Common Questions and Answers about Spiriva and peanut allergy

Avatar f tn You are obviously doing the right things, including mouth washing after drug use and you are correct that the Spiriva and Duo-neb do not contain any steroid. Unfortunately, some individuals develop allergy to the ipritropium in the Duo-neb or to Spiriva and the drug simply irritates the membranes of the mouth allowing the thrush to take hold. That you also develop candidiasis under your breasts suggests that you might, for some reason be predisposed to this infectious agent.
Avatar n tn Yes, excess mucous can be a sign of peanut allergy. Peanut allergy can also cause worsening of asthma. This allergy is more prevalent in children than adults and you might want to avoid peanut butter for a few years.
Avatar f tn For now, keep peanut products away from him and read labels and watch for warnings. There are labels warning of products that are not peanut products that say that they are made on the same equipment as where peanuts were processed. Be on the alert for this, depending on how severe his allergy is. I'm sure your son's pediatrician or allergist must have also tested for all other nut allergies. Be on the look out even if he tested negative for the other nut allergies.
Avatar f tn I have a niece that has a peanut allergy and a nephew that has a severe peanut allergy. He carries an epi pen with him but he is in his twenties and has had the peanut allergy since he was a child. My niece is only five years old. Her mom is not allergic to peanuts , but my niece is allergic to peanuts. You have to be careful of ice cream too as this could contain traces of peanuts. My niece's mom is extremely careful.
Avatar n tn I've been using Spiriva nearly 10 years and this year my PSA results spiked from less than 1 to above 6. Where did you get your info regarding the statistics on prostate cancer, as I would much like to study it.

467126 tn?1283144858 s a superstition that your child could develop a peanut allergy if you do. I, however, ate peanut butter every single day and my kids are allergy-free!!!
Avatar n tn Peanut butter is good for u and baby.
Avatar f tn He is fine now but what I do not understand is that just last week, we were eating junk food such as snickers, reesees cups, and McDonalds and he was just fine. And just today he was at school and he ate regular peanuts and responded to them so terribly. I thought if someone has an allergy to peanuts, wouldn't it be bad for them to consume products that consists of peanuts? He didn't get sick last week from eating that food, but he got really sick today. I am totally confused.
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. It could indicate an allergic reaction. More so if repeated episodes have occurred with consumption of peanut butter. Allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies, which are released on exposure to a particular allergen. These in turn activate mast cells and lead to a local response or systemic anaphylaxis. Antihistamines may help to relieve the symptoms. It may help to maintain a food dairy and keep monitoring your symptoms.
Avatar n tn I have emphysema. i use advair twice a day and spiriva one a day. The biggest problem for me is that I always seem to havemucus build up in the mornings. My doctor has told me to try mucinex, but that doesn't seem to work all the time. So i try using albuterol in the morning to help loosen up the mucus so that I can breath better.
427382 tn?1298209586 I have never heard the peanut butter while breastfeeding thing either. I definately ate a lot of P.B. while nursing my son - all 15 months! I did not eat chocolate or anything else with caffiene. and brocolli, cauliflower and sauerkraut DEFINATELY made him gassy. I think those are the only things I couldn't eat.
Avatar f tn To protect the girl, students in her class at Edgewater Elementary School are required to wash their hands before entering the classroom in the morning and after lunch, and rinse out their mouths, Wait said, and a peanut-sniffing dog checked out the school during last week's spring break. Wait said school leaders will meet this week with parents to address concerns and try to halt inaccurate rumors that children's mouths were being wiped with disinfectant.
Avatar m tn This is a blood test which measures IgE antibodies in blood against suspected allergen (substance causing allergy). A repeat intra-dermal and RAST test for peanut and shrimp should be conclusive enough. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.
Avatar m tn t be in the same room with peanut products, because just breathing the air with peanut dust and oil can cause anaphylaxis. I know that the smell of peanuts will even trigger migraines for me, so I myself can still have a reaction if I'm in the same room with peanut products.
Avatar n tn They have checked for lupus, diabetis, wegeners granulomatosis diaease and more. No allergy testing done yet. I have had 5 back surgeries and have rods from L-2 to S-1, I am on alot of medicine because of this. For my lungs I take brovana, budesonide, and mucomyst in my nebulizer, spiriva, predisone, and pro air inhaler. The doctor had me start taking prilosec 2 x a day for a month to see if it helps with my acid problem which can effect the lungs. Thank You for any help you can give me!
Avatar n tn To give some background - I have always had stomach problems. As a child I was frequently constipated and had regular stomach upsets. In college I would regularly feel very sick, and I had rashes near my elbows on my arms, and my eyes would constantly be swollen. I have also always had weight problems, and I am struggling to maintain a healthy weight right now. I am also constantly exhausted, but I have just learned to sleep 10 hours a night.
Avatar n tn The common existing food allergens are Peanut flour, peanut butter, powdered egg white, Powdered/fresh milk Soy milk, soy flour Wheat breads, flour etc. 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.
Avatar n tn Although I get good (better) results from the combination than Symbicort alone, since starting the Spiriva, I am experiencing very dry mouth, and nasal passages to the extent that I occasionally experience light bleeding when I blow my nose. My questions are, How serious is this side effect, Should I continue using the Spiriva, Continue the Spiriva but stop the Symbicort, or Drop both and just take Combivent which I currently use as my emergency inhaler?
Avatar n tn I have tried several different brands of peanut butter including natural and organic peanut butter. And this has started happening within the past year or so. What could this problem be? Am I becoming allergic to peanut butter or am I intolerant to peanut butter all of a sudden?
Avatar n tn If you are taking Duoneb there is no point in taking Spiriva because Spiriva is related to the ipratropium that is a consitituant of Duoneb. Also Spiriva is extremely drying which may be why you are feeling so uncomfortable. To be using Duoneb five or six times a day you would have to be close to death. Obviously you aren't, so you can cut back without any problem. I have serious COPD and my use of Duoneb averages 3.5 vials daily. The big question is - how bad is your COPD?
4715985 tn?1371582997 I hate peanut butter so much too a point rmthat it makes me feel sick (ever since im a kid actually) but if its actually true then ill suffer and eat that darn peanut butter for the sake of avoiding peanut allergies. It just sounds like a old wives tale to me really. I mean if my kid is allergic to something its its his genes already, no?
Avatar f tn What is causing it? I fed her peanut butter once and this happened and my roommate fed her peanut butter on a seperate occasion and nothing happened except for her loving it! I feed her out of a plastic bowl for the time being that I wash every day. Since Charley is so new to our house there are no scratches or anything in the bowl and she is getting a metal one in the next couple of days.
Avatar n tn Common COPD inhalers that contain steroids are Advair, Symbicort, Breo and Dulera.
Avatar f tn Allergists do have treatments available for treating expectant mothers that other doctors may not think about, allergy shots top the list as they are very effective and not medicinal (natural allergens introduced to reteach the immune system not to over react to them). While you are waiting to get in with your asthma docotor, talk to your pharmacist about what allergy medications are safe to take while expecting.
Avatar f tn after checking, this bladder problem is a side effect of Spiriva...I had used Spiriva for over a year and the infections/non-infections got more frequent until I had to go to the urologist...I was on Azo Standard most of the time. I alerted my pulmonologist as to my problem and he took me off the Spiriva. Since being off the Spiriva, my breathing has gotten worse....my Dr said there was no replacement for Spiriva...I'm writing to find out what others might know.
