Blood testing for food allergies isn't very accurate.
There are also a lot of false positives.

I agree. But it can be a good place to start. By eliminating the "positives" and feeding those things that don't show up. In our experience, we began feeding Ginger a food that didn't contain any of her "allergens" and fed only that for several months. Then we tried slowly introducing one thing at a time. So far, the tests have held up, as everytime I tried to reintroduce something into her diet, it doesn't go well.

I also only try new foods in the winter when most of her allergies are "in remission" so to speak (I know, wrong terminology )


So for us, it was an extremely helpful place to start.
