not effective until about 2 or even 3 years old...
there's a blood test (not accurate) and then skin patch tests (more accurate)
during an endoscopy they do biopsies & if there are eos cells then that can also show an allergy - this can be done as an infant...
there are allergies and INTOLERANCES...
