Hello Debby,

I'm wondering could you be allergic to the prednisone? You can read about the side effects of Prednisone on a website called www.drugs.com. I just read up on some of the side effects of Prednisone about 5 minutes ago.
There are a lot of possible side effects from this medication one of which was a skin rash.  Hope this helps.  Eve

I've been to an allergist, testing done, prednisone given. No real effects except outside. He also mentioned keeping tract for couldn't test everything. Also went to dermatologist who didnt agree with prednisone. It was quite an expense for they want you to keep coming. Burning comes on from paprika, I can't yet figure out all of what I'm allergic to. Rashes  and itching drive me crazy. Eggs cause coughing, even whenvin rolls, alone. Potatoes are the worst, I get sick, can't swallow well. My face burns, husband put soy on my steak last night. Thanks, Debby

Hello there,

I just finished reading your comments. Have you been to see an allergist to get an allergy test ?  You say when you eat eggs , you cough. Do you put anything on the eggs?  Are these eggs boiled. poached, scambled, fried ?
You said heat can also be a trigger. There is such a thing as a heat rash
caused by heat.  A heat rash can appear on ones chest, under your arms.
If you haven't been to an allergist for an allergy test, based on your comments, I would make an appointment with an allergist asap.
Where I live, you need to get a referral from your family doctor to see an allergist.  Till you know what you're allergic to, I would stay away from soy sauce and any other soy products, walnuts, eggs, all peppers and paprika, maybe shrimp too until you've had your allergy test. I wish you well. Eve

Food allergy.
So far allergic to eggs, walnuts, potatoes, peppers (all),  paprika. Possibly shrimp, light soy sauce.. Going crazy. When eating eggs I cough. Tonight I coughed while eating steak with soy on it.Does anyone else do that. Is soy and soy sauce the same? In addition have itching, rashes, bumps on head that are crusty and can itch. Heat also a trigger, pollen, grass, dust. Help...

Hi there,

My comment to you got printed twice. I decided I wanted to join this
forum as I have allergies and asthma too. There was an opportunity
to join this community so I took it , but to do this, my comments were
printed a second time. I hope this comment makes sense.  Eve

Hi Ipjay, you are welcome. I tried having allergy shots for less than a year,
but did not find them helpful. In my case, I had to pay for my allergy shots
out of pocket as my insurance at work didn't cover the allergy shots.
If you allergy shots are just for tree pollen and other pollons, it's probably
cheaper for you to take an antihistamine like Claritin and more effective.
As for your food allergies, If you are allergic to tomatoes, pork, milk,
milk products, almonds , chocolate and oranges, I think it's a good idea
to just eliminate these foods from your diet. Did you know that milk is
a common food allergy ?  I wish you well.   Eve

HI Eve, thank you for the head ups I spoke to my doctor and he said the coconut milk, is fine and the vitamin c is fine. But to second opinion from a different allergist, I mean this want to vaccinate me for like three months for his finding in terms of tree pollen, etc, food allergies, are tomatoes, pork, milk, and milk products, almonds, chocolate and oranges.

Hi lpjay,

When I had my allergy test many years ago now, the allergist told me there
was a scale to refer to.  The scale went from 1-4.  One being the lowest
and four being the highest. I don't know if the scale is still the same , but
I suspect it is. When you do hear from your allergist, I would request a
follow up appointment to discuss the results of your allergy test.
If you have a 4 to a specific food, I would eliminate that food from
your diet . I myself had a !  to eggs, but I still eat eggs and have done
for many years.  Everyone is different though. As for your allergy to oranges, I would discuss this with your allergist
as well as your allergy to eggs.  I have a nephew with a severe allergy to peanuts. He carries an epi pen with him and has done for many years now. You can't be too careful with allergies. Good luck to you.   Eve

Hi Eve,

It was allergist, I have not gotten a word from him yet, and I was hoping to use to this medium to get some answers :)

Hello lpjay,

Just finished reading your comments. Who gave you these allergy tests?
Did your regular doctor give your the allergy test or did he or she refer
you to an allergist ?  I had an allergy test many year ago now.
I would go to the doctor who administered the allergy test and ask him
or her the questions you have asked here. Knowledge is power.  Eve
