I've noticed that after I eat yogurt my face starts to itch.  It is usually with the peach or strawberry yogurt.  I've stopped eating yogurt but is it really possible to have an allergy to it?

It's possible.  If there are artifical flavorings, preservatives, or coloring, that are in the brand you buy, they could be the cause of itching.

Sounds much like an allergic reation .. and yes you can be allergic to it .. in fact humans can be allergic to almost anything.

An allergic reaction can take a week or more to work its way out of your system. I have experience with this -- I was exposed to a chemical that I'm allergic to  and had to keep taking Benadryl for more than a week. Every time I forgot a dosage, I'd break out in hives again, until the 8 or so days had passed.\n\nHave you tried using an antihistamine in addition to the steriod? Did the doctor you saw recommend an antihistamine? If not, it might be worthwhile to check and see if you can add an antihistamine at night.\n\nI'd also do some detective work in your home to see if you are reacting to something that you are in contact with at night, since you are only getting worse at night. Dustmites are a common allergy, and it could be that while your body is dealing with this other reaction, you are more "reactive" in general and some other allergen is affecting you. Just an idea, because my son (who has seasonal allergies) had the experience of suddenly reacting to cats -- but only in the summertime, when the pollen count is high.

Yeap, I developed it after my daughter was born, it has progressively gotten worst. First just milk bothered me, then cheese, now yogurt . . . it sucks! As far as diseases or medications which cause it, I am not aware of any, but I would suppose that anything which would kill the bacteria in your gut could have some type of affect. Lactose intolerance, as you stated, is simply a lack of an  enzyme that the bateria in your gut make to break-down lactose. I read (although I can not reference it at this moment) that if you stop ingesting dairy products, the bacteria stop making the enzyme, I am not sure if this is 100% correct, but perhaps it's a type of "evolutionary process" our individual bodies go through in adapting to our environment . . . that's my hypothesis :-)  Also, various ethnic groups, particulary hispanic's are lactose intolerant. \nI find it helpful to take those lactose pills, I have to take two if I want to drink a glass of milk, but every once in a while I just get a craving to go crazy on the dairy.

mine do this with allergies, too. i feel for you, really, i do. i'm allergic to allergy pills; they make me want to kill people. (allergic to antihistimines and decongestants also pain killers and muscle relaxers) \n\navoid chamomile!!! it is a cousin to hayfever stuff and pollen.   avoid at all cost if you have 'hayfever'\n\ntry chilled cucumber slices on your eyes. or go to the health food store and have someone there help you with a homeopathic remedy for your symptoms.

What kind of restaurants?  To be honest, this sounds exactly like an allergic reaction to MSG, a food additive, to me!  And that would explain why it doesn't happen at home.

How is the non-veg cooked? In dairy or nut oil or...?\nThe only way to not make food allergies worse is strict avoidance!\nGet to an allergist pronto! You don't want any potential food allergies to progress to the anaphylactic level. \nIf you start now, 80% of non-nut allergies resolve themselves by age 10. \nGOOD LUCK.

Am I going to feel dumb answering this. Once in a great while....not all the time now.....once in a great while, especially in the winter when skin is dry, I have been known to splash on a little creamy stuff to keep the itch down. I swear to the  almighty it is only for the itch.

It might be for you. Usually dairy products, nuts and cholocolate can act as a trigger. I find bad smells affect me. It is important to notice what foods to oavoid and limit, in your case coconut. It wasn't chocolate covered coconut was it? It might be the choloclate taht troubles you.

Yes... the live, active cultures found in yogurt are known as probiotics, or friendly bacteria.  They help to fight off candida, the bad bacteria found in a yeast infection.\n\nThe important thing to remember about yogurt is that the probiotics must still be live when you eat them in order for them to work... if the probiotics are dead, they aren't going to do much good.  It's not going to hurt anything, but you won't get the benefits.\n\nFrom the claims I've read, the probiotics in both of those yogurt brands are supposed to be live, so you should be fine with these.  Activia is my personal favorite.

I have allergies – how do I know pomegranate juice does not contain anything that I am allergic to? \n\nPomegranate juice does not contain any of the substances that the FDA attributes to 90% of all allergic reactions. The 8 major allergens are soy, wheat, eggs, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, and crustaceans. \n\nIf you have allergies and would like to be assured that there is nothing in Pomegranate juice that you are allergic to, please read the ingredients on the back of the bottle.  \n\nIf you still have questions, please consult with your physician to determine whether it is appropriate for you to drink pomegranate juice.\n\ncc

I have heard of this it's called ASA. It's not an allergy to proteins all together, it's an allergy to one or more of the amino acids that make up proteins. Most of the time this disorder goes undiagnosed and proves fatal. I just watched a show about this on Discovery Health like 20 minutes ago and the little girls hair was breaking off and she just kept getting violently ill when they introduced solid foods to her.

Yes, it can be very probable.\nYour body still has this allergen inside. Your immune system will try to stop it and will produce that reaction. You may perfectly have this reaction if you touched something days ago, it's very factible.

You definitely have an allergy to something.  Perhaps it is to something that you have eaten.  You should go to see your doctor who can refer you to an Allergist.  They will be able to run an alergy test on you to see what types of things you are allergic to so that they will better know how to help you.
