Sorry, I have technical difficulties with some of my yahoo groups.  What I said was: 

Two things – first of all, isnt this list (which is really inactive, btw) run by the ALCAT test people?  I strongly recommend the ALCAT test which is a great test for sensitivities, but you usually will have to pay for it yourself.  Secondly, most people say that the best test is the food challenge.  Remove any foods you think might be a problem for two weeks, then add one back (a lot of it) and look for reactions.  Keep a log (write it all down). 

Finally, this list is really not active and there are other allergy lists on yahoo group where you can get a lot more support.  Look around at groups.yahoo.com, maybe search for children food allergies.  Good luck figuring out whats bothering your daughter!

Hi everyone,
Very glad I found this group. I have a 6yr old daughter with a peanut allergy and asthma. Her asthma is not being controlled by the inhalers and we really think she is allergic to other things. We have gone through skin testing and done a RAST test for 3 things(peanuts,milk,and wheat).....the milk and wheat came back negative. The milk one really, really surprised me because everytime she has ice cream, milk, cottage cheese, or yogurt she has an asthma attach and her eczema comes back. Needless to say we have removed all dairy from her diet.
We have gone to her pediatrician and asked for IGG, IGA, and IGM testing and she kind of laughed at us. I am really in need of help or advice. We know our daughter is allergic or has other sensitivities, we just are not sure exactely what route to take. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, kristen
