Testing.com: Because Your Health Matters
Food Allergy Test
Not everyone needs a food allergy test. According to Choosing Wisely, an educational initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation, if you get tested without guidance from a doctor and a doctor’s exam, the time and effort can be a waste. It could also result in needless false positive results — indicating you have an allergy to a food that you’re only intolerant of or don’t have any sensitivity to. Choosing Wisely goes on to point out that allergy skin tests can cost up to $300 a pop while blood tests can be as expensive as $1,000. While you certainly want to get tests if they’re medically necessary, the expense makes these tests prohibitive for appeasing simple curiosity.
