Food allergies are common in children, but for adults without any such allergies who suddenly develop them, it can be terrifying.

I had an anaphylactic reaction after eating and ended up in the ER. After I was stabilized and discharged I followed up with an allergist who pretty much brushed me off. She said adults don't get food allergies. I had to insist on testing and she tested me for like 5 foods, which came back negative. She was basically like oh well, you're fine, here's an epipen prescription. That's the state of our health care system folks!

I think many times what we call an allergie is actually a buildup of things that on a micro scale is needed or at least tolerated in the body but in larger amounts are toxic or deadly . I started having a reaction to eggs and onions after eating egg sandwiches every single day for years , and I became so sensitive that I almost died from not being able to breathe from a very small amount . But I did an elimination diet to figure it out and by not eating that for several years have become much less sensitive ! I think the culprit was a buildup of sulfur . I just wanted to let people know that there sensitivity , maybe reversable , by eliminating the rite foods !

I have eaten peanuts and peanut butter/ peanut products my entire life! Last night i had some peanuts for a late night snack... after getting im bed i became incredibly itchy. I got up to the bathroom, felt a weird sensation in my eyes and lips (didnt even think to check the mirror)😮. Went to splash cold water on my body and noticed welts on my hands. Woke my husband to see if we had any benadryl .... luckily he has emt training and realized faster than i did it was a true emergency! Im 27... never have experienced more than cat or dust allergens. It took two shots of epi and appropriate iv meds im the er overnight before i was allowed to go home. Many people, including myself, don't realize right away how serious it is when it hadnt happened before! Never assume benadryl will do the trick when having a variety of symptoms, better safe than sorry💛💛 - somebody w whitecoat phobia who really doesnt like the er

My food allergies started at 18. Now every 1.5-2 years I gain a new food allergy. It’s always a food I eat regularly. This year I gained lemon and apple. So more foods to avoid. In addition my allergies have also gone airborne (perfumes, oils, natural lotions, etc), plus contaminated surfaces are a struggle (door handles, gym equipment, tables, etc.). Shared refrigerators and lunch rooms at the work place are very dangerous areas for me. I always have my epi pen with me in case I’m exposed or react to something new, but also the pollen outside triggers anaphylaxis.

Hello, I have been having this exact same issue and have never seen anyone else describe having it especially the part about contanminated surfaces they have been causing me angiodema ( swelling in my face) and I am eagerly trying to get it to stop because as I am sure you know theyre unavoidable.

@@zoiealyse2009, no it’s just an immune response. All they can tell me is my body is attacking what it sees as a foreign body. Since I wrote the comment above I added two more foods that I can’t eat (that is 4 now in 2022) My reactions are also getting worse/faster/lasting longer. No specialist has been able to say exactly why, other than they want to do more tests and add me to studies. Some think I’m exaggerating until my husband sits there and tells them what he has witnessed, plus showing them photos of the reactions. So in simple form, no one can answer the question of why. The only answer in common is that something is happening in the immune system. I have developed other immune diseases as well, like RA; and I have small fiber neuropathy. So clearly there is a breakdown happening inside my body. If you’ve not been to specialist to have other blood panels done, I would suggest it to see if there is anything else occurring.

Please search you tube for Dr Beckers videos on allergys and maybe eric berg . my problem was eggs and onions , I was luckey I caught it in time . I found out by eating one thing that my body was ok with and trying a small amount of another food with it to see if it caused symptoms , I think I got a build up of too much sulpher that was in the eggs and onions . I hope you get well soon.

@@andigaither5495 Your story sounds similar to mine. I got my first allergic reaction when I was 21 while I was on vacation overseas, I’m now 37yr old still clueless to what’s causing these. 95% the time my reactions take place at night when I’m in deep sleep. I wake up to excruciating stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, explosive diarrhea with projectile vomiting, flushing, swelling, itching all over body, unbearable stomach pain, anxiety, dizziness. These episodes in the past two years have gotten stronger and extremely scarier. At first I thought they were random. Two years ago my fiancé and I started tracking them and I started seeing a pattern. I mostly get them when I’m either ovulating or on my actual period, Or closer to those dates. I have gone to literally the best allergist that accepts my insurance in New York City and they still cannot find answers. Some doctors think I’m crazy. It’s beyond frustrating to live like this. I can’t plan out my life in any way because I don’t know when this is going to happen. This happens almost every month or even twice a month. I also have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis,fibromyalgia , IBS, Sibo. My recent allergist thinks that this is all connected to psoriatic arthritis. I agree to a certain degree but I think there’s more to it than just what he is saying. I went to a popular allergist in NYC that told me my symptoms are related to psoriatic arthritis somehow, but my rheumatology team disagrees. This is driving me literally insane and I’m becoming more depressed thinking I will never find answers.!! This is not just effecting me, it’s affecting my partner as well. We both have to wake up in the middle of the night and deal with this nightmare. I know it’s not easy on him either. I share my story in hopes of finding answers or clues.

I have had allergies most my life, but my allergies worsened after Covid and I developed allergic asthma. I’m highly allergic to antibiotics, dogs, cats, seasonal allergies however two days ago had a candy with peanuts and my throat closed up. I managed to get to my inhaler and took three puffs and kind of settled down. My pulmonologist could care less about prescribing an epi pen but my primary called it in along with methyl prednisone and got it ASAP. My pulmonologist was supposed to also make a change to my daily inhaler. It has been two weeks and they didn’t submit the paperwork and my insurance company can’t understand why it hasn’t been submitted. As for the peanuts, never been allergic before but you better believe I have to now read labels for peanut allergies.

I’m so scared after reading all these comments. I don’t want to randomly die from something I have been eating all my life. I just ate a candy cane (not even the whole thing) and I’ve had multiple peppermints this week and lots this month, but I immediately started coughing and got hiccups after. It’s been almost 2 hours and I feel better, but I’m scared it will turn into an anaphylactic reaction in the middle of the night. I don’t want to have anaphylactic reactions suddenly of my favorite foods or ingredients that are in everything. I felt dizzy too but that could just be anxiety ig? No other symptoms so it could be a random sensitivity but I’m terrified now to eat anything that a lot of people seem to be randomly develop deadly reactions from. I’m hoping maybe the mint just worsened acid reflux and that it’s nothing more but that would be the second random allergy I developed this year as an adult

Anyone else had a similar reaction to me from a preworkout energy drink? Each sip, i would get a slight burning/tingling in my mouth near my throat that I would also feel when breathing. Shortly after that i noticed my heart rate went up to the 100s. Kept drinking it slowly thinking surely not an allergy since I've never had an allergic reaction before. Shortly, my heart rate went up near 150. Struggling to get a deep breath although can still breathe. Chest felt a bit tight and left shoulder/arm started hurting a bit too which I'm sure was musculoskeletal since I could feel discomfort when pressing on the area. Went to ER. They seem to have found nothing wrong except from just sinus tachycardia. The flavour I had was grape btw. Also looked at the ingredients and I've had all of them in other drinks and with grape flavouring before with no problem. Feeling okay for now though.

I’m supposed to be getting shots in both arms twice a week but they cost $4000 a week and nc didn’t expand medicade so people like me wouldn’t fall into a catch 22 and be prevented from working due to lack of health coverage most of witch could be reversed and others reduced but as is without all the medications I cannot control my asthma because I cannot control my allergies because of me being allergic to everything smh so kinda goes two in two works with some and doesn’t with others ?
