Who can accurately diagnose a food allergy?

Diagnosing food allergies requires special training. That’s why the diagnosis should be made by a board-certified allergist. If there is not a trained allergist in your community, consult your pediatrician or primary care physician. While other healthcare professionals may suggest you have a food allergy, only a trained allergist is qualified to make an accurate diagnosis.
