Question by AllyCat: Go on a cruise with severe iodine ans shellfish allergy?
My family and I want to go on a cruise this summer. We aren’t sure if it would be a good idea though. My mom has a deadly iodine and shellfish allergy. It’s gotten so bad that she can’t even swim in the ocean anymore without getting a few hives. Would she be alright if we went on a cruise or would the air and the frequent mist from the water upset her allergies?

Yahoo answers is probably not the place to ask life and death questions. She needs to have a thorough discussion with her doctor about the wisdom of going on a cruise. One option might be to do a cruise on the Great Lakes if there is such a thing or a river cruise on the Mississippi or in Europe. That way salt water is avoided.

Q&A: If you have a tree nut allergy, does it mean you are also allergic to peanuts?

Question by person1500: If you have a tree nut allergy, does it mean you are also allergic to peanuts?
After i had a reaction to a brazilian nut, my doctors suggested i dont eat peanuts along with tree nuts. i happen to like peanuts and have eaten them all my life. do i really have to give them up?

Best answer:

Answer by Richard M
Peanuts don’t grow on trees. You may not actually have an allergy to all tree nuts either. I think your doctor is being overly cautious. Having said that, I believe that you might be wise to go to a specialist and discover exactly how broad your allergy is. That way you can know for sure how to be safe.

You have no doubt developed an allergic to something else. It could be peanuts if you ate anything that may have contained even a small amount of peanuts or peanut oil.

How do you deal with your child’s nut (walnut/tree nut) allergy?

Alan — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:22:37 +0000

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.

Anyone know of allergy to white flour products but not whole wheat?

Alan — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:22:36 +0000

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?

Should I eat wheat before a wheat allergy blood test?

Alan — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 07:22:16 +0000

I am having blood tests in a couple of hours and I’m wondering whether I should eat wheat before the tests?

I am trying to cut down on the amount of wheat I eat because I am in the middle of my exam period and wheat gives me really bad IBS

But if I’m being tested for it should I have some before my blood test?

Thankyou
