Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Wry Smile: Blood tests show I have food allergies but I don’t have symptoms can I still eat the food?
I tried soy milk for the first time a month or so ago and I couldn’t breathe well after I had it. When I went to the doctor she did an allergy test on my blood and as expected it said I was allergic to soy. But as well as soy it showed I am allergic to wheat, peanuts, walnuts, and corn. I eat wheat, peanuts, and corn products all the time with no problems. Is it okay if I continue to eat these foods? I have an epipen if anything does happen.

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.

Answer by you_me_us16
What are the symptoms of wheat allergy?
Allergic reactions to wheat (IgE-antibody mediated) usually begin within minutes or a few hours after eating or inhaling wheat. The more common symptoms involve the skin (urticaria, atopic eczema, angioedema) gastrointestinal tract (oral allergy syndrome, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting) and the respiratory tract (asthma or allergic rhinitis). Ige-mediated reactions to gliadin or gluten can cause urticaria, angioedema or life-threatening anaphylaxis in association with exercise. Other gluten-containing cereals (rye, oats and barley) may also cause these symptoms due to cross-reactivity of the allergens.
