I want others to know that parents of young children with life-threatening food allergies carry an enormous ocean of anxiety just below the surface and that that anxiety is absolutely justified. We… read more
I have recently been experiencing shortness of breath. I’ve had testing done and they have ruled out heart, lungs and anemia issues. I’ve eaten yogurt and other dairy products more than I have. I’m going to have blood work done to determine what food allergies I have. My guess is dairy may be one.
Please be careful and do your research! Prednisone has an inactive ingredient of *anhydrous lactose*
Which could worsen your allergy symptoms. Prednisone also can be a cataract maker 👀 My dairy… read more

I am newly diagnosed (less than three weeks) and my husband just is not getting how severely allergic I am to shellfish! He made me react twice. The first time was a learning curve! Second time he used a pan and didn't clean it well I used it later to cook land I ended up in the hospital!

I have a selected few restaurants I go to, and when I have to go to a new one I feel like my life is in danger...which it technically is (hehe) seeing as my anaphalaxis has reached a point where I have an epipen with me at all times, and even then I do not have long to get to a doctor...just wondering how everyone else copes with restaurants and take away places...
I'm in the US & it may be different for you in S.A. When i go out to eat, I assume the restaurant doesn't really care about my food allergies & they assume that if I came to eat their food, I… read more
Does anybody know what makes you allergic to sea salt? Drs don't believe me. I cannot eat shrimp either. Not sure if I have an allergy to shellfish.
On another forum, another person had also had a reaction from sea salt. She went to Mayo Clinic and the doctor had told her that sea salt contains "marine copolymers" (which another doctor told had… read more

It must be in the plastic container. It happen to after having drinking Zephyrhills water bottle water. How do I find ot what container is made from?
Yes it is the container! I has the same issue with Fugi water. Anything in a thick plastic bottle
