Question: How do they test for really minor food allergies!?
Specifically tomatoes!.!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your GP could arrange to take a simple blood test called a RAST!. I have a mild allergy to chilies!. they produce a cough, sneezing and flushing about 20 minutes after I have eaten a meal which includes them!. Unfortunately I love spicy food, so I just accept it as a mild irritant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

go to an allergist and they will give you tiny little shots of certain things and see if any have a reaction!. I have had this done before!.


***EDIT***

Cramps in your abdomen after a meal is one of the signs of gall stones!. Possibly even kidney stones!. I would talk to a Dr about it!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

blood testing sometimes, not tooooo sure with tomatoes but my boyfriend is allergic to quite alot of things (nuts, eggs, fish!.!.!.) and he gets blood tests!.

edit: never met anyone allergic to tomatoes, how bizarre and wonderful! sure its not the eggs!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually if its minor they will tell you its not allergies but sensitivities!. They have you keep a food journal and write everything down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They force-feed you the specific food + if you die; you were allergic!Www@Answer-Health@Com
