I have had RAST and skin test for food allergies and all are consistently neg. yet when I eat I get sore throats and stomach aches and chest symptoms. I am afraid to eat. My diet is very limited. Could it be allergies and they just not show up on test? I have never had hives or itching just upper respiratory symptoms or stomach symptoms.

Yes I have read it is possible to have food allergy symptoms and still have the tests come out negative. You have a couple of options and one would be to do an elimination diet. Eliminate the suspected foods from your diet for a while usually a couple of weeks and then slowly incorporate them back in with very small amounts one at a time. You will most likely know right away which ones bother you or not. I never had hives either until I stopped eating several suspected foods and tried them again months later. They ended up being very serious allergies too so I have to stay away from many foods too. Just be really careful when doing this! Another thing you could do is find someone who can do muscle testing also known as kinesiology. I have found this to be very accurate and it helped me identify my first two known allergens. You might want to do this one first though. I hope this helped!
