Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Food allergies can indeed be diagnosed through clinical methods such as skin prick tests or blood tests that measure the presence of specific allergy-related antibodies. Food allergies are less common than food intolerances, do not always cause systemic inflammation (reactions can range from mild to severe), and do not cause over 15,000 deaths annually in the United States; the number is significantly lower.
