Food Allergies Treatment

Question by beebs: Is your chronic illness really just a food allergy?
3 years ago, I was completely crippled and bedbound. I had to wear braces on my hands. I was diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, hidradenitis (boils) and many other things. I realized that I felt worse after eating certain foods. I had allergy testing done, and found out I was allergic to wheat, eggs, soy, commercial dairy, peanuts, tomato and avacado. Once I eliminated these allergens from my diet, I healed completely and all of my health issues resolved. I have cheated on my diet 5 times in 2 years, and all 5 times I ended up with horrible flare ups. As long as I stick to it, I am perfectly fine. I am convinced that undiagnosed allergies are the root of most illnesses. I do not take any supplements or medications. I wanted to pass this on to others who are suffering needlessly. I recommend keeping a food diary for a couple of weeks to see if your symptoms get worse after eating certain foods (free online diary at nutridiary.com) or get allergy testing done.
I hope this helps someone. I would have loved to have known this before I wasted 12 years in bed, in pain.
I realize this is not for cases for genetic illness, but many of the newer type diagnosis may benefit from this
I had standard skin prick testing done, then followed up with blood testing. Visit an allergist or consult your physician

Glad this helped you, but please don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s the answer for everyone with a chronic illness. Many of them are genetic and have nothing to do with food allergies.

Question by heatherjohnson911: I am allergic to iodine/shellfish. I had a CT scan with dye back in Sept. Could this cause longterm illness?
I WENT TO A LOCAL ER BACK IN SEPT.BECAUSE I HAD CHEST PAINS AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE HEARTBURN. I WAS ADMITTED AND GIVEN NUMEROUS TESTS TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THIS AILMENT. I WAS GIVEN A CT-SCAN WITH DYE AT THAT TIME. PRIOR TO THIS TEST I WASN’T ASKED ABOUT ANY ALLERGIES TO SHELLFISH OR IODINE. RESULTS SHOWED AN UNKNOWN MASS NEAR MY LUNG. I AM STIL SEEING DOCTORS FOR DETERMINATION OF MASS. HOWEVER SINCE BEING RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS SYMPTOMS. FATIQUE, A RASH ALL OVER MY BODY AND WEAKNESS BEING THE MOST PROMINENT OF THEM. I AM SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER CT-SCAN NEXT WEEK AND WAS ASKED BY THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT MY ALLERGIES TO SHELLFISH AND IODINE. NOW I AM WORRIED BECAUSE I WASNT ASKED THIS IN THE HOSPITAL. COULD THESE SYMPTOMS BE RELATED TO THE CONTRAST I WAS ADMINISTERED DURING MY LAST CTSCAN?

First, knock off the caps, its hard to read.

Scond, with those allergies, you should KNOW that you NEED to report this, whether they ask you or not. A lot of meds conain iodine, not just the contrast.

I dont know that a reaction from sept would still be bothering you now, but it is worth mentioning to the doc.

However, being that the test saw a mass, it is poss the mass is cancer and this is the effects of the cancer.
