Does a family practitioner test for allergy?
The first test for food allergies is to withhold the food you suspect and wait to see if your symptoms resolve or remain. When a person suspects a food allergy such as a tomato allergy and wants to confirm it, they can go to their family practice physician (FP) who may be able to order a blood test to screen you for the allergy. The other test that can be done is a skin test. Skin testing is generally considered to provide the most accurate results. Some FP physicians have a technician come and do the testing at their office. More often these days they will refer the person to an allergist who can have the skin testing done. The best approach would be to call the physicians office ahead of time and ask if they provide allergy testing. If they don’t, ask if they can refer you to someone who does. READ MORE
