Like someone mentioned earlier you're stuck with your allergies. I too was told that allergies happen in stages, certain times it affects you more than usual, and other times barely even a symptom. Then there are stages where you gain a new allergy, and drop one. This is what my doctor told me. It's always dangerous when you have an extreme allergy and you play dare devil with it. There is no way that you can force your allergies to go away. You just learn to live life with allergies, best of luck.

My Aunt who is allergic to shell fish told me that her doctor said sometimes you outgrow them as a child, but if you are an adult, you will probably always has it. The way she checks to see if she is allergic is by touching a peice of shellfish and then wiping it on her tongue. If it tingles or her throat gets tight, she knows she is still allergic. But she's been doing it for 20 years...I don't think she will ever get over the allergy.

You could outgrow it. Your best bet would be to find an allergist and go in for some testing. If your tests do not show the allergy then you could do an IN OFFICE food trial. That way you are somewhere you can be monitored and get help quickly, if needed.

Shellfish allergies are life long. You will NOT outgrow an allergy to shellfish.

As the other nurse above said, you will always have this allergy. Do NOT risk yourself and indulge.

Oh, that's rough! I love good seafood too.
Unfortunately, you're stuck with the allergy.

No your allergy will only get worse each time you ingest it. So stay away from it completely.....Nothing you can take will get rid of it.....sorry, try a rib-eye instead....................
