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.
Request a test packet allergy from an allergist doctor.
Start with the North American 80 Comprehensive Series patch tests.
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.
