Currently, food Allergy is defined as immunologically mediated food intolerances. However, verification of the allergic nature of food intolerance and its specific diagnosis in adults currently is a significant problem. With the purpose of studying of informative most commonly used in clinical practice methods of diagnosis of food Allergy in adults assessed elevated levels of total IgE, the peripheral blood eosinophilia and determine the level of allergen specific IgE as markers of food Allergy. It is shown that elevated levels of total IgE is determined by only one-third of patients to 30 years and half in older age. An increased number of eosinophils in the peripheral blood had 50 % of patients, regardless of age. At least one of these indices was informative in 79 % of patients. Detectable levels of allergen-specific IgE to any food allergens occurred in 80 % of patients. In 100 % of cases, at least one of the indicators listed above was informative.
