The Truth About Allergies and Food Sensitivity Tests

Many of my patients come to see me as a result of their allergy symptoms. But at times, they also confuse intolerances with allergies. I decided to sit down with a leading pediatric allergist Dr. Dave Stukus and chat all things allergy. Oh and I thought I'd state it clearly right here: Food sensitivities tests don't work and are a full-on SCAM! Always consult your doctor before testing yourself or your family members for allergies!
