballistic when a doctor tries to look in his/her ears? Luster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
