At home food allergy tests.. are they reasonably effective?

Question

Someone mentioned the MyAllergyTest at-home kit in my question about celiac disease (thanks!).

Are these tests reasonably effective? Is this the best at-home test, or are there other at-home brands that are more effective? I've never heard of this sort of thing until now.

Answer 1

If you are looking for a comprehensive result... especially for Food allergies, go to an Allergist. The home test kits check for only tthree foods.. wheat, eggs and milk.

Answer 2

I don't think it would be all that effective, since only 10 allergens are tested:

Timothy Grass
Bermuda Grass
Mountain Cedar (Juniper)
Ragweed
Alternaria (mold)
Dust Mite
Cat
Milk
Egg White
Wheat
