Avatar n tn "The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network" has lots of information, most of it aimed towards kids. I just checked (it's the dot org site) and they have cookbooks as well as recipes. BTW...I'm allergic to soy and have problems both with food and topical. Soy is in lots of shampoos (not sure about baby shampoos), lotions, soaps, ink etc. I can always tell when I'm using something I shouldn't because it makes me itch like crazy...then I get a rash.
Avatar m tn It is Spring in Wisconsin the trees our polinating. About this time, I sometimes get a slightly sore throat, some nasal discharge, loose stools, pressure in my ears, neck and throat. What can be done for this? I read holding your nose sometimes helps to loosen up mucous. Any ideas? Please appreciate your suggestions.
231441 tn?1333892766 The asthma/allergy disease, as you have described it, is definitely beyond the expertise of your current doctors and should be managed by a board certified allergist with a high degree of experience with food allergy, including reduction of the risk of anaphylaxis. I strongly recommend that you consider consultation with a medical school university hospital affiliated allergist specializing in food allergy.

Avatar n tn We moved to Texas when I was just two or three years of age. My two sisters were born and raised in Texas. My paternal cousins were born and raised in Wisconsin and in Texas. We all have asthma, but only mine has been disabling. I had exercise-induced asthma until young adult-hood. Since then I have had only allergy-induced asthma. Mainly, it's stuff that blows on the wind such as mold, grass, weed, and tree pollen.
Avatar n tn Lookout for milk hidden in certain products, like candy bars, and processed foods. You can check out the food allergy network for products that are milk free. I wonder if the diarrhea your baby is having is normal. Infants, especially breastfed infants, have very frequent bowel movements. I couldn't change diapers fast enough. If there is no blood present, then I wouldn't worry too much. If you are still concerned, you could have your pediatrition run an analysis on a stool sample.
Avatar n tn As allergic reactions are IgE mediated, blood tests will show increase in these levels secondary to a food allergy. The problem with the food allergy testing is sometimes the amount of food they challenge with may be not sufficient to elicit any allergic reactions. When such food is consumed in large quantities can elicit allergic reaction in the form of hives, redness of skin, itching etc. You need to note down such food also in your diary and avoid the intake in future.

Avatar f tn Up to 20% of the population perceive themselves as suffering from food allergy but only 1-2% of adults have genuine food allergies. The most common culprits are peanuts, milk, eggs, soya and shellfish. You will have to observe if repeated consumption is causing this problem. However, the diagnosis of allergy is difficult to prove or refute. Clinical suspicion and trial of elimination diets are used. An allergy specialist might be able to help you.

Avatar n tn Well, if you find that your tongue is sensitive to these fruits, then it could be due to the pollen in them. Kiwi allergy is due to the birch pollen allergy. Orange allergy is also due to the allergy to orange rind. The only thing that can help you is avoid these food items. Is it that you are sensitive to fresh fruits or are you sensitive to food ingredients too as in sauces, jams , juices etc. “As mentioned, the Birch pollen-Apple oral Allergy Syndrome is commonly seen in the UK.
