Default allergy test results

ok; her blood allergy test results came back
she's allergic to:

food class

corn 2
soybean 2
rice 2
lamb 2
pea 2
duck 1
yeast 1

the vet said she has very low level; and he said she doesn't really have food allergy; since she was eating purina pro plan that has the above ingredients (lamb, rice , corn..) ; he concluded that maybe some dust mites got on the dry food and she ate it; thus triggering the allergy reaction.
for now she will stay on the iams low residue since she's doing well on it (which has corn grits); we won't know if she's allergic to it, until we stop the prednisone therapy.
she's down to once daily dose of prednisone; in one week she will be down to one dose every other day for another 4 to 6 weeks.

this is the scale range of the classes
0 abscent or undetectable
1 very low level
2 low level
3 high level
4 very hight level
5 ultra high level
6 ultra high level

classes represent IgF anitibody specific for the respective allergen; consider class 2level and greater for allergen immunotherapy.
