What are you allergic to?

[Karen]

Oh my Karen! So what exactly DO you eat?? What's an example of what you have for breakfast, lunch, and supper?

There's stuff I can eat - that many cannot.

So if I read ingredients labels, I can have my cereal for breakfast, with milk.

For the other meals, pasta, odd salads (lettuce is okay, arugula is okay, but no dressing with olive oil or garlic in them ...), pasta, some "okay-if-I-make-it-myself soup" and of course, I can have chicken, turkey, eggs, and piggie products for protien. Bread is okay if I make sure there's nothing "malt" in the ingredients - try reading bread labels for a kick - I have found a "whole wheat" kind and a "white bread" kind that are safe ... so sandwiches, or make-it-myself pizza, as bread and cheese are okay, too ...

Also, JenBKR, when I first got my allergies tested, the little spot for dust mites swelled and swelled and grew over the other spots around it and made the nurse go "Oh, my!" and draw it on the chart. Dr. Baillit - a sniffly old guy who has since retired - made recommendations about various things and then asked, "Who does the vacuuming?"
"My husband ..." I said.
"Oh, he's a good one, then. You should keep him!"

Not the only reason I've kept Paul, but it was funny to have a doctor's opinion on the matter!

dogs, cats, pollen, mold, dust. I am lactose intollerent but not allergic.

I don't think I'm really allergic to anything, or that I know of. But, when I eat fresh peaches they give me a rash so I'm probably allergic to them. Nothing else that I can think of at the moment, so yeah, just peaches.

era liquid laundry detregent=hives, insect spray=bigger hives. dust makes me sneeze and snort.

Officially:

Solo laundry detergent
Dianalysis (sp?) dye (darn near died when they tried that one )
Sulfa drugs
The sun (yes the SUN, I get sun poisoning if I don't apply frequently spf 50 at least!)

Unofficially:

Nightshade
molds
certain types of herbal shampoo/conditioners
guinea pigs (owned them for 10 years, but had to take alot of benadryl )

Sensitivity to:

Any rough texture rubbing my skin (including whiskers, recently clipped dogs, short pokey haired pets, and even my own hair! )

Hubby is allergic to raw egg whites. He's ok if it's cooked well though. Bummer is he's never enjoyed the thrill of licking off the spoon from making cookies and cakes!

Pollen, Pennicilan, and my parents won't let me eat shellfish like clams because once my brother had an allergic reaction to it and he was rushed to the ER, so they don't want me even tasting it.

I wish I was allergic to math, but sadly it isn't possible.

I think I'm allergic to Penicillin. When I was 3 years old my mom had an allergic reaction to Penicillin and apparently I said I was having the same symptoms, so I've never had Penicillin to this day...over 30 years later.
I am also sensitive to citrus fruits and juices. It makes sores in my mouth. Weird, I know.
I've never had an official allergy test in my life, so there are probably a million other things I am allergic to but just don't know it.
I think I just discoverd I might be allergic to Hyacinth flowers. I got some for my birthday and just about died in the car on my way home.

Oh gosh yes, hyacinths have such a strong perfume, and make me sick, as do Easter lillies, which means I am well-drugged with antihistamines to be able to sing Easter morning! Thankfully some people opt for tulips instead of lillies - my vote of course goes for the tulips!

Do you mean canker sores (kind of like mouth ulcers?). I know it's not conventional in any way, but Chinese people believe that there are "high-heat" foods that can cause or exacerbate canker sores. Ironically, citrus fruits and juices (pineapple is the worse) are among the main culprits, as are fried foods, chips, and a myriad of other food items. I don't completely understand the whole concept, but maybe that could be it...

I'm not allergic to anything in particular, but I'm lactose intolerant. No surprise there

[buttercup132]

grass- I break out in hives everywhere

Pollen-red eyes runny nose

cats-I used to get a stuffy nose puffy red eyes but I dont think I'm allergic anymore seeing as I have 2 and am fine.

Straw and hay- hives, red itchy eyes

Horse sweat-hives

Mold dust-sneeze

Cleaning products-Red itchy eyes and I cant stop sneezing, sometimes get weezy

Most Perfumes- " "

[BC_MoM]

I have a mild allergy to perfumes, body sprays, and axe.

I also have a mild allergy to chocolate... but not serious enough to keep me away from it!

[k9krazee]

I'm not officially allergic to anything!

I have a feeling I'm becoming lactose intolerant though.

[Argranade]

Nothing, I was truly tested LOL.
