Im Allergic

Amy Jones Anichini, Founder and CEO says: Keeping food allergic children safe on Halloween isn’t easy — but we have a way you can do it while maximizing the fun factor of trick-or-treating! Our strategy begins with allowing them to trick-or-treat and show off that costume, but make sure they don’t eat ANYTHING from the bag until a parent goes through it at home. Believe it not, that’s when the fun really begins!

Before Halloween, stock up on safe, desirable treats for them (remember to read every label every time), and don’t limit yourself only to food items.  Have plenty of age- and gender-appropriate toys on hand, too (such a mini Play-Dough tubs, Silly Bands, temporary tatoos, and trendy trading cards).  When your children have finished trick-or-treating, let them trade the candy they’re allergic to for the safe candy and prizes. Make a celebration of it – instead of feeling deprived, your food allergic child can feel extra special!

Hi, i am allergic to fruits and vegetables, the only ones that i know of that i can eat are mangos, grapes and peppers. usually i just try to eat these groups canned, cooked, or dry. but i really do miss eating them, would getting allergy desensitization/immunotherapy shots help? can you even get those shots for food allergies? if not, what are my other options?

I tell you what. I will trade my allergy to wheat for your fruit and veggie allergies. Wow! I have never heard of this. I hope you get a good answer. I once took the shots for grass and trees and the like, but really don’t remember if the food things were included or not. I am also allergic to tomatoes, but ignore it. In my experience, I can get away with eating a little wheat and tomatoes(pizza) without symptoms. But if I really go wild, I turn into a mess.
Talk to your allergist about this. Perhaps he can help you.

a food intolerance test ? Im getting a food allergy test done this Friday will it show up all the things im allergic two or do I have to get another one for food intolerance .

What Is a Food Allergy?
A food allergy is an immune system response. It occurs when the body mistakes an ingredient in food — usually a protein — as harmful and creates a defense system (antibodies) to fight it.

What Is Food Intolerance?
Food intolerance is a digestive system response rather than an immune system response. It occurs when something in a food irritates a person’s digestive system or when a person is unable to properly digest or breakdown, the food. Intolerance to lactose, which is found in milk and other dairy products, is the most common food intolerance.

i feed my bulmastiff dick van patten’s duck & potato allergy formula which seems to have helped with his food allergy but now he has a horrible odor which from some research i think might be yeast. My vet says the medications for a yeast infection are harsh and may cause liver or kidney problems is there anything else i can use to get rid of the odor/yeast problem?

it all depends on where the yeast infection seeing as i don’t know this ask your Vet what you can do

I want to get a food allergy test so I can figure out what causes me to break out. Should my doctor be able to produce me one? Or do I go somewhere else? >.>

You go to the doctor, he refers you then the hospital call you to schedule the test so you can go for it

I’ve had some symptoms I think may be related to food allergies.Is it any home treatment for food allergy?

The only 100% effective treatment for food allergies / intolerances that i know of is to completely avoid the food that is upsetting your system…… and the health benefits that will result will have you glowing with health.

I’ve got more food allergies / intolerances than any person should ever have to live with.

I wish so much that there was a home remedy for you buddy …..;0)

I started getting a small rash on my lower stomach 3 days ago and the next day i had one on my lower back on the same side. I realized that it popped up when I tried fiber bars for the first time. The last bar I had was 2 days ago and the rash is still here and when I rub against it, it is slightly painful. How long will it take to go away and is it something other than a food allergy?

take antihistamine or diphenhydramine hcl. or better yet, consult your doctor, they know best.

I am allergic to soy and dairy. I had soy on Monday, and it gave me a horrible burning spot in my throat/in the back of my mouth. I went to the doctor, she checked me out and said this was my food allergy. I also have sore/swollen lymph nodes in my neck.

The allergic reaction happened on Monday, but my throat still burns from it. Is this bad?

Really severe food reactions can last at least 2 weeks–maybe more.

Make sure when you take a shower or bath, you have it as cool as you can stand it. Hot and very warm can cause more histamine release.

Hope the doctor gave you allergy pills, or an Rx, or an epi pen. Are you taking Benadryl? You should have allergy pills and an epi pen on hand.

Third grade class makes a movie on food allergy awareness and what the class does to support two classmates with serious peanut and tree nut allergies.
