There are different types of food allergy

There are different types of food allergy. The immediate or type 1 food allergy pattern is easily recognized because it involves quick and   dramatic symptoms. Hay fever is the most common type 1 allergy and can be diagnosed by allergy skin tests. Some food allergy is also type 1 and shows up on  skin tests.

Delayed patterns of food allergy are not so obvious and generally go unrecognized. Allergy skin tests do not show this problem nor do IgE antibody tests such as RAST or ELIZA. 

Delayed patterns of food allergy are responsible for causing common but ill-defined illness patterns in children.
A cluster of physical, behavioral, and learning problems is typical of many children we see.
