They did a bunch on skin pricks on her back.</p> <p>Depending on your insurance you probably don't have to go through your ped and can just make an appointment with an allergist to discuss your concerns and see what they say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-done-allergy-testing#post-2338881 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 12:35:45 +0000 winniebee 2338881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had DS1 tested for a nut allergy at around 20 months because he broke out in hives on a few occasions and had eaten nuts, but we didn't know if that was the cause. I called the pediatrician and described what had happened and she ordered bloodworm immediately. Turns out he's not allergic (but the blood draw sucked!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-done-allergy-testing#post-2338875 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 12:33:01 +0000 MrsH 2338875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. LO was 13 months. It was really hard to get her to be still during for the skin testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-done-allergy-testing#post-2338849 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 12:25:37 +0000 DillonLion 2338849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to book an appt to get my LO tested for allergies. She gets an upset stomach from several foods, and I want to see if she's genuinely allergic or not. </p> <p>Also, she broke out in a rash after getting stung by a couple of bugs earlier this week, so I really want to see if she's allergic to any bugs so we can make sure she's protected. My DH is allergic to ants in large doses (his throat closes up if he gets a bunch of stings at once!). </p> <p>I guess we have to see the pedi and they will refer us to a lab for testing.</p> <p>Have you done allergy testing? How did it go? </p>
