Food Allergies Treatment

Question by madmom: a friend had a possible allergic reaction to shellfish, she woke up next morning with rash swollen face & lips
this happened same way once before next morning after eating shellfish but reaction not as severe as this morning. Is it normal to have a reaction like this several hours after eating something like shellfish and is it possible to be tested for this allergy?

Best answer:

Answer by Paramedic Girl
It most certainly sounds like an allergy to shell fish, which is common.

First off, she needs to stop eating it. Secondly, for possible allergic reactions one should take a Benadryl immediately.

Her doctor can refer her to an Allergist for testing.

Hi, I’m breastfeeding our 3.5-month-old girl & I feed her about every 2.5 hours. At night, I feed her upon waking. But, after about the 4a or 5a or 6a feeding (depending on when the last feeding was), she twists and turns and pulls up her legs. I know it’s stomach cramps. And they seem to last until about 8a or 9a or 10a, and then she’s fine for the rest of the day. And yes, they do seem to abate when I feed her, but they certainly disrupt her sleep. To clarify, she is NOT screaming or crying when she has these cramps (she doesn’t have colic), just grunting and groaning. I can usually let her lay there & work it out for awhile, but she will work up to A scream, then I pick her up & try to burp & feed her. After that, if I lay her down, the cramps start up again. I have eliminated much from my diet, but not cow’s milk yet, should I try Soy milk? Or, could it be that I just have to be sure she burps when I feed her at night. … I’m a new mom. … Anyone else experience this?

Everytime in the morning i eat banana, cheese, milk or oat product i will feel of being over full or bloated or stomach ache or make me want to vomit. Why? Is this a serious problem? Am i allergy to this kind of food? …
I didn’t have this problem before, why now i have this problem?
help please.

I woke up this morning feeling sick and had diarrhoea and was wondering if it could be the milk i drank last night just before going to bed. I already know I am allergic to it, went to allergist and got tested. I did drink some in my coffee but just a little bit, and this happened as soon as I woke up, before I had my coffee.
