I've never been asked that question and actually I would be a little offended. I'm with you, I'm never going to put one of the foods I'm allergic to in my mouth!! I do everything I can to avoid accidental contact with those foods.

No they dont, but I suppose as son has used his auto injectors about 7 times! As for our daughter who is ige allergic, but not got a severe allergy, her skin prick tests still confirm allergy. I think it is very odd of a doctor to ask that question, I would ask him/her WHY he/she felt the need to ask it!

I am a caterer & my chef friends who study nutrition as I do, working with my GI have me keeping a food/exercise journal which is a great help identifying foods I can not tolerate

I diagnosed my son's dairy allergy to the milk I drank while nursing him. When he was 6 I told the new pediatrician his reactions if there was dairy in food. He asked what happened when my son drank a glass of milk! He was surprised when I told him he'd never had a glass of milk. Found another doctor.
