Jen in PA Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks for sharing. I can attest to the fact that when I tell people I am wheat intolerant they get a confused look and follow up by asking me if that means I am allergic to wheat. Sigh.

Snickerdoodle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks for posting. When you suffer from food allergies and/or food intolerances then you really begin to know how powerful food is with regard to health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks for posting. I learned something new today. I'm new the whole allergy/intolerance thing. Ds7 had an anaphylactic reation to tree nuts in December. So, anything new I can learn is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Kalah, have you read Food Allergies for Dummies? It is written by an allergist who has food allergies :) I found it to be a great overall resource for those first months after dd's diagnosis.

Dana Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Kalah, have you read Food Allergies for Dummies? It is written by an allergist who has food allergies :) I found it to be a great overall resource for those first months after dd's diagnosis. :iagree: I've read a lot of books on food allergies. Our son is allergic to dairy and had an anaphlactic reaction to cashews about 2 years ago. This was probably the best book I've read. The only point I differ with with Michele is that I've read that you may not always react with a food allergy. There can be very mild reactions and then a very severe one, or it can be possible to not have a reaction at one point to exposure, but this doesn't mean the allergy is necessarily gone. The only safe thing with food allergens is complete avoidance (unless you're in one of the studies being done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes! I have read Food Allergies for Dummies. I posted 7 months ago and that was the recommendation I got from y'all. It helped so much! He hasn't had a reaction since Christmas. I count that as a win! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flobee76 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thank you for posting this. So many people don't realize that some of their "chronic" symptoms are linked to food intolerances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
