Weird combination allergy-wanting answers

<< < (2/2)

spacecanada:
In addition to the above, reaction history is more important than test results. A good allergist will consider this and, if needed, offer a supervised food challenge to further investigate. I've had several of my allergens test negative and then I very clearly failed the food challenge. The allergist could then clearly diagnose an allergy. This may be what is required for a combination food allergy. I've heard of combination allergies before, but I don't know much about it.

And yes, get two EpiPens (or Allerjects/Auvi-Q, Jext pens, Emerade... whatever... some sort of epinephrine autoinjector) as the current recommendations are to have two always available in case one pen misfires or if a second dose is needed.
