339: How Sensitive Are You?: Best Test For Food Allergy (IgE) Sensitivity w/ Dr. David Fitzhugh

Confused about the difference between food allergy testing and food sensitivity testing? You’re not alone! Many believe food allergies are all-or-nothing, but reactivity can exist on a spectrum—especially for IgE-mediated responses that can change over time.

In this episode, Dr. David Fitzhugh, an allergist/immunologist specializing in food immunotherapy, breaks down the pros and cons of common tests (like skin prick and blood tests), why false positives happen, and the risks of unnecessary food eliminations—especially with chronic skin issues like eczema.
