Our Pulmonologist told us the testing for my boys was worthless Milk along with some other high allergen foods seem to bring negative results while there's a clear indication the person(s) is allergic... both my boys are anaphalytic to milk and have never been tested because it was obvious they are immediate reactors when the allergen is even introduced to their skin...

What type of evidence are you looking for? There is a huge amount of anecdotal
evidence just among those of us on the no-milk list.

For example, I have had 2 incidences of anaphylaxis that are clearly reactions
to milk. I had an entire series of blood tests for food allergies. They all
came up inconclusive. The anaphylaxis tells me that I am allergic to dairy.
Removing dairy from my diet reduced or eliminated a wide variety of symptoms
that I was experiencing.

There are many people on this list who have been told that they or their
children are not allergic, but when milk is ingested, allergic responses occur.
Allergy testing is not infallible.
