Patch testing is a patch with rows containing a small sample of a particular food mix with a solution in small allumin tiny cups. The allergist taped this on Kendra’s back for 48 hours (we could not bath her),; he then read it at 72 hours. 10 foods showed positive after that time period (small raised bumps where the food were and not red bumps where the other food were( we tested-30 in total)).
Not every person react to this test, but i was glad i took the risk.

A lot of allergists don’t do this type of testing, so you have to call around.
