How to check allergens

It is best to be on an empty stomach before going to the hospital for examination and do not take anti-allergic drugs, which will affect the accuracy of the results.

Allergen testing is generally divided into in vivo testing and in vitro testing. In vivo testing includes three types: skin prick test, patch test and provocation test. In vitro testing is a method that uses the patient's serum or secretions for testing and does not require the allergen to enter the patient's body. Which method to choose depends on your personal situation and you should consult your doctor.

Select the allergens you want to test for. It is recommended that you choose foods that are easier to come into contact with in daily life, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, etc.

Some people may find out that they are allergic to almost all foods. Don't panic at this time. Because the test is more sensitive, the allergies caused by some foods may not be that serious, so you need to pay attention to the intake in your life and formulate a diet according to your own situation.

In daily life, you should pay attention to avoid foods that are likely to cause allergies. Try to avoid contact with allergens.
