    I don’t live in Canada, but this was really helpful info!
    I have nearly 20 allergies, so for me to take this test and be certain of what exactly I’m allergic to would be wonderful!

    Thank you!

    Dear Elizabeth,
    Thanks for posting this. Very clear, concise write up on a very useful and one-of-a-kind technology. For a perspective on how these tests can be used to help patients, please look at this post: http://www.asthmaallergieschildren.com/2010/11/13/new-allergy-tests-may-help-improve-life-for-people-with-food-allergies/

    Thanks, I find this interesting, but I will need more time to follow all your interesting updates… I did not test yet my kids on any blood work. Doctors said to wait until they will be older.

    Eli did component testing through http://www.pirllab.com for his peanut allergy. It came back Ara h1 and Ara h2. “Anaphylactic” His blood level IgE went from 83.7 to a 62–which Dr. Nash said do not read too much into that number as it can change daily considering what’s going on with the immune system. I was afraid Dr. Nash would say, “He’s too allergic” to start desensitization but like me I guess he even saw a greater need as we KNOW what WILL happen. It’s just a question of when. Now he is consuming 600mgs. of peanut flour a day and has yet to have a reaction. Hopefully it will stay that way forever!!! Eli’s egg came back non-anaphylactic so we gave him a food challenge (I was relaxed) and he passed. We did not test him for scallop on the component. I would have but it wasn’t available for some reason at the time? He passed that food challenge also. That one scared the daylights out of me only because shellfish… we’d have to desensitize one at a time. And it’s airborne. So glad we only have our one peanut allergy and it’s going away slowly but surely.

    Is this test only available for peanut or other allergies too?
