Hi,
I appear to be having a reaction after eating peanuts the last few weeks. Sensation of burning / itching on face and trunk. It seems to develop a little while after eating and lasts for a few hours.
I am now 19 weeks pregnant. Most likely have celiac and malabsorption issues (but they don't test for it where I live).
I do have allergies, but have not been able clearly identify causes (skin testing 2 years ago resulted in a systemic response, but showed allergy to dust mites, mango, chicken, rice - some sort of fish....) but other than the dust mites (I get severe hayfever regularly) I have not had clear response to eating any of those foods..... and I get major flushing/itching from time to time, but again not clear from what....
Question:
Is it possible to develop new allergies during pregnancy...
Could this be something on the nuts, or is likely the nuts themselves?
Is this type of response considered serious?
My diet is already getting limited (no gluten foods) and am concerned, but will try to cut out peanuts if they really seem to be a problems...
Thanks.
