Food allergies, is there a list of what foods cause what symptoms more often?

Question

I have a delayed food allergy, very hard to pin down what things, I know everyone is different, but a list of say "this food or pesticide has often caused this symptom" would be really helpfull.
Mine are lip itching, severe headache and hot localized welt/hive/bumps only on my face....if this sounds simular, I would like to know.

Answer 1

www.foodallergy.org

The 8 most common food allergies are: fish, shellfish, treenuts, peanuts, dairy, wheat, egg, and soy.

Try keeping a food diary. Write down everything you eat, what symptoms you get and when they start. Do this for several days and see if you notice a pattern.

You should find an allergist and be tested as well.

Answer 2

That sounds like a shellfish or seafood allergy. Symptoms involving the face and lip are very common with seafood allergies.

Try to avoid anything containing fish and see what happens.

When you get a reaction, take Benadryl. It will calm the symptoms down.

It's always best to see your doctor for this because food allergies can become severe.

Answer 3

Yes, there are lists out there of the most commonly allergic foods. There are also lists of the foods least likely to cause an allergic reaction. Personally, I am allergic to more foods on the least common list! I suggest keeping a food diary: write down everything you eat and drink and also keep track of when you have a reaction. Some of my reactions are an 8-12 hour delay, so I know it can be hard to figure it out sometimes.

Answer 4

Everyone's different. I had stuffed nose from foods and runny nose from environmental problems, but only figured this out as I eliminated allergies, since prior to that, I was ALWAYS stuffy and runny simultaneously! Look into NAET (www.naet.com) as a way to figure out what's causing what and how and what to treat.
