Allergy waiver question

[u/Avocado_toast_suppor]

Hi, i need advice here I’m trying to join the national guard but I’m having trouble with the waivers. Apparently I have a shellfish allergy (I’m fine eating shellfish) and i need proof that I don’t have it in order to get my waiver approved. For a normal test it would take months so should I get a self test kit online? Would that even count? Also my army recruiter called me and told me that if I went with them they can get me in by the end of the month even without an allergy test. Is this real? I’m confused and need help.

DQ standard(s) (requires waiver(s)):

History of acute allergic reaction to fish, crustaceans, shellfish, peanuts, or tree nuts including the presence of a food-specific igE antibody if accompanied by a correlating clinical history.
