    XXX asked:


    I don’t understand how started a food too early can cause allergies. I’ve heard not to start any baby on rice cereal until at least 4 months because it can cause the baby to get food allergies, and don’t give peanut butter because it can cause allergies. Aren’t you either allergic to something or not? I don’t understand how feeding a baby rice cereal at 2 or 3 months old can increase their risk of food allergies. Can someone please explain it to me?

    Anu asked:


    I feed my 4 month French Bulldog puppy Natural Balance Duck + Potato. I notice that he scratches his back paws and lower belly area quite often. He has a couple of small red spots on his belly. Could this be a food allergy or fleas? I have cleaned my house thoroughly and recently bath him and checked his coat and found no traces of fleas.

    The pet food store recommended Wellness Venison + Rice food. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good allergy food or any other ideas?

    Thanks!

    Other allergies like grass, dust etc. and is the only way to find out by doing expensive allergy testing? Everytime I take him to the vet he gives me antibiotics and a topical spray. He also has a skin problem. I am now trying a different expensive dry dog food only FISH with NO GRAIN to see if that will help him at all.

    If I eat the wrong thing, my mouth and lips sting and I start feeling shaky inside. Often I use Benadryl and Pepcid together and it really seems to help. But my doctor says Benadryl doesn’t help with food allergies. Am I imagining things?

    I know it sounds like an excuse but how do I diet with food allergies? I am allergic to nuts, seafood and most fruits. Does anybody have any ideas when most diets depend on these to work effectively?

    tardis_mom asked:


    I had an allergic reaction to a piece of raw parsnip recently that sent me to the ER. But I’ve had cooked parsnips before without any problems. I am in the middle of getting tested for various food allergies right now, so I am sure I will be able to ask this question of the allergist when we have a final meeting and discuss the results. But just wondering whether cooking a food such as tuna, shrimp, parsnips, oysters, etc. would reduce the chances of an allergic reaction? Thanks.

    professionalkiwi asked:


    I read that food allergies can become addictions because our bodies craves the food we are allergic to (some, not all obviously) and can lead to the addiction of that food. This is counter intuitive on so many levels lol So maybe I understood incorrectly.

    Can someone explain the link between food allergy and addiction? Is this pseudoscience or real? How does it work?

    Serious answers only.

    missy1982 asked:


    True food allergies are rare, so why do more and more people claim to be allergic to certain foods even rare food allergies, everyone these days claim to have anaphylactic attacks even though this is rare in food allergy. Only 10 deaths from food allergies have been reported within 10 years in the uk,so why is it that you read about people who claim they are allergic on the internet? Do people actually have these diagnosed or do they diagnose themselves even though it could only be an intolerance that is not an allergy?
