My little girl has been having tests for her Chronic/brittle Asthma.
She has had genetic tests, allergy tests, CF test and was due to have ph lung study today. (but hospital cancelled and postponed it an hr before!!!! grrr!!)
Anyway, we got all her results today and she has NO allergies! Im shocked!! I really thought she was allergic to tree pollen at the very very least!!
Does anyone else have Asthma and yet have had the all clear with Allergy tests?
Now im at a complete loss as to why she is having these horrid attacks. At least if there was an allergy, I could respond to it and help her.
Anyone?

Did she have skin prick tests? Because I recently contacted Allergy UK with some questions and the advisor speaking to me said that the skin prick test is a guide only and needs to be used along with symptoms as you can get false negatives and positives. I had had allergy tests in the past and had never been told that.
I agree JF thats why i asked what kind of allergy tests were given.
as some kids do have a false negative, even with an allergy to nuts, they then take whats called a food challenge before being given the all clear, because some will still react to eating something without having a reaction to skin prick. We didn't have that issue with little nutter though as his results were as expected.
