My food allergies are poultry, fish, shellfish, beer, which are all foods high in purines. I’ve been allergic to poultry since birth but the other allergies didn’t start until my 30s and after I was suffering from gout attacks. Once I stopped eating fish/beer the gout attacks stopped. Doctors and my own research have told me that gout is caused by the body’s inability to process purines and uric acid. So I was wondering if there could be a correlation here?
I have been diagnoised with severe food allergies & Severe asthma (also skin allergies) a while ago. I have recently met with a specialist who is an immunologist and she seems to now think I have either Mast cell actvation disorder or actually lupus.
I just wanted to see if there is anyone here who has been diagnosed with either condition and is this a common crossover or something people can develop?
I have recently been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and my inflammation levels are not coming down. I am waiting to see a Rheumatologist but my one doctor thinks I might have Fibromyalgia as well. A lot of people have told me that I need to try and figure out if something I am eating is causing the inflammation. How do I do the elimination diet? Where do I start?
I have RA and Ulcerative Colitis and a large number of food allergies. I found eliminating night shade vegetables (tomato, peppers, egg plant etc) to help with the inflammation. My Natural path doctor… read more
Do you trust Google Reviews for restaurants, and takeaways?
A report from Which Magazine, shows how,
Fake Google reviews exploited to artificially boost businesses
Do you do your own own research about restaurants, and takeaways?
Reviews can be fake, or even if it is a brilliant review it could be inconsistent on another visit, because of other factors like different staff.
I have been sick for early 12 years. I have so many food intolerances including gluten, sugar alcohols, and even intolerances to facial creams, sunscreens, and just about every topical lotions that absorb into my skin. Recently I purchased a L’Oreal product that was gluten-free and fragrance free but I still broke out in hives and a burning rash. My primary care placed me on prednisone. What in the world is going on with my body? The 25+ doctors over the years have no idea. I’m beyond… read more
Saw a comment on a group saying something like "after a (severe) allergic reaction ige levels go up a lot and this takes 3 months to clear. If tests are done within 3 months of a reaction specific ige tests and/or skin prick test have a higher chance of false positives"
Is the above true? I can’t find anything supporting this on the internet

Hello everyone
I have been suffering for many years the excruciating stomach pain if I eat raw fruits and vegetables such as Avocado, Raspberries, Banana etc. The list keeps on increasing every year and one food item gets added
The pain is a level 9 on a scale of 10 and I feel very flushed, palpitations etc. I believe it is intolerance to these food.
On top I have egg, honey and pine nut allergy.
I have tried to explain this to many doctors over the year but nobody seems to find an answer.

Trying to pinpoint what reaction is caused by each thing. We don't have an affirmative diagnosis yet. At least looking at dairy, but could be others as well.
