Well im assuming these drs are allergy drs or are they reg. drs? I have alot of allergies one includes milk. I just had a baby 7 mths ago and she is not allowed any cows milk till shes one to make sure she is not allergic to it too and that is what my allergist told me to do. If you are breast feeding i would stay away from the dairy to make sure that your baby doesnt get an allergy to dairy as well. Even though i am highly allergic to milk i still eat very little maybe once a week things that have milk in them and it doesnt bother me. When i feel like im having a allergic reaction i just take my meds so that it doesnt get too bad. If you would like a third opinion on it go see an allery speciallist and they can tell you what would be good for you and your baby. Good Luck

I also have celiac.  In my case, gluten intolerance with painful neurological manifestations including difficulty walking that went away after going GF (was on my way to a wheelchair within a few years), as well as the classic GI symptoms.  \n\nI've heard this too.  It's very frustrating, especially since for the most part the people doing this aren't on a "gluten-free diet" as we need to do it.  They take the bun off the burger and pick the toppings off the pizza, while saying they're gluten-free.  Arg!!!\n\nBUT, the upside I see about this is that with this possibly becoming a fad, it may make more manufacturers take the unnecessary gluten out of their products.  Cereals like Rice Krispies come to mind.  I mean do they REALLY need the barley malt in there?  \n\nMy biggest worry is that restaurants will be miseducated by the people who are doing it for a fad and get the impression that we can just pick the croutons off the salad,  or that they don't have to worry about cross contamination.  I'm concerned that those of us with true health problems will be looked upon as paranoid or obsessive and will start having even more problems eating out that we already do.  \n\nI'm not sure if you're on these message boards, but if you aren't, please come visit. \n\nwww.glutenfreeforurm.com\nwww.celiacforums.com\n\nWith the holidays coming up we're all exchanging recipes for all the GF goodies.  A lot of people with celiac, especially those who have been diagnosed for a long time, don't realize how many amazing gluten-free versions of different things have been developed, especially just in the last few years.  It's no long limited to Ener-G Rice Loaf anymore.  The father of a friend of mine was diagnosed with celiac 50 years ago, and he had no idea that any of the newer GF things even existed until after I got my diagnosis.   \n\nNancy

Urticaria is a fairly generic term that basically means you get hives. Frustratingly, most general practitioners seem to feel satisfied at that point and do not pursue the cause of the hives. To get to the root cause you will either need to do to a dosctor specializing in allergies or do some investigating on your own.\n\nTo investigate to see if it is a food triggering your hives you will need to go on an elimination diet. To do these you need to set aside time in which you will fast for 2 days drinking only water. Then gradually introduce one ingredient foods, one per day, until a reaction occurs. When a reaction occurs you need to treat that food as suspect and later challenge yourself with the food again to see if the source is confirmed a second time. We used this method to discover that my husband reacted to wheat which later led us to a correct diagnosis of celiac. He didn't have hives. His reaction was digestive and rash related.\n\nContact reactions are a bit tougher to identify. I would try the food based method first and if that doesn't locate the source, go to have the allergy skin test with an allergist.\n\nADDED INFORMATION - Since you are so reactive to touch, your allergen is extremely likely to be a food or medication. I was exactly the same way. My skin would constantly trigger into hives at just handling anything - wood, plastic, metal. It didn't matter. All that was needed was a touch or a scratch. Many allergens are ushered by the body to be stored just under the skin. Many conditions, even in animals, are from this (hives which can be from any allergen source, Dermatisis Herpetiformis which is when the allergen is gluten/gliadin, etc.) Do try the allergy elimination diet and don't forget to include medications if can safely do so. No doctor is trying, so it is up to you. I used the allergy elimination diet and successfully discovered what my hives were being caused from. I also used it many years later and discovered that my husband and daughter were celiac (reacts to gluten/gliadin). If I had left it all up to the doctors all three of us would still be suffering.

Hi, I have celiac disease (wheat/gluten allergy) and am allergic to soy. I use Bette Hagmans Cookbooks because although everything is pretty much just gluten free she tells you how to use the recipes by substituting safe ingredients for your child in place of the eggs, and soy. The nuts in all her recipes are optional and she teaches you how to use egg replacer in her recipes. She has many cookbooks out...I have about four and there are still more out there. And her recipes are easy, even for me and I am just starting to learn to cook all these different ways too. Amazon.com is the easiest way to find all her books in one place. Also, a good website is glutensolutions.com, they sell pre-made food and you can check off you son's allergies and it will show you the products that  are safe for him to eat. Also all the ingredients for each item are listed so you can double check for everything as well. Hope this helps!

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

I have an intolerance to fish, but not shellfish.  My throat doesn't swell up, and I don't get the standard symptoms.  The way thd doctor explained it to me when I was little, "I'm not allergic to it, but my stomach is"  I like fish but fish hates me.

That's an interesting one.  Has this friend seen a doctor and if so, what did they recommend?  Allergies are an auto-immune deficiency and need to be treated from the inside.  If your friend is interested in an all natural product that many are finding success with, contact me.  I offer a 100% money back (empty bottle) guarantee, so based on what other allergy sufferers are finding, you may find success with this as well.

First I would go to this web site to understand all about Celiac Disease\n\nTo view the information on "Celiac Disease" go to:\n\nhttp://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/\n\nVisit the NDDIC home page www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov for more information.\n\nSecond I would ask either the person with the Disease or the person who cooks for him/her what to serve

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.

I am not a doctor and I don't have any experience in the whole medical area, but it could have been a LIGHT case of food poisoning. It could have also been something in the food that you had a mild allergy too. Glad you are feeling better :)

I've never followed Peter D'Adamo's protocol, although I might try some of his advice if I can ever find a copy of his book to borrow. I'm not interested in dieting, because I'm already slim and lean, but I'd be interested if his theories helped me feel better overall, of if they might help with some of my chronic disorders (asthma, acid reflux, ADHD, rosacea).\n\nHowever, I would NOT follow 100% of he says for my blood type, which is O positive. I'd only follow what is applicable to me. For example, I've heard that folks with my blood type should, according to D'Adamo, eat red meat 3 to 4 times a week. Well, that's OUT for me! I'm 34 and already have elevated cholesterol, due to a genetic propensity for this from my mom's side of the family. I am very slim, active, and for the most part eat very well-balanced, healthy meals, yet I STILL have the beginnings of a cholesterol problem. \n\nSo I sure as heck am not going to start eating a bunch of red meat!! It so happens I don't really even like most red meats (except hamburger), and I hate steak. I mainly eat white meat chicken, white meat turkey, and fish. But even if I loved red meat, I would still limit my consumption of it, in the hopes of keep my cholesterol numbers from becoming high enough to warrant medication like Lipitor. :(\n\nI guess my ramblings only answered the first part of your question ("Has anyone tried eating according to their blood type?"), but not the second part, about whether it helped or hindered them. :) But hopefully you found this interesting anyway.

Hi.  im suffering from a ulcerative colitis at the moment.  I have been taking 40 mg. of prednizone, 9 colazal pills and 75 mg of mercaptopurine (6mp) and one rowasa enema at nights.  I have blood in my stool, my stool is very lose and cramping each and everytime.  I was doing really good for the last four years, until i had one alcholic beverage, which they tell you not to have, and the flairups started five weeks ago.  My dr. told me to stay away from fruits, vegtables, red meat, fried food,  dairy food, caffine, soda and juice.  he said to only eat white stuff like chicken, pasta, rice, white bread until i see some improvement.  so far im doing a little bit better then i was five weeks ago, but hopefully i'll see some changes soon. if you see no changes in your condition please talk to your gastro. dr. and see what other meds. he can give you.  you had not mentioned your meds. so dont be affraid, im 41 years old and i have been living with this conditon since i was 17.  Just make sure you get your yearly colonoscopy done in time to make sure things are ok and dont stress out cause stress can really affect the colitis, i know its hard, but until they find a cure for us this is the best we can do,  best wishes to you and i wish you a speady recovery.

I've taken Seldane a couple of times and it was possibly the most potent antihistamine I've ever had.  My methods for allergy relief now are quite different.  I work as a doctor of chiropractic/clinical kinesiologist in a sports chiropractic clinic.  I use a very specific allergy elimination technique that works great as well as get rid of any inflammation in the nervous system and bugs in your gut to assist with allergies of all types.  If I knew what area you lived in I could possibly advise you on where to go/who to see.  In any case, I can't vouch for other doctors' results but two websites may be of interest/help:  see below.  Allergies are nothing more than your brain's inability to recognize certain substances properly and respond properly.  Acupuncture, kinesiology, nutrition, etc...are all good for relieving allergy symptoms and get to the root of the problem.

potatoe is not a common allergy and is most likely not causing any problems.  the only other ingredients are flour and butter or margerine.  wheat and dairy are very common allergies, margerine has dairy in it too (whey powder).   get an allergy test done,  it is easier than  finding out by yourself.  some reactions take a day or two depending on your metabolism.  you still need to do some isolating to find out what causes reactions from the list they will give you but at least its a starting point.  you would be suprised how many hidden ingredience there are in food.  for example most deli meat contains wheat and dairy and so do most boxed foods. good luck!

I commend you for preparing for your appointment with the allergist.  Being an informed patient fosters communication with doctor(s) and helps you make informed choices about your treatment plan(s).  I hope the following information is helpful in getting you as healthy as possible.  \n\n\nFirst of all, here are some "basics" that were helpful for me to know:\n#1: A better term for "allergies" is "hypersensitivities".\n\n#2: Allergies are grouped by the kind of trigger, time of year, or where symptoms appear on the body. \n\n#3:  Types of Allergies: \na) Indoor (aka “Nasal” Allergies)\nb) Outdoor (aka “Hay Fever” and “Nasal” Allergies) \nc) Food & Drug \nd) Latex \ne) Insect\nf) Skin\ng) Eye\n  \n\n#4: There are two ways to test for hypersentivities*:\na. Skin \nb. Blood \n\n\n#5: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies change with time.  Yup, just because you are not allergic to something in the past doesn’t assure you will not develop hypersensitivity down the road.\n\n#6: Hypersensitivities/ Allergies can be managed.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#7: Treatment does not make you hypersensitive -/ allergen-free.  There is/are no cure(s).\n\n#8: Most allergists do NOT test for or help with food hypersensitivities.  \n\n\n\nSo, with all that in mind, it is IMPERATIVE to know WHY you and your primary care physician (PCP) need the expertise of an Allergy & Immunology specialist.  Is it because: \n#1: You have never been diagnosed or tested?\n\n#2: You and your doctor want to rule out food hypersensitivity?  \n\n#3: You and your doctor suspect a NEW hypersensensitivity to certain foods, pets, drugs, etc.?\n\n#4: A preexisting condition - asthma, environmental hypersensitivity, skin disorder, etc. – require medications such as epinephrine and/or other prescriptions?   \n\n\n\nOnce you’ve ascertained the reason why you are seeing an allergist, here are some questions you may want to ask the allergist BEFORE your appointment:\n#1: Do you test for food allergies?\n\n#2: Do you treat food allergies?\n\n#3: Do you view food hypersensitivity as seriously as environmental hypersensitivity?\n\n#4: (If the allergist does treat food allergies.)  Do you prescribe epinephrine for severe food reactions?\n\n#5. Is there anything I need to do with my medication(s) to prepare for my appointment? \n\n#6. Do you practice/ prescribe alternative treatment (aka Naturopathy***)? \n\n\n\nTo make the most out of doctor visits, it always a good idea to:\n#1. (Especially on your initial visit)\nProvide thorough information (past & present) related to your hypersensitivities/ allergies**.  \n\n#2:  Provide an accurate and detailed list of all prescribed and over-the-counter products (include vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements/ shakes, herbs, etc.) you are currently taking.\n\n#3.  Update your list every time you see a provider\n\n\n\nLastly, if you have additional questions or would like more information, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) now provides online access to an allergy specialist.
