Food sensitivities are a common but frequently unrecognized cause of chronic symptomatology in patients with known allergies. Food sensitivities often are not detected by skin testing. This article discusses the controversy surrounding the treatment of food sensitivities; the provocative sublingual and intradermal tests for sensitivities, and the importance of eliciting complete past and family histories from the allergic patient. Because patients with symptoms of food sensitivity are likely to visit their family doctor first, he should be the first to detect and treat them. Usually patients with a food sensitivity obtain relief from symptoms when the offending food(s) are excluded from their diet.
食物过敏是已知过敏患者慢性症状的常见但经常未被识别的原因。食物过敏通常不能通过皮肤测试检测到。本文讨论了治疗食物过敏的争议；用于检测过敏的舌下和皮内激发试验，以及从过敏患者那里获取完整的过去病史和家族史的重要性。由于有食物过敏症状的患者可能首先去看他们的家庭医生，所以他应该是第一个发现和治疗食物过敏的人。通常，当患者从饮食中排除致敏食物时，他们的症状会得到缓解。
