Question by Nicole: Anybody have celiac disease or know someone who does?
Celiac disease is really not a disease but its an allergy to gluten which is the ingredient needed to help hold breads together. Gluten is in wheat, barley, and malt. I have celiac disease and I was wondering how many people out there have it or know someone who has it or at least know what ot is?

I am getting a large breed dog who has food allergies. He is allergic to wheat, corn, and soy products. I am looking for a brand of dog food that is sold in the United States. Does anyone know any or have dogs with a similar condition?

Poor dog. Here is a link that has tons of information to help you. You can also get info from your vet, but more than likely they are going to try to sell you some expensive special brand of food. Good luck and thanks for your concern over your future pet. He’s lucky to have you as an adopted mom.

Question by insidious_22: Do you know any recipes that would work with the following allergies?
Dairy (all forms, milk, cheese, butter, etc)
Processed corn (corn syrup, corn starch, not the actual food corn)
Peanuts

I need something that doesn’t have any of that whatsoever in there. It’s so hard to find something.
There’s also a problem with soy milk. In fact, I think all soy products, but I’m not sure. I need help finding something for my little sister. She mostly eats chicken. She eats other things, but that’s the best we have. I’m looking for dinner recipes.

I could go on and on. But I won’t. Most pasta dishes with a tomato based sauce can be made without any of these. Also, most Asain dishes don’t contain any of these dishes. I don’t want to be mean, but you need to stop thinking American or most European foods and you will have a ton of choices. Think about Indian foods. Many of the gravies are creamy, but they are cooked with coconut milk. Asian food does use a lot of corn starch, but potato starch will have the same effect.

Question by no*more*chocolate: Milk Allergy: Are these typical symptoms???? OK, first of all I know I was stupid so please don’t tell me.
I’m 31 years old and have just been diagnosed as having a milk allergy. The allergist figures I have been allergic since childhood but other doctors have put the symptoms to other things… When I realized there was a problem it was because I broke out into hives, in addition to the normal gastric and migranes I normally felt.

But two days ago, I ate a tiny sliver of pizza with cheese on it and that cheese sent me into a tale spin. First hives, then immediate violent vomiting (so bad that I also vomited blood, pulled muscles in my right rib cage and did something to my throat!) On top of this while not really labored breathing was difficult and my chest felt really tight.

So that one little sliver of pizza sent me to the ER. Does anyone know if this is normal and WHY after 31 years of being a milk product junky that it would get this bad so quickly? I mean now even my shampoo, that has a milk rinse added, causes my head to break out. AHHHHH
The question is:

Does anyone know if this is normal and WHY after 31 years of being a milk product junky that it would get this bad so quickly?
I hadn’t been taken off milk before, my family doctor had always put it to other things, the gastric symptoms were IBS and the migranes were well, migranes. It was only when I went specially to an allergist that they diagnosed (through RAST) the milk allergy. I have only been “off” it for about 2 weeks and I haven’t been doing very well but after this episode I am now convinced I CAN”T have any. But still wondering if vomitting blood is normal.

Question by perkowskirocksthehouse: i’m having a birthday party and i know that some people may have nut allergies, ive checked all the food i hav?
i have checked all the food and it either says allergie information: wheat, milk, soy or something like that but nothing about nuts. the thing is i was looking at the cake mix and frosting and it said notihng about allergies. does that mean it doesnt contain nuts?

Best answer:

Answer by betsy
if it contains nuts there will always be a warning label,

even if it does not contain nuts there may be a label saying “product has been made in a factory where nuts are used etc” something like that, or may contain traces of nuts.

if you do not see any warning messeges about nuts then you are fine
