Now that I understand, I know I have had allergies since I was a child. I never had an anaphylactic reaction, however, until last year. I have reacted to everything in that list, as well as had positive test results. After my first set of testing, I also developed a new severe reaction to pistachios (which was later backed up by a new positive test.) To me, and minor reaction involves burning lips and mouth, indigestion, and sometimes minor skin itching. A major reaction (anaphylaxis) involves throat closing and a trip to the ER.
I guess I should ask my doctor how to try things. Reading about quinoa, it doesn't seem like it is in family of any of my allergens.
Is there such a thing as a false positive with skin and/or blood testing?
