If a food allergy is suspected in an infant, what information is NOT needed?


If a food allergy is suspected in an infant, what information is NOT needed?

a. Whether the infant had been ill prior to problems arising

b. What laboratory tests confirmed specific allergies

c. Whether any other family members have food allergies

d. Whether wheat, eggs or peanut butter have been introduced into the infant's diet

b)

If previous testing has been done, then all that information is necessary. What's the point of seeing a specialist if you don't tell them everything? Otherwise they could repeat the same tests and that would be wasting valuable time and effort.
