Food Allergies Treatment

Question by shallan a: could this be a food allergy? HELP!?
I am having some trouble finding out what it is i am eating that is causing me problems. every once in a while i get really bad gas often accompanied by diarrhea and/or nausea. i suspect milk and cut a lot of dairy products out, and now drink enriched rice milk, but the last few days i have been obviously eating something else that has negative effects on me, i have been eating a lot of wheat so maybe gluten? and also the last 3 days or so Ive eaten a lot of strawberries, could this be a strawberry allergy that ive suddenly developed/noticed.

any information on: allergies, development of allergies in adulthood (im 22), personal experiences, irritable bowl syndrome, anything i would welcome. I’m just at a loss, i really don’t know what this could be.

oh! other then this i am healthy and active, don’t eat fast food etc so it isn’t just poor diet in general.

Ok, I have lots of allergies, so I might be able to help. I would say to try different things, test different foods, and see what they do to you. Also, you need to keep in mind any and all environmental factors that could be aggravating our allergies. Bottom line, go see an allergist, and seek medical attention if your symptoms intensify severely.

Question by irasyazreen: recipe for toodler with cow’s milk allergy.?
hye. i have an one year old son who is allergy to cow’s milk since he was one month old, that mean he cannot consume anything that contains diary products such as yogurt, cheese, butter, etc. but he can handle soy milk as my doctor suggested it and he seems to have no problem with soy milk.
i always seek for healthy recipe for my son as i didnt like to buy baby’s food in a jar because most of them contains diary products. But the problem now is, many of the recipe that i found also included ingredients such as butter, heavy cream, cheese and yogurt. do u guys have any other recipe that do not contain any of these ingredients.?
i desperately need your help. i want my son to grow up healthy like others.

Question by Aubrielle’s mommy: Is it possible my baby has a cow’s milk allergy?
My daughter is 5 months. She has always been a VERY fussy baby. I love her, but sometimes i feel like i’m going crazy. She was exclusively breastfed until 2 weeks ago. She has her good days where she’s pretty content but then she has EXTERMELY fussy days where she just screams her head off. I recently put her on formula and she was doing really good for a few days then today she had one of her “screams her head off most of the day” days. She also has eczema that I have a hard time getting rid of. Anyways, my question is, could all of this fussiness and eczema be related to her having a cows milk allergy? I never cut dairy out of my diet…I never really thought to until i read an article right now about the allergy. and the formula she is on right now is Goodstart gentle which is made from cows milk. She isn’t fussy like this EVERYDAY so if she did in fact have a cows milk allergy would her fussiness be daily or would it come and go as hers does?

I’m just trying to find an answer as to why she has such bad days sometimes. It breaks my heart cuz i just don’t know what to do anymore.

thanks everyone

look for other signs like throwing up, unusual red “circle” like rash around her anus, and if shes breaking out anywhere but her face.

its possible she could just be adjusting to formula…i would call the doctor though just to be sure.

Question by S.: Recipes with Stevia, with no Wheat or Sugar? Desserts and/or Main Dishes? (I’ve got lots of allergies) ?
I’ve got lots of allergies, and my doctor has put me on a diet with no sugar, wheat, yeast, corn, or potatoes (among other things). Some of the things I CAN eat are organic berries, stevia (as a sweetener), rice flour, oat flour, organic beef, rice, granny smith apples, stuff like that. I believe it’s called the Candida Diet or something like that. If you have any recipes (especially desserts!) that use stevia instead of sugar, and something other than wheat or spelt, please share!

Question by : Nutrition/Meal Replacement Shakes for Vegans and Milk Allergy?
I am vegan and I do have a milk allergy. I have a weight issue and I am supposed to drink these to gain weight. Apparently eating 4 meals a day and having a bmi of 16 isn’t okay. Anyways, I had been drinking Ensure Plus (350 calories a bottle) and it had been making me sick. Stupid enough, I hadn’t checked it for milk. And it did in fact have milk in it.

Is there any other nutrition shakes you can buy. I don’t really want to fart around with powdered ones, I like the ones that come in bottles. Vanilla is my favourite. Oh, and I’m in USA, PA, and I’d like to be able to get these in grocery stores.
