I’ve had itchy mouth, wheezing, instant diarrhea when eating strawberries, although blood testing was negative. Today an apple made me feel light-headed, and “just not right.” My husband thinks it’s just anxiety (maybe it is). Is anyone else affected this way?
If I eat something sugary/starchy without protein, that will happen to me without exception. If I have a choice between fruit and low-fat yoghurt or nothing for breakfast I go for nothing because I… read more

My daughter thought she might be allergic to gluten she’s had blood test and stool test done but all come back normal, she went gluten free for a couple of months and felt fine but had to start eating gluten again for test she get bad pains in her stomach and can be sick, what else can I do to find out what making her feel this way
Testing is a great tool and is very helpful. I have found that keeping a diary of all food and drink is extremely helpful as we are all different. It might just be the combination of certain foods… read more
Watters eyes is my most telling symptom
We are making laminated cards in French and Italian to show waiters and store proprietors and to explain this is life or death-Allergic specifically to Cashew and pistachios and pink peppercorn.
I'm sorry but I just now found your message from a couple months ago! We had a fabulous time and were able to allow our daughter to eat at most every restaurant we visited! We always asked before we… read more
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?
Thanks I will try a nutritionist, coeliac disease I know about it's an auto immune condition. That doesn't bother me but having oral allergy syndrome does!
I also have sarcoidosis with lung involvement
It may be a allergic reaction to soy lecithin and even though I am highly allergic to soy it didn't show up in skin test for it. Had to ask allergist to do blood test. It came up on that
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 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
Suggestion on how to help your server in a restaurant be sure you don't get something you shouldn't have
CHEF CARDS
I have posted this before, but perhaps time to do so again. https://www.foodallergy.org/sites/default/files...
You can download these cards which you customize with your allergies or food intolerances. Laminate them and give one to your server when you go out to eat and ask them to show the chef. If you have foods that would require you to use your epipen if eaten - be… read more
I've almost always been thanked for using my chef card, I even make one in Spanish and French for when I travel. Only twice have I been told "we don't have anything you can eat". I also make sure I… read more
