Food Allergies Treatment

Question by haleysmom: Avoiding peanut allergies. I was advised to wait until my daughter was 3 before giving her peanuts.?
She is 16 months old and got a hold of some peanuts and ate them. She didn’t have any allergic reaction but I don’t know if I should now give her peanuts regularly or should I wait until she is three before giving her anymore. Does anyone know?

Answer by Amy B
Yes. Wait until she’s 3. Don’t give her peanut butter either. For the same reason.

Question by Chad: Would taking Antihistamine Tablets before drinking relieve my allergy to alcohol?q?
Alright, so the question states a few facts:

1. I am allergic to alcohol
2. I take antihistamine tablets to relieve the itching symptoms from the allergy

My allergy is flaring up skin, cramps in my groin area & stomach(during the alcohol consumption)

However, I’ve recently gone drinking, where this doesn’t seem to affect me as much. Given that the last time I drank, it was mostly Scotch and Whiskey. Prior to this, my last 2 allergy attacks have happened during the consumption of beer.

Anyone know if I’m allergic to BEER only? (I have no wheat allergy etc.etc.)

On a second note, anyone know if the Antihistamine Tablet taken before drinking will stop the alcohol from causing an allergy?

Thanks in advance!!

It could kill you to mix those, antihisamine have the effect of making you drowsy and making the effects of alcohol more intense, your blood alcohol level could become toxit witihout you knowing so I would definatly talk to a doctore before you do that.

beer is fizzy, you could have a stomach problem like ibs. look it up

Question by caltam84: Why do some people drive drunk despite that they know is dangerous and before they go drinking?
I know that this question is cliche and asked so many times by others.

Here are 2 analogies listed below:

An analogy is a person who has knowledge that drinking sulfuric acid is most definitely lethal. He knows that sulfuric acid is NOT potable. Yet, he drinks the sulfuric acid and maybe lost his life.

Another analogy is a person who is allegic to shellfish goes to an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. He’s aware that his allergies can cause serious hospitalization and maybe death. Despite that, he ate the shellfish and suffered terribly.

Because no one gets in a car thinking “I’ve probably had too much to drink and will kill myself or someone else if I drive” instead choosing to believe “I am in complete control when I drink and drive because I am ‘tough’ or ‘cool’ enough to handle it”.

Question by Sarah: Peanut allergy when you didn’t have one before?
My husband, who is only 22, told me a few days ago that whenever he eats peanuts his throat swells up a little and he has trouble swallowing. He also told me that his eyes start tearing and twitching whenever he ate a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. He says this has been going on for a few months and he just thought to mention it now (typical guy behavior). It sounds like a peanut allergy or intolerance and he said he’ll go to the doctor (and stop eating peanuts in the meantime) but is it common to develop an allergy like that when you’re in your 20′s?

Question by NOT USING Y!A ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!: I’ve asked this before, but all the answers couldn’t help at all.?
Hi, I need to gain weight. I am 17, 5’3″ and 104 lbs. I have problems gaining weight because I’m on such strict diets due to my food allergies: Milk and Shellfish, and I have IBS, which makes it hard for me to digest carbs.
I really need to gain weight and I have no clue how, working out doesn’t help at all, I’ve tried time and time again, I end up loosing more than I gain in muscle mass, and I lose my curves, I want to keep my breasts and butt and thighs.

What do I do?

Last time I asked this someone copy and pasted an article that said for me to eat cheese and drink more milk and eat more breads. Obviously, they didn’t read that I have allergies, so here’s a reminder: I’m allergic to Milk and Shellfish and have problems digesting carbs.
Oh and don’t tell me to eat more McDonald’s or something like that, I don’t need sarcasm, I want to stay healthy.
