What Are the Tests for Nut Allergies? If you seem to have a problem with allergies whenever you are eating, it may be more than a simple problem that you are experiencing. As a matter of fact, if you are having a nut allergy, the problem may be mild today but tomorrow it could take your life. That is because our body reacts to things that it is allergic to in different ways, on different days. One day we may just have a slight rash or perhaps a little bit of extra mucus as a result of eating nuts. The next day, however, it can throw us into an anaphylactic shock and kill us.

Living With Nut Allergy Symptoms

Maxim Morrison — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 07:48:12 +0000

I can remember the first time that I had a reaction to nuts as if it were yesterday. I was out at a restaurant, eating food that I had eaten many times in the past. I began to feel as if my entire body were crawling with bugs and within a few minutes, I was having a difficult time breathing. Although this reaction was somewhat mild, it alerted me to the fact that I had a problem which needed to be addressed. It took a little bit of investigation but through a series of allergy tests, my doctor was able to determine that I had a problem with a nut allergy. At first, I thought that it was Click to read more

Don’t Ignore Reactions to Nuts

Whenever my son was very young, he began to have some reactions to the foods that he ate. I was a little bit concerned but I really didn’t think much about it because I also have food allergies that I have to deal with regularly. The reaction started to get a little bit stronger so I took the information to his doctor and ask him what could be the problem. I was asked several questions and it didn’t take long for the doctor to be able to determine that what he was having was a reaction to nuts. What I was really surprised about is the fact that these reactions could be bad Click to read more

Nut Allergy or Nut Intolerance?

As parents, we are often told that we need to watch what our children are eating in order to find out if they are having a reaction to it or not. If we do notice that our children are having a reaction to food, we must speak to their doctor about it as quickly as possible in order to find out what can be done. Unfortunately, there are times whenever nothing can be done, such as whenever we have a nut allergy. The only thing that we can do is to make sure that our children are avoiding them altogether and to be prepared, just in case a reaction should happen. You might be surprised to Click to read more

Coping When You Have Severe Nut Allergies Having allergic reactions is certainly not an enjoyable thing but if you have severe reactions, it can be more than just a simple inconvenience. I know plenty of people that have food allergies and some of them have to be so careful that they tend to avoid eating out except on very special occasions. When they do eat out, they have all of the products and supplies that they need just in case they have a severe reaction that they are unable to overcome. This is especially the case for friends of mine who have extremely severe nut allergies. Here Click to read more

Hidden Nuts In The Food

Nuts Aren’t Only in The Food You Eat I have heard about people that have dealt with nut allergies and I’ve certainly seen the signs in food establishments which warned those people that nuts are also present there. I really didn’t have an idea, however, of exactly how severe a nut allergy was, until I saw it with my own eyes. If this person would not have had a small autoinjector with them, they certainly would have died because moments after ingesting a little bit of cross contaminated food, they were having a difficulty breathing and were on their way to passing Click to read more

A Hidden Danger for Those Allergic to Nuts

Maxim Morrison — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 02:12:48 +0000

There are plenty of people that have food allergies. As a matter of fact, it is difficult to find anybody that never has a reaction to something that they eat. This is often evident whenever they are clearing their throats after a meal and whether they realize it or not, what they are having is an allergic reaction. There are times, however, whenever we may have a more severe form of food allergy. One of the most common types of severe food allergies is one to nuts and peanuts. The reason why I separate the two of these, is because the peanut is a legume while the tree nut is actually a Click to read more

Be Prepared for a Nut Allergy Reaction

Maxim Morrison — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:40:07 +0000

I had often heard about nut allergies but had rarely ever seen them in action until I had my first son. Everything seemed fairly normal whenever he was young but as he grew older, I began to notice that he was having slight reactions to the foods that he was eating. Thinking that it was perfectly normal, I really didn’t do much about it although I did tend to watch what he was eating on occasion in order to find out what he was allergic to. These allergic reactions that he was having were fairly mild and included such things as additional mucus in his throat and on occasion, Click to read more
