Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Alibigirl: I have food allergies to milk, soy. Also to mold, grasses, weeds, trees?
I am having a hard time with diet now that I am trying to avoid the things that are triggering my allergies. Some sort of soy or milk seems to be in alot of things. Also have a handout from my allergist stating that mold is in fruits, wines, beer, vinegar etc. I love salads but all dressings have something that is based with the things that I am allergic to. Please help me find some good foods to eat so my diet that I have to follow won’t be so boring and cause me to worry about everything that I eat will throw me into an allergic reaction. I ate at Taco Bell, a mistake, had a taco and asked for it without cheese and sourcream, they put it on, I ended up scrapping it off, but an hour later I started to feel funny. Help….

I understand what you are going through. Our four year old has similar allergies. When we go to birthday parties, restaurants or anywhere outside of home I have to cook food for him. I have to be creative so that he does not feel out of place.

This is hard.

I had to give up my job so that I can fix special food for him. Friends and family members have started to understand allergies but some of them still don’t understand the severity.

The best thing I can recommend is to start to learn how to fix food at home. To get varity in your diet pick foods from different cultures apart from regular American food – Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Mexican. Most of these food will ask you to put things that you are allergic and all you have to do is to not put these in the dish and still make it very tasty.

Good luck. Once you get to know how to cook variety of dishes you will not find anything unusual about the “new normal”.

eat six meals a day instead of three small ones instead of large ones but eat a fair amount.
if you got some cash buy some creatine for and buy some protein say plus and take these daily..
protein repairs the muscle while creatine will build it.
do some push ups sit ups lift some weights not every day either or muscle tissue will waste its self thats where creatine and protein helps.
eat fish – turkey – tuna – salmon – fish – chicken – lean beef –
water to heaps
only runa t football and training as you burn calories running and this doesn’t help gain weight

Question by Brokn: What brand of chocolotes isn’t prepared on equipment also used for peanuts or treenuts?
My sis has a bad allergy to all nuts but so far, every brand we’ve read the labels on all say the chocolate is prepared on equipment that has also been used for peanuts and tree-nuts. I’d love to buy a treat for her that is 100% safe for her to eat. We’ve even tried organic chocolate but the warnings are on the labels too.

Question by Carol Rushing: If I am highly allergic to shellfish could I also be allergic to iodized salt?
just been told I have Allergy asthma and found out that I am allergic to shellfish my asthma attacks have gotten worse in the last month I have been eating a lot of pickles, apples, and lemons with iodized salt. Could this be making my attacks worse?

Answer by caz
I guess its possible. It could also be that your asthma is worse due to the weather, infection, pollen etc. Best to get it checked out by your Dr rather than trying to self diagnose.You may need an increase in your asthma meds. until you get it under control.
cheers caz
