**Food Allergy Test – When is it needed?** We do food allergy testing **only when you get repeated immediate symptoms after a particular food**, such as: • Rashes / itching • Swelling of lips or eyes • Throat itching • Vomiting immediately after food • Sudden stomach cramps • Loose motion every time after same food • Breathing difficulty after food If these symptoms happen again and again with the **same food**, allergy testing is needed. **For acidity, gas, bloating, indigestion → mostly it is food intolerance, not allergy.** This is usually due to milk intolerance, wheat sensitivity, chana/rajma intolerance, oily/spicy food, irregular eating habits, or gastritis. **How to test?** • Skin Prick Test (SPT) – most accurate • Or Specific IgE blood test • For intolerance: elimination diet (stop the food for 2 weeks and recheck) Food allergy is rare. Most gastric problems are not allergies—they are acidity or intolerance.

Hi Food allergies are life threatening. You go into anaphylactic shock. Food intolerances are related to digestive issues, if you have persistent bloating, acidity, bowel changes and other symptoms
