Allergy refers to a common underlying immune mechanism. It’s just that each response can target a different Organ.
Allergic response is a systemic disease. Inflammation is the core problem of all allergic disorders.
Allergy is a syndrome or group of symptoms that commonly occur together, and have the same underlying cause. From this vantage point, asthma, eczema, and food allergy are not separate problems.

The rate of false positives of both skin and blood test for food allergies can be as high as 50 to 60%.
Blood and skin test only shows sensitization to a particular allergen; they never confirm an allergy
There’s zero evidence that IgGs triggers, any negative effects for the body

Allergist get around two weeks of training. There is no energization for the commercial preparations of allergens for skin test. There’s no standardize or universally accepted system for interpreting skin test or for recording and collecting results.

Allergy - if your body responds to an exposure to an antigen or allergen typically with an IgE response
Intolerance - symptoms similar to a food allergy, but being caused by some body system, condition, or mechanism other than the immune system system itself
Sensitivity - if you develop a localized wheel reaction to a skin prick test, but don’t experience allergic symptoms when exposed to that allergen

Our bodies produced five different types of antibodies IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE
A genetic predisposition to IgE sensitization to allergens in the environment is called atopy. Atopy is different from allergy because while you can have an allergy without an IgE response, you cannot have an atopic reaction without IgE.
