I am almost 70 and the allergies showed up about 25 yrs ago. I have been tested, carry two epi pens and Benadryl always.
I developed a shellfish allergy at 43 yes old. A year later I developed a peanut allergy. You can have a food allergy happen at any age… I was told not to eat tree nuts, and now coconut it’s a tree… read more
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

I have been taking Benadryl tablets for the last 6 months for itching caused by food allergies. I am obviously allergic to something that I have not figured out yet.

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
Do you have anything you use in place of the Benadryl?
I have a medical condition that makes it dangerous for me to have any medicine with epinephrine in it. Does anyone else have this problem, and if yes, what do you do about it?
I take a 5mg of children's I carry with me before using my Avi-Q
It is totally normal to feel anxious about eating once you've been diagnosed, especially if it comes later in life. While living with any food allergy is not easy, it is definitely manageable! Once… read more
