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
It also sounds like your immune system is very compromised. One must stay away from cortisone as this only hides the problem temporally and take lots of immune boosters that hopefully will work for… read more
Last week I had an anaphylaxic reaction to a new antibiotic I was taking. I was home alone and knew I was in trouble so I called my local emergency number. When the First Responders (Firefighters here) arrived I handed them my medic alert card with all my allergies and told them that I had administered an epipen prior to their arrival. They started questioning me and giving me grief as to why I would have injected myself when this medication wasn't on my list of allergies. I was so frustrated… read more
ChristineAnne, I see you wrote this 4 years ago. By coincidence I open your post - I just got out of the ER and hour ago for yet another allergic reaction to an antibiotic

I recently started having a bad reaction to grilled chicken any time I ate it. I'm not sure if its the chicken or what the chicken is fed. I'm afraid to try it again after the last episode. Any suggestions?
Commercial poultry is also fed shellfish in some instances.
Hello everyone. I'm 22, reactive to dairy, dairy derivatives, tree nuts, shellfish, aspartame, tomatoes, and now bananas are hit or miss....mostly miss.
Besides that, I have a lot of other random allergies. Basically, this translates to a lot of benadryl taken often.
I used to use benadryl as a little kid food :'(pretty related allergies, but I don't recall having many side effects. Now however, I have irritability, brain fog, drowsiness (though that's to be expected), forgetfulness, and… read more
Make sure you detox your colon. If you colon is toxic, so is your body, and it will make you more reactive to everything. Even more so if you are already sensitive. Make sure you are taking the… read more
There is a treatment where small amounts of cows milk protein is injected into the skin over a period of time in order to familiarise your body with the protein and not have it 'attack' the cells when consumed. Does this work?
Desensitization methods have not been proven to be very effective except when used with the right specific probiotic in the right amount. However, researchers out of Australia have successfully came… read more
I grew up eating all types of shellfish and seafood (fish) Feast of the 7 fish on Christmas eve (Italian tradition). Within the past 6 years the allergy was getting worse but I know i can't eat it but i have been doing nothing but craving it. What do i do?

I just started allergy shots for my environmental allergies. The 3rd round caused a terrible upset stomach as if I ate a food I'm allergic to. Anyone experience this before?
Yes, I had allergy shots for about 10 years. They really helped my reaction to pollen, leaves, trees and dust. But now years later I’m having lots of food allergies, citrus, tomato, corn, dairy. They… read more
Oh wow, yes I have PTSD! I was diagnosed with a sulfite allergy 10 years ago. I am going back to the allergist who diagnosed me tomorrow. Sulfites can be found in most all processed foods and in a… read more
