shellfish allergy or sensitivity
by lauraC, Jan 31, 2007 12:00AM
I've had a history of GI upset with shellfish for a long time. now the last few times ive had lobster my hands itch, and the last time my gums swelled and i had bad stomach cramps, diarhea and dizzyness. i had a blood test at the doctors and it came back negative. i researched on-line and it says if you take an antihistmine (which i do-claritan) the result could be a false negative. should i be retested at an allery specialist? i'm nervouse about cross contamination somewhere. my mother does have a shellfish allergy.
