" Parents who suspect their child has a food allergy should first talk with the child's primary care physician about symptoms. The problem could be a food intoleranc­e rather than an allergy, she said, but the child might need to be tested by an allergy specialist to get a definitive diagnosis.­"

More general non -emergency symptoms such as bloating, belching, nausea, fatique and persistent low-grade skin, respirator­y and digestive problems could be caused by a food intoleranc­e; these should be tested for by IgG. In IgG food intoteranc­e, reactions can happened 7-21 days after eating the problemati­c food.
