How Can I Avoid The Scent Of Corn By Gas And Stores? The Scent Of Fresh Popcorn From A Machine Is One My Biggest Nightmares And Iodized Salt

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Dairy Allergies

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

I take 2 tablets and within 30 minutes to an hour all of the itching subsides. Also, I did not have any side effects like drowsiness. My friends were amazed that I could stay awake on it.

The past few times I have taken it, not only does it not take the itch away completely, it makes me extremely drowsy. I sleep for over 8… read more
