Allergies when eating

I don't have food allergies (none that I know of at least) so pretty much I can eat whatever I want. Oh, I do have gerd so I stay away from too much soda and coffee. But that's not allergy so.. I have a colleague who have so many food allergies and I find it amazing how she seems to know or memorize the food that she can and cannot eat. There are plenty of foods she cannot eat and I feel sorry for her for that. She says that she looks at her allergies the positive way- she make sure that what she eats are good for her body and nothing more. I think that's good- being aware of what we eat!

Having allergies is difficult specially allergies to food. Try taking over the counter antihistamine meds like benadryl before eating foods that may cause you allergy. This will help lessen the side effects if you can resist eating sea foods :) I have allergies on chicken and crabs too.. I think if you expose your body to your allergies is good. I have tried that and the result is positive to me. Now I can eat all the foods i'm allergic with, without experiencing any allergic reaction :)

I have some food allergies but not always. This is a sign that allergies appears when the immune system is low, in my case. In fact my allergies are not caused by food but by what chemicals it contains such as synthetic colorants or preservatives. You must check what substance is causing your allergy to seafood by making some tests. It might be caused not by the food itself but by a chemical preservative.

Many people get allergies from sea food. When I was 4 I had that same problem. Do you have red bumps on your chest? This is the ultimate sign of allergies. I got them too. The doctor told my dad not to feed me shrimps, hilsa, beef and so many other things. For a few months, my dad honored it. But then we totally forgot the list and I began eating all of that. Once more the allergies came back. But now in my 20s, I don't see it happen anymore. However, I do get allergies from walking near long grass and furry pets. This is new to me.

Hey, add me to the party. I am allergic to seafood but not to that extremity wherein you would start ot itch and look like fresh chicken skin? I itch but only at areas around the mouth including my throat. It is a horrible feeling and it makes me really moodless. Good thing for me, I hate seafood. The smell of it and its taste makes me want to vomit. The only seafood I eat is fish. Plain fish that is broiled, steamed, fried, etc. What I suspect is that I am allergic to food with shells and most seafood do have shells. Lobster, crab, prawn, shrimps, squid, clams, etc. They say I missed a part of my life because I do not eat seafood but I wish to differ because I enjoy staying away from it

Hi, Though I am a vegetarian and I find most of the food suiting me except for one that is eggplant/brinjal. . I get itching sensation around mouth. But when it is cooked adding tomato or tamarind, this allergy seems to fade away… though personally I do not like this vegetable, i avoid them.

I definitely had that allergy when I was in 6th grade. I don't understand how I suddenly got it, but it came to me for almost the entire year while I was in grade 6. I became allergic to chicken and seafood especially shrimps. I hated it so much because those are my favorite food! When it was still new for me I kept on eating and suddenly I would itch all over my body and then the rashes came. I had to be rushed to the doctors several times. But my hardheadedness continued and then I suffered, but I succeeded in overcoming my allergies. It's dangerous, so I don't suggest it to everyone who has allergies. Make sure to consult the doctor and get proper medication of your symptoms if you have allergies. To date, I can eat my favorite chicken dishes and seafood, especially shrimps, I just have to make sure that I also secure it's freshness. (^_^)

Normally i don't get allergies from eating a specific kind of food but i do get upset stomach when i eat a lot of junk so then i have to turn to homemade food a while then back to square one.

I feel bad for people with food allergies. I consider myself lucky for having none. I can eat whatever I want whenever I want. I have heard of people allergic to chocolates, eggs, and milk! Don't you have medicines you can take so you can take the foods you're allergic to? Also, I've heard of shock therapy where you are administered the allergens to make your body immune. well, goodluck!

Sometimes I am allergic to these foods sometimes they are fine with me and those are legumes-this will make my face get itchy and then pimples will coming out,seafoods-I will get the same as yours- rashes and itchiness and I will feel dizzy for some instant foods. I rarely have them so the allergic symptoms sometimes do affect me.(^^)

Allergies are actually the signs wherein there is the weakness of the body. It is not good to have allergies. This is the reason why we should have balance diet and enough rest and exercise. Allergies are really signs of the bodies that show that there is already something wrong. It is therefore wise for us to check whether if we have allergies or not. There is actually no consideration as to what kind of allergies we have, as our bodies react differently from each other. As long as there are allergies, then there are allergies.

I don't have allergies. But my fiance does. He is allergic to lama beans. One time my mother when I use to stay with her she fixed some mixed vegetable and they had lama beans in them. My mom didn't know. My fiance was eating them and not paying attention he ate the whole entire plate along with the pork chops. In a matter of minutes he started breaking out in hives and itching and his stomach started flipping and turning. His face was so red. So I know what you mean. I don't feed our son lama beans because of this either.

I like to eat also.I do allergic in corn.It cause itchiness and irritation.It also make my stomach feel back that lead to loose bowel movement which is really hard to deal with.

Hmmm, not that I recall. Im not allergic to seafoods though. But I have a few friends who i are allergic to seafood. May God Bless you: D is there no medicine for this?

i think i do have some allergies, with chickens but that is when i do eat a lot of chicken skin. ha ha i used to be allergic to shrimps before but i kind of outgrew it already...

I don't really have allergies with food...but yeah, that's what my friends have been saying. Eat what your allergic at in order to be immune with it. I do hope your allergy gets better. Seafood is really good to eat. Its one of my favorites as well.

Too bad you got allergies with seafood. They are my favorite specially crabs and shrimps. As far as I know, I don't have any allergies with food. I do not want to have one because I love eating soooo much!

Having alergies for certain food element can make life challenging for some people. I have a relative who has an allergy for gloten , think about all the serials she can't eat , all the bread ...flour...Those are basics that make many foods. There is even a familiar conditor (a cook who makes cakes and cookies) that his daughter has an allergy for gloten so he made a whole line of products without gloten. I personally don't know about allergies that I might have. On rare cases , if I eat a fruit , my appendix might hurt but it's not always repeat itself.

I do have them, after I eat some bread, I start to sneeze about 3-5 times in a row. And other times when I don't even eat anything. I get some reaction from things like peanuts and maybe chocolate at times, as I have eczema on my hands mostly. Lately I noticed a rash on my face too now. I try to stay away from the foods that give me the reactions but it is just so difficult, it is impossible actually, for me anyways. i wish there was a cure for allergies, so we wouldn't ever have them. I have been plaqued with them for awhile now.
