Does Anyone Have A Reaction To The Food That Causes A Reaction Hours After Ingesting The Particular Food?
I have a severe tree nut allergy, and I tried the challenge approach in the allergist's office. After 5 hours I ingested one whole almond, but because I did not show any symptoms in the office he told me I could eat almonds (ha, ha). I didn't have a reaction until 2 hours later. My tongue began swelling. Needless to say, I stay away from all tree nuts!
My face, lips, or throat swell.
Can Food Allergies Cause Fecal Impactation Or Severe Constipation?
My 6 year old has tested low positive for peanut, milk and wheat which he always had since birth and only milk used to be very high. He has been eating all of the above safely without any reactions since he was 4. Now we having repeated severely excruciating abdominal pains accompanied by fecal impactation. In the past 3 months he got admitted 3times for this and no Dr has found the cause as yet. He is due to see a gastro specialist this week. I tried cutting out wheat and dairy in his diet a… read more

Hi, I'm Not Sure If I Belong Here Or Not, You See I Don't Have Allergies Nor Does My Child. My Nephew Has Nut Allergies.
I keep all nut products up from where he can reach them, however that still makes me nervous when he comes over. I worry that maybe he might touch something that does have nuts and I just didn't know. Another question I have is at what age should they know when to ask about nuts in food or before they touch food with nuts in them? If I should not be on this site just calmly let me know and I will get off. Thank you
Be careful that you clean keyboard if he will use it. My husband ate walnuts while working on computer. My son played on it and broke out in hives (from the oil left on keys).
Parents Of Young Children With Extreme Allergies, Have Any Of You Felt Comfortable Sending Your Child To Preschool?
My daughter will be 3 in December and we are considering starting her in preschool this January. She has extreme allergies to all dairy, peanuts, all tree nuts, eggs and sesame. Even secondhand touch will give her a reaction. If a kid eats any of those foods and doesn't wash up after, then touches an object my daughter will have a reaction if she touches that object next. If she didn't have allergies I would be excited for her to start preschool, but I'm not sure its worth the risk at this age.
Make sure she understands not to take or trade food with other students.
Alpha Gal Allergies
Who has this? Finally requested doctors office blood testing for Lymes. Not sure of that result as it is not available or wasn't ordered however, I tested positive for Alpha Gal. What guidance were you advised besides avoiding Beef Pork and Lamb? Realize this also includes No meats from any hoofed animals including wild game. New journey. Continue eating Medeterrian diet-lifestyle for (our) health issues and easiest for two retirees.
