I have a mild mold allergy, and I accidentally ate bread mold. I feel a slight stinging in my throat, and some burning sensations in my chest. Could they be linked, or is it anxiety?

As far as molds go, a small amount of mold on bread is the least harmful as an allergen. Unless you ate a very large quantity, it’s most likely your symptoms are caused by anxiety.

Drink plenty of water, and you’ll likely be just fine. And throw away the rest of the bread! =)

If you’re still concerned, taking a regular dose of an anti-histamine like Benadryl may relieve your symptoms, and won’t hurt you if you’re not having an allergic reaction.If your symptoms persist or get worse, then you should seek medical attention.

If you eat alot of food, do you feel like you’re eyes get hazzy, watery, you feel dizzy and have forehead pressure? Is this by eating too much food at once or are these symptoms of food allergies?

nope, just sick.

My sister (over 30) was diagnosed with GERD and refuses to take her Prilosec. She has GERD appropriate reactions to peanuts and chocolate but insists that she is allergic and lives in fear or eating or coming in contact with them. She also had an adverse reaction to something and now believes she is allergic to eggs. She has never been diagnosed with these or any food allergies and all her symptoms are consistant with GERD. How do I help her be more logical about this?
Additional clarification. I believe that she is right to avoid foods that bother her. I have the same problems and I avoid problem foods but also take Zantac. But she doesn’t just avoid the foods, she is paranoid of them. And I really do not believe that it was the eggs that bothered her but something else that she had with the meal.

I encourage you to beware of professed doctors who give statements (e.g. "Prilosec is a dangerous drug. It is well documented that its use can lead to vitamin and mineral malasorption, intestinal dysbiosis and even a ‘leaky gut syndrome’. " ) without any proof of where this "well known" data comes from. These people will often make up statements like this in order to prove a point instead of trying to really help people.

While it is fine for your sister to avoid foods that exacerbate her gastric reflux, it does not mean she is allergic to them. At the same time, if she doesn’t want to take the Prilosec, that is her decision too. If she is truly "living in fear" of coming in contact with these agents then something more serious is going on and she should probably go see a psychologist to see if they can help her get to the root of her problems. I don’t think the GERD itself is the most serious thing going on here.
