Hi everyone,
Does anyone else have the following? I've been to see an immunologist/allergist, who said that these are not 'true' allergies as per a blood test, but it's probably something to do with my autonomic nervous system. i.e., he couldn't help me (which cost me $490 to find out).
I have crazy food intolerances and I get what appears to be allergic type symptoms (roof of mouth feels swollen, headache, sore throat, feel a bit wheezy, fatigue) when I eat the following:
- casein, even butter (which is high fat, low casein)
- eggs
- gluten
I get reactions almost immediately. Anti-histamines don't do much.
The other issue I have is with environmental sensitivity. I have issues with the following, which give me the same symptoms as the food intolerances:
• Chemical sensitivity, e.g., fragrances, sprays
• smoke from wood fires, candles
• VOC's - paint, carpets
• Mould
• dust
• OFF GASSING - e.g., rubber from new yoga mat
• Professional pest spray
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this? Obviously, it's not pleasant, and makes me feel crappy all the time. I don't want to keep eliminating food because that's when I get into trouble when I try to reintroduce things (i.e., I get really sick).
Many thanks
