Article: In many cases, it can be difficult to pinpoint food intolerances. If you have already performed a food diary exercise and an elimination diet or oral challenge, set up an appointment with an allergist, who may be able to specify potential allergens through skin prick tests or blood tests. They can also educate you on the differences between food allergies and intolerances. In cases of mild or variable reactions to foods, using your history is the most important part of the diagnosis. In most cases, skin prick tests can be performed quickly and safely in the office of an allergy specialist. Skin prick tests involve inserting tiny amounts of potential offenders under the surface of the skin. If a bump appears, it indicates that you're sensitized to that food, which may lead to a food allergy diagnosis. A blood allergy test involves a small blood draw that will be sent to a laboratory for testing. It can take several weeks to get results. Blood tests and skin prick tests may be helpful for determining if you're allergic to certain foods. Talk to your allergist to see if either is right for you.

Article: You can use the base of a cocktail shaker, a highball glass, or any other clear glass. You only need the glass to mix the juice. It is not the glass you will be drinking out of. A bar spoon is a special utensil with a long shaft, specially created for stirring cocktails. Hold the spoon near the top of the twisted section with your thumb and first two fingers. Sink the spoon into your glass, near the side but not touching it. Twirl the shaft, moving both back and forth and up and down. Continue stirring for about 30 seconds. Chill the glass beforehand by keeping it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, or by storing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Go slowly and carefully to avoid spilling any of the drink. Do not shake or stir the soda water, since doing so may cause it to go flat. Instead, allow the liquids to combine lightly and naturally. Soda water is another great way to water down the bitterness of an extremely sour juice.
