What is the food allergy test?

what is the procedure to test for food allergys?

I had two large blood samples drawn and they were sent to a lab in Seattle. The tests showed I was allergic to several kinds of food, including bovine dairy, peanuts, bananas, and so on.

I think it's called the ELISA test. The blood is tested against various foods to determine your allergic reaction. One plus for this test is that it can identify foods you are allergic to but the reaction doesn't show up immediately (IgE vs IgG).

The food allergies are mostly determined by eliminating the following foods from your diet: milk,eggs,corn,wheat&soy. remember to eliminate all foods containing these products also. do this for two or three days see if symptoms improve or worsen. if they are improving then add back 1 category ex. milk &milk products. in two days if tolerating the add in another category. also keep track of progress in journal.
