| What foods are you allergic too?
Posted: 1/16/2008 10:37:59 PM | Sometimes I think I am allergic to everything. I am allergic to caffeine so NO tea and coffee, I am dairy intolerant although I do cheat and have some. I am allergic to lots of different medications as well. I am also allergic to cats and dogs and as we have both and there is no way I am getting rid of them I spend most of the time feeling like I have a cold. Chocolate I can sometimes get away with as it is both dairy and caffeine. If I eat to much of it I get the opposite effect that everyone else does, I get very depressed on it so have to be very careful.

For some reason, I have developed an allergy to eggs as an adult. I go through little phases where I will eat eggs almost every day and when I do, I get eczema. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 12:21:32 PM | | I don't have any allergies to food, but I cannot tolerate several foods in my system. Mushrooms, mayo, bananas and all kinds of seafood make my stomach very very upset a few hours after eating any of those things. I do have seasonal allergies and I'm slightly allergic to my one cat who has a skin condition similar to excema (sp?) which gets worse with the seasonal allergies, although if I give her regular baths it's not too bad. | |

Posted: 1/19/2008 3:45:09 PM | hi, this is a weird one im allergic to paprika. - loveitmisty
My oldest son was allergic to paprika as a kid, too. I never use it, so we didn't know, until he ate some chili, at a school lunch program. I had to call Oliveri's to find out what was in the chili, to make him so sick.
And 4 of my kids, were all allergic to apple juice, when they were little.
And I am allergic to bran (wheat & oat). And coffee. | |

Posted: 1/20/2008 2:19:27 AM | | Hi thought I'd just toss this out to all of you who are uncertain if you have food allergies (but trust me, you are describing symptoms) . There is a blood test for them It's pricey, but money well spent. You cannot believe the difference it made when I stopped eating things I had delayed reactions to (those are the IgG mediated reactions, and lots of allergists don't pay any attention to them, but they can make your life miserable). The delayed reactions are what the blood test identified. Contact me separately if you want information. I only have a few categories blocked, so it shouldn't be too difficult to reach me. If you can't reach me, post here again, and I'll post the website. I'd do it now but it's nearly 2 am and I am too tired to go looking for it. LOL | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 5:49:11 AM | Fish, and I love fish, but it gives me problems. At ~16 I had a severe headache. They took me to the hospital to give me a cat scan to be sure that I wasn't bleeding. To get a cat scan you have to be injected with iodine.
Here is what I remember: I had an IV in my arm. The nurse (I think a guy) started introducing the iodine from a big syringe (50ml). I remember saying "eww that is getting hot"
He said "It should feel cold" and stopped the syringe.
I said "No, something it wrong with me."
That is all I remember. The guy was paying attention to what I said and only gave me ~10-15ml of the total 50ml, otherwise I would have died. It made me swell up like the kid on Willie Wonka. I was out, but my parents told me that my lips looked like they were going to explode.
Since that day I was allergic to fish. If I eat too much I break out in a rash. I eat some from time to time, but I am very careful. No shell fish. Well I have had ~5 bites of lobster in butter, and ~5 bites of crab in the last 20+ yrs but that is it. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 3:07:16 PM | | According to allergy tests, I have no food allergies. However, overeating chocolate and spicy foods within the same week causes hives. Even had a reaction to rootbeer once many years ago. Too much chocolate is also a migraine trigger for me...often brand related. | |
