My Doctor here in the USA will not test me for PEG. I'm super sensitive to PEG and wants me to go to the Mayo Clinic but Insurance won't pay.

Skin test (challenge) by a qualified immunologist. There are some assays to test for anti PEG antibodies, but they are expensive and most public facing labs do not have them.
