AB  - The gold standard for diagnosis of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy 
      remains the oral food challenge, with serum IgE testing and skin prick testing 
      serving as acceptable alternatives. However, the increase in prevalence of food 
      allergy (both physician diagnosed and patient suspected) has led patients to 
      pursue a variety of other alternative diagnostic procedures for suspected food 
      allergy, which are reviewed in this article. These procedures (IgG testing, 
      electrodermal testing, cytotoxic testing, provocation/neutralization, and applied 
      kinesiology) have largely been unproven and may lead to unnecessary elimination 
      diets.
