Generally speaking food allergies tests are not particularly useful for managing IBS. IBS is not caused by problems with food. Food may act as a trigger but it is not the cause. The IBS research suggests that food elimination is a better approach to IBS dietary management than food allergy tests. IBS food triggers are not related to food allergies. For example, caffeine, fat/oil, artificial sweeteners and fructose are IBS triggers that are unrelated to food allergy reactions.

This sort of question is best asked on the diet board. The living room is dedicated to non-IBS discussions
