Food Allergies Treatment

I ‘ve never been to the USA before.
And thinking about going.
But one danger will have been…

I have a nuts (especially peanuts) allergy.
I’ve got Anaphylactic shock once.
It wasn’t slight.
I survive finally with the emergency cure.
But could be dead.
So I must never eat any kind of foods include peanuts even little volume.

Please tell me something about it in the USA.
Little bit advice can be accepted, of course!!
Any foods in shop or anywhere have indications about raw materials?
I want to know about the understanding of the food allergies or peanuts allergy in the USA.
Because here in Japan, though the indications are, most people don’t know how a peanuts allergy is risky.

And another,
Actually, I or the Japanese have a stereotype that peanuts is American or European food and they eat it often.
Like the song “Take me to the ballpark” or cake and bread with peanuts butter.
Do you eat in lunch break often?

Sorry for the abstraction sentense and bad English><

Just today, we found out that our 2 year old is allergic to at the very least, walnuts, and probably other types, including peanuts. I have a call into my allergist to get him formerly tested – something that I was putting off until the new year (and new insurance) but with this call from his pediatrician I now have a message with my clinic to try to get him in tomorrow or Monday for more testing. For the time being, my pediatrician prescribed an epi pen for us to carry around.

I am scared to death that I will be the mom to the kid in the classroom with the peanut allergy. How do you deal with it? Are there any good resources out there for me to figure out what name brand foods to avoid, etc.? Am I over reacting? Will I become or need to become a label reader?

Help! I appreciate your assistance in advance.

I have been struggling with “chronic hives” for years, doctors cant figure out what causes it. Last week I did a little experiment of my own and found that i seem to react when i eat products with white flour (bread, tortilla chips, etc.) or starchy foods. I cut these products out for a week and minimal reaction when I ate. I ate only 100% whole grain/ wheat products. Has anyone heard of allergy to only WHITE FLOUR products?

I love shrimp, lobster, and crab.

But the 2 times (first on purpose, then on accident) that I had scallops, it was followed by 24 hours of excrutiating pain – vomiting, diarhea, cramps, and I literally could not get out of bed unless I was lying next to the toilet.

What could explain this? Someone once mentioned something about mercury or something, but I don’t buy it. And should I stay away from
foods like clams and oysters because of such an adverse reaction to scallops?

Thanks!
* I’ve never broken out in any type of hives, rash, or otherwise, just stomach trouble. *

My daughter just turned 1 and has been on alimentum, a hypo allergenic formula. We tried whole milk and she got a rash around her mouth instantly, then we have had her on soy for about 3 days now and she seems to be getting a light rash on her body.

She currently does have her first diaper rash ever, well i thought it was a diaper rash and the MD said it may be yeast so we are using some rx to clear it up.

I dont know if it is that rash or the soy. I am so sick of guessing so I made an appt with the allergist and I am going to have her tested to just “KNOW” if she has an allergy and then go from there.

Can anyone tell me what to expect? I know its the skin prick test on her back, will this hurt bad? I had a big one done when i was a kid in school, but NOT a baby…

Would love some personal advise or stories..

Thank you
