About once or twice a year, I get an extreme allergic reaction to food - but I'm not sure which food causes it.

After eating, my stomach will feel like a pit of acid, and then I begin to get a horrible rash all over my body. The rash will start under my arms, between my legs, and on my chest - and it'll eventually go all over. It is unbearably itchy - even in my throat and eyes. My heart will begin to beat extrodinarily fast, and I will become very nauseus. It feels like there is swelling under my chin and that my throat is closing up.

The only thing that stops the allergy is two Benadryl tablets.

The symptoms are incredibly awful, and I honestly think that without an antihistamine I would probably die.

I've recorded the foods that have given me the allergy, and they seem unrelated: macaroni & cheese, chicken burger, cocoa powder... so I figure it must be some contaminant.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

My mom uses onions in almost all of her cooking, it doesnt have any effect on me. But when I cook and start cutting up onions, my fingers will be very very itchy after the cutting. Sometimes, after excessive scratching, i will have small bumps on my fingers. Ususally, there are liquids in these bumps. Am i really allergic to onions?

My fever is just due to something bad that I ate, coupled with very little rest I got in a couple of days. So what do you think, is it safe to eat an omelette?

I have had a runny nose for about 3-4 weeks, some days are worse than others. But i got a dog (short-haired) about a month ago and I really never had any sickness problems. Now I'm thinking maybe it's the dog or the dust inside the house? But I have another dog for 5 years which is long haired.

How can i figure out if im allergic to my new small pet. (short-haired) or if i got some odd disease.

Maybe i will get an answer this time?

Do you need more sleep and more rest when trying to get over seasonal allergies or does it not matter, since you aren't really sick?

Every so often my daughter develops what is almost like a "rash" of what appear to be mouthulcers.They develop specifically inside her bottom lip and are quite painful. I wondered what was causing this to happen and if it could be a possible signal of some sort of food intolerance as she does occasionally have pain in her stomach centered around the tummy button. Please help!!

Ever since I moved to Florida, I have been suffering from seasonal allergy, most of the time it gets into sinus infection or upper respetatory issue. My medical bill has of course increased, and my life is now limited for activities that I normally enjoy. Leaving the State is not an option. Help~!!

A few years ago, I started to notice that whenever I ate apples, my throat, my tongue, my lips, and the inside of my ears (which sounds weird, I know) began to feel really itching after just a few bites. It also felt like I had something hard and scratchy stuck in my throat and these symptoms would not go away until about 20 minutes later after I had drank about 3 glasses of water. I thought it was kind of strange since I had been eating apples my whole life and that has never happened but, I decided to stop eating them. At the beginning of last year, I ate a pear, and the same thing happened. Just a few weeks ago I tried eating a plum and I had the same results. So as of now, I can't eat nectarines, plums, apples, or pears without getting any of those symptoms. I don't know if it's an allergic reaction, or what. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out what's wrong.

Thanks! :]

I need an epi-pen with me at all times in case of stings by wasps and bees. Last time I was stung having been given one of these things there was some confusion as to when they should be used. The emergency doctor was asking me!!!

Should the epi-pen be used only once shock symptoms start, or immediately I have been stung before symptoms set in? I ask this because near my house is a wasps nest and I have had some very near misses with them and have just received new epi-pens as old ones were past the best before date....
Help please, this is urgent! Thanks.
