Guest guest Posted November 15, 2001 Report Share Posted November 15, 2001 Thought you would be interested in this info. A lot of parents have used this on the lists I am on. Also, it is good for our kids--no blood draw (just finger stick, done at home) and no scratch tests. A bit high (but not bad if you consider this tests for 113 different food allergies at one time), but if you can get your regular physician to write a script for it, some insurances might take it. After all, " you are what you eat!

Muriel , Chief Executive of the British Allergy Foundation commented, " The IgG tests conducted by York Nutritional Laboratories assisted people in identifying the foods causing their problems.
