The skin prick tests only for IgE food sensitivities and not the IgG and IgA reactions which are also testable. I know many people with some somewhat severe food allergic responses - even those necessitating the ER - who did not have any major reaction to the IgE skin prick testing. One person I know had hives and celiac, but this too was not detected by the allergist.
