- Get Allergy Testing
Food Allergy testing is not 100% accurate, and in fact, doctors will often tell you if there is conflicting results between your allergy testing, and your food diary results - to go with your experience over the results.
Some doctors say the blood tests are more accurate than the skin prick tests, some doctors say the reverse. When I had allergy testing done I had a wide range of tests that did not include corn! Be sure to find out before the testing is done, exactly what will be tested so you will not have to go through any procedures more than once.

And as always, use your best judgement.
