| Have you a food allergy and how do you cope with it?
I have rotten food allergies to an array of things. My tongue swells and I get hives particularly on my face. I avoid the allergens as best I can but when I eat out I am naughty and take antihistamines so as to avoid a fuss and I eat and drink what I want. I pay for it with sinusitis and eczema for days/weeks afterwards though. How about you?
thanks everyone so far-
Babycake thanks for alll the info but I dont have coeliac's disease. I've had the blood tests. I'm allergic to moulds and cultures and things that have moulds on them (cheese, yoghurt, mushrooms, raisins, fruit skins etc). And it's definitely allergy. However, your answer will most likely be of great use to some people reading it, who may be undiagnosed coeliacs. Food intollerances and allergies are so common place in modern society that it's scary. |
