Tests

My RAST test came back for cat and dog allergy and not allergic to them.

Also my allergy test came back ok.

thats what they told me over the phone but will check with asthma nurse monday.

What I would like to know is what else could cause asthma if Rast test ok and allergy test ok?

Literally anything can.

If you look at the top of the page hover over 'all about asthma' and one of the sections is 'asthma triggers a-z'.

At least you know that you are not allergic to anything. I would take this as a positive out come from your tests. I would love not being allergic to anything.

This is a puzzle for me too. My Ige is low, but I react to skin prick tests. I was once RAST tested and only got a positive result for dust mites and flour mite - even though I had a strong skin reaction to cat and dog among other things. I have been tested several times and consistently react to the same allergens.

On my most recent blood test my consultant had asked for 3 specific RAST tests, but as my total Ige was low the lab did not continue with what he had asked for!! Needless to say he got cross and asked for it again in big black writing on the blood form. I have not got the results yet.
