general allergy test is "skin prick test", "skin scratch test", very inaccurate, often false-positive results (works best with environmental allergys like molds, grass, weeds, alders...etc).

Proper food allergy test is done through blood serum. It Checks for antigen/antibody reaction against like 90 different types of foods (like milk, beef, pork, eggs..etc). I think you need to find a naturopathic doctor is you want this. You can't just walk into independent lab and ask to be tested. The lab techs are just doing biochemical analysis from the blood sample they received i think. Only a trained naturopathic physician can take your blood sample and send it to the lab for testing.

Try to find a yellowpage? or internet superpages
