Not accurate for dairy and..... bananas!
We long had a suspicion that our daughter had a banana allergy. Obviously, we wanted to find out and use this test since we can just use hair samples and that's pretty simple and easy to do.<br /><br />We collected the hair samples, scanned the QR code, recorded the information and mailed it out.<br /><br />We received an email acknowledgement and a few days later the results.<br /><br />It stated she was in the "Red" (high sensitivity) for dairy and all cheeses, which does not appear to be true since our kids drink a lot of milk, twice a day and our daughter eats cheese almost every day since she loves it.<br /><br />Most importantly, we searched for Bananas and it showed she was completely in the clear for bananas.<br /><br />So we gave her 1/4 of a banana with Benadryl in our other hand. She had no other foods since 12pm and we did this before dinner, so her stomach was clear of foods for probably 5+ hours.<br /><br />Within 15 minutes her stomach hurt and she started feeling itchy. This was the same reaction we suspected over a year ago and thought it was probably the banana.<br /><br />We gave her Benadryl and she was feeling better within 20 minutes.<br /><br />I looked at the test results again and it said she was in the clear for Bananas but completely high/red for dairy and all cheeses listed.<br /><br />For now, we cannot trust their results since we have real-life experience of the opposite.<br /><br />Hope the manufacturer will contact me to re-verify results.<br /><br />I can only give 1-star since I can't give lower.
