Food allergy classification?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I just got the results back for my dd's RAST test and was wondering if anyone could help me with the way they are classified? I know that Class 1 is pretty low but still reactive but how high do the class #'s go?

She reacts mostly to nuts with Brazil nuts being a high class 4 and some others nearly that high. So at what point could she experiance a ana reaction? She has never had even a trace as far as I know of the Brazil nuts so I have no idea what would really happen. All her other reactions are skin in nature her eczema flares up badly.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

The classes don't really indicate likelihood of an anaphlyactic reaction. I've had anaphylactic reactions to class 2 and merely hives from off the charts positive stuff (different labs uses different test ranges).

Thank you jocelyndale. She has never had a ana reaction thank the good Lord but it is always a worry of mine. The two good things is she is less reactive to eggs and peanuts now than she was so there is hope she will outgrow it totally but the others are way worse
