Delayed Patterns of Food Allergy... Beyond Skin Tests For some time, it has
been appreciated that delayed patterns of food allergy
cause chronic illness.
The term "delayed" is helpful only because it
alerts readers with little knowledge of immunology
to a simple distinction between immediate
reactions that are easy to recognize and illness
patterns that emerge slowly.
There are a
number of different and immune mechanisms that are
activated by food and operate in more complex and mysterious ways.
Although skin tests
are still
used to test for food allergy, some allergists recognized
the limitations of skin tests and prescribed low allergy or elimination diets with satisfactory
results. Allergists generally
appreciated that allergy desensitization shots containing food antigens were not helpful.
The desire for
simple, definitive tests for food allergy is easy to understand, but
difficult to fulfill. Food interacts complexly and sequentially with many
different consequences. It is unlikely that food allergy occurs in a
consistent manner; there are too many variables. No single test will ever
reveal the complex and variable nature of this reactivity. The lack of specific tests for
food allergy have hindered progress in this field.
