Program Summary:
Practitioners often order diagnostic tests for food allergy incorrectly or inappropriately. Current diagnostic tests, especially serum allergy testing, have the potential for false positive tests. Due to this, food allergy is often over-diagnosed, causing many people to unnecessarily avoid foods and have unnecessary fear regarding reactions.
Objectives
