Good Epinephrine Injectors... And... GO!
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since Mylan has decided to sky rocket the prices of their EpiPen, I'm looking for new epinephrine injector. Anyone know of any that are just as good if not better than EpiPen that are also affordable?

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

If you have private insurance, Mylan is doing $0 copays for the EpiPens with a coupon. Just google "EpiPen coupon"

Sea Salt Allergy
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anybody get a watery, foamy mouth when you eat sea salt? I get violently sick (sweaty, stomach pain, nausea) when I consume sea salt, but doctors won’t listen to me. Can you use an epi pen? It feels like some sort of anaphylaxis.

Is Anyone Unable To Take Benadryl Or Use An EpiPen?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 Am Afraid To Take My Epipen.
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

In the Epinen, there is an additive called Sulfites, and i am allergic to the product. In my case, should i take the chance to inject if I really have to? I am very careful on what I eat, I'm very limited in my choices of food, so shouldn't i still be careful in this case also? I wish they would remove sulfites out of wine, I would sure love to have a glass lol.Thank you.

Hi people, I have just about had enough of bland boring food just the same every night, some veg is allowed, little fruit and gluten free a must. I can't find a decent veggie sausage anywhere. Climbing the walls without them! Help?

Do Your Doctors Ask If You're Still Allergic To The Foods You Say You Are?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Every time I see my doctor he ask if I am still allergic to coconut. I am not gonna eat & find out. Then get yell at by the hospital. I am tired of it every appointment.

Hi, I'm Not Sure If I Belong Here Or Not, You See I Don't Have Allergies Nor Does My Child. My Nephew Has Nut Allergies.
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I keep all nut products up from where he can reach them, however that still makes me nervous when he comes over. I worry that maybe he might touch something that does have nuts and I just didn't know. Another question I have is at what age should they know when to ask about nuts in food or before they touch food with nuts in them? If I should not be on this site just calmly let me know and I will get off. Thank you

Be careful that you clean keyboard if he will use it. My husband ate walnuts while working on computer. My son played on it and broke out in hives (from the oil left on keys).
