When is a Food Allergy NOT a Food Allergy?
by kmestanza, May 15, 2009 08:55AM
I've been to an allergist & have been informed that per the blood work & skin tests that I am not allergic to foods that I am sensitive to. I started having an allergic reaction to shell fish 18 months ago since then I've had to stop eating: soy, eggs, & sunflower. When I put an item in my mouth, my tounge & throat would go numb, lasting 3 days with taking Benadryl 2 @ 25mg caplets 3 xs a day. It seems that new items are popping up every few months. I've noticed that my throid has been sore/swelling when I eat these foods & wonder if it is related? Or just my body fighting an invisible invader... If I'm not truely allergic to these foods - What's wrong? Why is my thyroid swelling when I eat them? And if it's not allergies - How can I stop this?
