I have had several food allergy tests all done by the same company.
Something that struck me as odd is that sesame was on the first one and I
can't remember eating sesame or using sesame oil. It was gone on the second
test and then came back on the third test. We rarely eat out and when we do
eat out I stick to plain chicken or steak with veggies so I don't know where
I would have gotten sesame. The book that comes with the test says to stay
on a 4-day rotation but if I can become intolerant to something I rarely if
at all ate, then what's the point? My doctor did talk about cross-reactives
to airborne allergens. Speaking of those, I thought eliminating grains,
dairy, legumes, and sugar should prevent one from reacting to airborne
allergens?!

Subject: Re: IgG test

Personally, it seemed that some foods correlated with
asthma problems that I have.  Also, I have airborne
allergies that are fairly bad in part, I suspect,
because of the location in which I live.  I attribute
some of my food allergy symptoms to cross-reactivities
to some of my airborne allergens.  If it is the case
that cross-reactivities are involved then it seems to
me that some problem foods would not show up on the
IgG test.  I found the test "somewhat infomative"
because eliminating certain foods indicated by the
test have shown improvement.  I could have been a
coindicence that those foods showed up, but it caused
me to try rotating foods (mostly vegetables and fin
fish) that I tended to eat very frequently.  I did
seem strange to me that some foods which I rarely eat
had  higher scores than other foods that I ate more
frequently.
