Positive allergy skin and blood testing doesn't confirm allergy‪!‬ Food Allergy and Your Kiddo

Yep, you read that title right...

A positive skin and/or blood test does not necessarily mean a person has an allergy.

"But, why not?" you may be wondering.

Tune into this episode of the Food Allergy and Your Kiddo Podcast where I discuss food allergy, immune tolerance, and how the immune system is like a teeter-totter!

Check out this episode's blog post, where you can access earlier blog posts on immune tolerance as well as an awesome video about allergy antibodies.

And check out my Food Allergy Toolbox, filled with downloadable tools I create especially for you - food allergy families and friends!
