Our 7 month old was recently diagnosed with a milk allergy. His IgE was 13.5. Our doctor tested because we couldn't get his eczema under control. He was also spitting up a ton. After the blood test, we were referred to an allergist for further testing and told not to give him any new foods (at this point he had only tried a few things). The allergist did a skin test for eggs, oats and peanuts. Eggs and peanuts came up positive. We were given an epi pen and told to come back in 4 months. We didn't love the doctor and left feeling like he didn't give us much information. Our ped referred us to another clinic for a second opinion and further testing.

I have a few questions: Has anyone had experience with false positives with skin tests? Should we request blood work? At what point will a doctor administer a challenge? What other questions should we be asking at the new clinic?
