Food Allergies Treatment

Question by SpecialHeart<3: When are you’re best “Looking” days – When u eat some junk in the day or 100% healthy?
TOday I was absolutely feeling great and looking beautiful when I was eating my usual low carb meal plan. After I ate two chewy granola bars, my face began to bloat even though it has a low GI of 19g carb. So now Im looking terrible and face is puffy. What could be up – an allergy to wheat or what? I dont get it.

Answer by nUts
Yeah sounds like an allergy. It doesnt matter what you eat in a day, you will look the same the next day. As long as it doesn’t keep repeating.

Question by Jasmine: What’s the best allergy medication for a daily regimine?
I have a pretty severe allergy to wheat and just got a part time job at a pizza parlor. (I know, not terribly smart but jobs are really hard to cone by in this market and beggars can’t be choosers.) I can’t stay in the building for more than a few hours without succumbing to a terrible migraine and difficulty breathing. Benadryl helps but I hear it’s really not healthy to take daily and it makes me drowsy. Is there anything OTC that is safe to take daily or will I need to get in for a prescription of something?

Answer by Ring A Doc
Claritin (loratadine) does not cause drowsiness and can be taken once daily. It comes in three over-the-counter forms: Tablets, 12-Hour RediTabs Tablets (melt in the mouth), and Liqui-Gels (liquid-filled capsules). You may want to consult a doctor before you begin taking any new medications.

Question by Karlee N: What are the best wheat free dry food brands and where can I get them?
My dog is Wheat free and I don’t think that her current dry food is going well for her. Also, what treats are wheat free. I’m rather new to this allergy thing. I feel bad when I can’t reward her for being good (for a Jack Russell). What sort of thing can I give her thats not like pigs ears or bones?

Best answer:

Answer by Pythoness
The best wheat-free dry food brand that I know of is Nature’s Variety Raw Instinct (which I think is just called Instinct now). This is the dry kibble that I feed to my dog. It is dry kibble, it isn’t raw, although it is meant to be rotated with their raw diet, you can feed it as a stand-alone diet. It has NO GRAINS WHATSOEVER. It’s great. You didn’t say where you are in the US, so you’ll have to go to their website and use their retailer locator to find a store near you that sells it. As a reward, use dessicated liver. You should be able to find it at most pet supply stores, under lots of brands. It’s basically real, raw, freeze dried liver with no added colors, flavors or preservatives. You can find freeze dried chicken treats too, but they tend to be more expensive. If you want to give her things to chew on, look for raw marrow bones.
