Why are False Positive Results in Food Allergy Testing so Common? with David Stukus, MD

#125: Did you know that up to 50% of positive food allergy test results are false positives? Parents are ALREADY anxious about introducing allergenic foods and widespread testing when not indicated is making anxiety worse.   In this episode, leading allergist Dr. David Stukus is bringing us the TRUTH about food allergy testing: why it’s so rampant, why in most cases it’s not indicated and why FOOD and in-home oral food challenges are the best bet for “testing” whether or not your baby is allergic to a food.   If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
