Waste of a co-pay and an hour of my time!

So I just wasted 35 dollars and an hour of my time. I went to get allergy tested mainly for avacados and honey. I also seem to have a reaction to eggs and bananas. All they had was the test for eggs and bananas, so he couldnt do the avacado and honey tests the ones I cared most about. Ugh, but I found out that I am not "allergic" to eggs or bananas but he said that just because I didnt have an immediate reaction doesnt mean that I wont have a delayed intolerance to those things. So what exactly did that tell me?! He suggested doing some sort of blind food test where he masks the honey with other food, I eat it and then he sees me react! I was like.... no! I dont need a doctor for me to see how I react! He asked me how I know that this is food allergies and not just my "IBS acting up". I told him that its a completely different feeling and I've been dealing with these "food allergies" for years and I've been dealing with IBS for months. I just now decided that for once and for all I wanted to know exactly what I was allergic to. Oh well. I guess I will try bananas again and see what happens. Not today though... I'm not feeling brave!! Thanks for letting me vent! Hope you are all feeling well!
