Are you allergic to any food? I have been having this problem.

Oh,, i think i am allergic with salty food.?Maybe don't eat that just give it t me because i have no food now? ha ha. what else you eat that makes you allergy?Just sent that to me put in the box and sent to in the airplane ha hah

Oh im sorry for what happened to you, hope the allergic wont turn bad and can be cured. Im allergic to eggs and I avoid meats, so I only eat vegetables and fish, shrimps or sea products. but my allergic is not that bad, if I eat egg i would have itchy all over my body but not until i get faint or like what you had. I never know anyone allergic to pork in sudden, I cant help much but I really wish you wont have this kind of allergic anymore.

Yep. Me. Pork was always one of my favorite meats, especially ham and pork chops and I'd eaten it all my life. A couple of years ago I discovered that every time I ate it, I started itching all over. There was no swelling or nausea, but it's a very strange itch - almost like it's inside my skin - a horrible feeling. At first I thought it was something in the "traditional" pork, so I tried organically raised pork, but it was the same thing. I also developed a lesser allergy to some nuts and seeds around the same time. The best way to tell is to not eat anything except food that you know is safe for a few days, then slowly add suspect foods back into your diet and see how you react. At least that's what they told me.

I call myself the "Alien" because I'm allergic to so many foods it seems that I should've been born on another planet! Regarding pork allergy, black pepper can make a pork allergy worse. You might find you can handle pork if you have NO black (or white) pepper with it. Now, you may be like some of my friends who think a meal isn't complete without pepper, but its just a suggestion. This does not include red peppers, like hollow peppers/chilies, only the black/white kind (I know, it comes in various colors - avoid all those).

I am occasionally allergic to prawns but frankly speaking, not always. So I never hesitate to consume prawns as I am very much fond of it.

You are lucky that your allergy didn't put your life at risk. My husband was told by the doctor when he had an allergy , that we should be careful of getting allergy because they make us short of breath and die. Hence, at the first sign of an allergy, we should take medications for it now to swell more and endanger our breathing. I guess in your case, maybe its the seasoning that you put in your steak, or the steak itself may not be that fresh anymore. Haven't they done a test as to determine what was it that gave you the allergy?

Allergies can pop up suddenly. I have a bad allergy to shell fish. If I try eating lobster & end up wretching & looking like the hunchback. I doubt it's the pork chop themselves that your allergic to. What are you cooking it in or seasoning it with. All lot of people are allergic to peanuts, are you using peanut oil?

Interesting. I have a similar itchy problem but not the swelling. I have been told that it is a complication of my illness, chronic fatigue syndrome. I had not considered an allergy. Years ago I got eczema for the first time in my life. I was told it could have been caused by the base metal necklace I was wearing. Then I got a rash from wearing wool next to my skin, the first time in 40 odd years. Now it means that I cannot wear wool next to my skin and I always used to be able to. I seem to have trouble with anything that tickles my skin as that causes an itch that just gets worse with scratching. For me the worst time is when I am trying to sleep and the itch starts on my ankles or wrists and the more I scratch the worse it gets until it drives me insane. My only solution is to take a pill. I use Telfast to kill the itch but it is not a cure and I wish I had one.

I wasn't aware of the fact that you can develop an allergy to foods you consume on a regular basis. I found out this is possible after reading other users responses to your topic. At first I tought the allergy was caused by an ingredient used to season the steak.

Allergic to pork. I've known so many who got sick because of too much indulgence in pork. They either suffer from cancer, hypertension or cardiac desease but I never have I encountered anyone who developed allergies to pork. I don't eat pork. I believe this one of the dirtiest meat ever so even if I am not a Muslim I don't eat pork so I am happy I am free from any pork allergy if indeed there is such a thing. So far I don't think I have serious food allergies with the food I eat. But I noticed I have some allergies with local chocolates so always refrain from eating them. I wonder what difference this local chocolates have over imported ones.When I eat just a piece of local chocolate I'd sneeze and sneeze but with imported chocolate never would I ever experience this.

That is bad to hear, about your problem. How can they diagnose you a cancer just like that. Its good that you don`t have it, its horrible disease. I think i am not alergic to any food, I didn`t recognize that. I was having some alergic few years ago. But it was alergic to mites and house dust. Its not good to have any alergic, but thay say its the most widespread disease these days.

I am allergic to certain chocolates though I am a certified chocolate lover. The good news is that not all chocolates are against my system but I still have to taste and observe which one can do me good or not. Sometimes my tummy is acting up against certain milk. And again I love milk. What a Life! It is just food but I cannot enjoy it that much. I develop some rashes when I eat foods that are somewhat fishy.

I actually started similar topic before I saw yours. Yeah I am allergic to chicken, citrus fruits and some veges. It affected my life. When my allergy strikes, my face is like a disgusting view of the year! I feel bad about my situation. The cream I put on and the pills I take just help for a short time. The allergy keeps coming back.

Shrimp :(

Oh my you have to be careful to avoid any types of foods that have given you an allergic reaction. You just do not know how it is going to react each time. A few times as a child I ate shrimp, but never any types of fish, just did not like any other type. So at age 19 I went in to have a cat scan and the dye they injected caused me to go into an anaphylactic shock. My neck instantly began to swell, I broke out terribly, could not breath and was stuck in a paralyzed position. Thankfully I was in the hospital having the test done when this happened. They immediately injected me with benadryl and I did not have any side-effects thereafter. After extensive testing it was found that I am highly allergic to any form of seafood so I have had to avoid it since then. I questioned why shrimp did not cause this in the past and they said perhaps it was just a newly developed allergy. It is important for me to inform any time I eat out that I am allergic to any form of seafood.

Maybe it is not the pork, but something that was used to season the pork? I am not allergic to anything that I know of. Of course, I haven't eaten every single thing in the world... so, there very well may be something I am allergic to. Lol
