Milk products are a culprit in many people.  Be aware of additives too...many of us asthmatics are sensitive to sulfur dioxide and many of its derivatives.  There is sulfur dioxide in soda and dried fruits.\nGood luck with your son, I hope controlling his asthma is easy.\nIf you haven't already been to this site...its informative and helpful.\nhttp://www.asthma.com/asthma_triggers.html

yes tea. i suggest peppermint if you ate too much and something with ginger if you just ate too funky (which it sounds like :). also, bananas are great for upset tummies. sounds odd but works.

n medicine, food allergy is hypersensitivity to dietary substances, leading to various types of gastrointestinal complaints. It occurs mainly, but not exclusively, in children. It is a common type of allergy, and is usually treated with an exclusion diet.\n\nSigns and symptoms\n\nPatients present with skin symptoms, throat tightness, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and/or stomach symptoms. The symptoms usually develop within half an hour of ingesting the allergen.\n\nRarely, food allergy can lead to anaphylactic shock: hypotension (low blood pressure) and loss of consciousness. This is a medical emergency. Allergens commonly associated with this type of reaction are peanuts, nuts, milk, egg and seafoods. Latex products can induce similar reactions.\n\nFood allergy is thought to develop more easily in patients with the atopic syndrome, a very common combination of diseases: allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis, eczema and asthma. The syndrome has a strong inherited component; a family history of these diseases can be indicative of the atopic syndrome.

No- if you are allergic to something you should not consume it.  You could have an allergic reaction that just taking over the counter allergy medicine would not help to stop it.

If you are asthmatic you should first get rid of the toxic chemicals cleaners and laundry products in your house to lessen the severity of your asthma and also to prevent accidental poisoning once the baby arrives.  You should be able to continue whatever excercise routine you were doing before you were pregnant but be sure to avoid your normal asthma attack triggers.  Change your cleaning products though to help your asthma and lesson the chance of your baby accidently getting poisoned but the toxic cleaners.  Good Luck.

Your symptoms can be airborne or food oriented. Probably pollen or pet dander.......get a high quality air purifier and humidifier and use them while sleeping.  Use over the counter antihistamines, some with pseudophedrine can keep you awake,use only during daytime, but those with diphenhydramine can promote sleep at night.\n\nIf your allergy is food oriented stay away from the most common triggers: nuts, aged cheese, wines, preserved meats and fruits....... lots of luck on solving your allergies.......

I found that porridge helped mine. Scott`s porage oats, not the ready brek sort. I don`t have cows milk anymore, instead I have sweetened soya milk. In fact it`s much nicer on cereals, inc the porridge, and you can`t tell in cooking. Now drink earl grey tea (no milk) and black coffee. Don`t eat yogurt`s, cottage cheese, and mayo can upset. Horlicks was also a culprit. I found that dairy was the main cause, and by a process of elimination I cut things out completely or cut down on them. I don`t take any meds though. Worry and anxiety can aggravate it as well.

This is not a copy paste answer.  I always answer an asthma question when I see one because I have had asthma since I was a child and it has almost killed me several times.  Asthma is a condition when your bronchial tubes constrict and it is hard for air to pass through them.  This can be trigger several ways.  Some people by to much physical activity.  Some people by smoke, moke, pet dander, pollen or any thing harsh that is in the air we breath.  Some people have allergic reactions to certain foods.  Any way if you have asthma of any kind.  you should first see a doctor and he will help you control it.  Now if you have very mild asthma he will probably give you a rescue inhaler that you can use when ever you feel the symptoms.  If it is severe like mine he will give you a preventative medicinee.  Which is a medicin that you have to take every day to prevent an attack from occurring.  As well as a rescue inhaler.  If you are having an attack.  I took the time to write this because like I said I have severe asthma and I have been near death a bunch of times.  Be safe and talk to your doctor.  I hope that this info has helped you out.  God Bless.

Asthma is often caused by an allergic reaction to an environmental allergen. It results in histamine release which produces three main airway responses: Bronchospasm, Edema of mucous membrane and Hypersecretion of mucus!!

Eat a snack before going to bed with some protein - like a hard boiled egg or some turkey.  Have a cracker or cookie with that, and some nuts, preferrably almonds or peanuts, if you are not allergic.\n\nSee if that makes a difference.\n\nIf it does, then check out www.hufa.org for a possible explanation of why it does.

Everyones answers are so healthy, is nobody going to say junkfood. Unfortunately I can't either. Fruit for breakfast and nuts and sometimes yoghurt. Grapes and pineapple for lunch and veges and fruit for tea plus hot milk and tonight too much custard. I'm quite addicted to custard and yoghurt at the moment. It's awful.

Before you go and do drastic things, like meds you are right to look at his food.  Soy can be an allergen to many people.  As well so are fruits such as strawberries and oranges, citrus'.  Obviously it's an allergy or sensitivity.  Some docs only consider the word allergy for those who go into anaphalactic(spelling?) shock and run the risk of respitory failure, ie...bee sting/stop breathing.  \nNevertheless, ignore that kind of medical rhetoric because your son is obviously allergic regardless of how severe the reaction is.  There are allergy tests he can go through if you find a doctor who takes you seriously.  Have him tested, although it can be traumatic because albeit not very paintful, they prick you with a bunch of tiny little needles with different allergens on them to see how you react.  Usually on your back or inside of your forearm.  I've had it and many people I know have...it really clued them into what was bugging them! \nOr first: Try the most simple diet you can, limit him down to mashed up rice and chicken or rice and one veggie like squash if you prefer and of course rice cereal for breakfast.  Make sure it's pure brown or white rice(brown has more nutrients). Clean out his system by calming it down for a day or two.  It's called an elimination diet in nutrition terms.  People do it all the time to figure out what allergies/sensitivities they have.  \nThen pick very basic mild foods like bananas, pears, squash, peas, spinach, carrots, chicken/turkey and rice. No citrus fruits for awhile.  No honey either(not pasturized and can be risky). Introduce one food at a time to him and allow him to get used to it before introducing another food. Try one per 2 days.  Wait for a reaction or none and then move on.  That way if he has a reaction, you will know which food it is.  \nThen another and another until you know which foods he reacts to etc...When he reacts you will know he has a problem with it and you can eliminate it for good and put it in his medical records.  Some foods might take a day to move through the digestion system and therefore two days is necessary to really see if they bother him. If he reacts to just rice and chicken/veggie, then it might be one of them. Try again. It's just a process that one must go through to gain control over their allergies. Hang in there!\nFoods people are most allergic to are: wheat, dairy, soy, citrus fruits + strawberries, nuts, corn, and some meat. Also food additives like MSG and gluten and food dyes can cause serious reactions like migraines and hyperactivity.  There are many others but those are very common ones.  \nDon't negate what he is experiencing because a doctor does. Not that you are. They do not know everything, and you are the mom...and that means beyond caring well for your son you have good instincts.  Trust them!!  You are doing the right thing by continuing to pursue this beyond what the doc didn't do for you.  And by the way, psorisis and eczema both are aggravated by food allergies and stomach digestion or lack thereof. \nBut keep on it because allergies can wreck your whole system if they are not remedied. \nGood luck!

Like it sounds, exercise-induced asthma is asthma that is triggered by vigorous or prolonged exercise or physical exertion.

cut down on dairy, it sounds like some kind of mild allergic reaction to something in your diet.

Hayfever is triggered when your immune system reacts to something that it shouldn't i.e. pollen.  You need to take anti-inflammatory substances to reduce the inflammation response that is produced by the immune system when you are exposed to pollen.  There is not one straight answer because everybody is different, but omega 3 fatty acids from oily fish, nuts and seeds, and from taking a good quality fish oil (not cod liver oil) is likely to help.  Also vitamin C, and quercetin are important as they are anti inflammatory, as is curcumin.   You can get these nutrients from food, but you need them at therapeutic levels so it is recommended that you take them in supplement forms.  Ask at your local independant health shop.....

the guy above is right, corn. If you really want to drive them crazy make a corn meal dough with cornmeal,  boiling water and a dash of vanilla extract.
