In my opinion, based on my experience and observations, the only accurate
test is provocative testing. Others agree. I've seen plenty of RAST
tests (and others) that were negative for milk, but patients had
undenialble reactions to milk. The goal is to eliminate symptoms, not to
convince scientists and doctors. Start at the top, and eliminate until
the IBS is gone----milk, wheat, corn, soy, etc., based of course on a
diet history. Use a diet diary.
