Keep things simple is the first thing, I'd say. I don't know what your allergies are, but I have a child who had a lot of allergies. I'd keep the food clean and focus on proteins, vegetables and… read more
Yes. Not fun.
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
What is in the food itself to cause the allergy?
I can tollerate organic versions of the foods I'm slightly allergic to better than the regular versions. :)
What is in the food itself to cause the allergy?
An allergy to food is to the food protein. An allergy to apples will cause a reaction to Organic and Non-Organic Apples, since the allergy is to apples. However, if you are allergic to something… read more
I am having a hard time handling my allergy. Partly because it's rare and people don't think about what it means and partly because alcohol is EVERYWHERE. I have been trying to be better about always telling waiters that their needs to be no alcohol in my food because I am allergic but i still get ignored alot because they believe the "alcohol cooks off" myth. But even if i manage to avoid it in food I often walk into a bathroom and someone has gone crazy spraying deodorant/perfume and I spend… read more

Grocery items I used to buy have sea salt included now. Some restaurants use sea salt now.
I forgot to add- I literally foam at the mouth and will drool uncontrollably afterwards. No one has ever heard of this that I've talked to. I generally stay away from shellfish/fish because I'm sure… read more
So, a couple of weeks ago on Facebook, I posted about "being killed by ketchup". That post was because I had bought a Simple Truth Organic Ketchup from Kroger and based on the ingredient label and the full overall label, I should have had zero trouble with the ketchup. But... the first time I used it, I had a severe reaction similar to when I am exposed to corn. I also had another product that I hadn't bought before and I blamed the other product. The following week I had the ketchup again and… read more
I have had allergic reactions to beef which we found out was not to the beef itself but to what the animal had been eating and another time to an antibiotic the animal had been given. It helped that… read more
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
