My coworkers didn't take me seriously. :( I'm hoping they give me an epi pen after I see the dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514992 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:17:28 +0000 MrsScottish 1514992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I am the same way!! Pineapple is my be one lay year!! I am highly allergic to birch and maple, along with nuts and midly gluten. DH can't eat cherrieS, peaches, plums, red apples, as they all are related to the birch family. He is also allergic to Brazil nuts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514990 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:14:54 +0000 MrsScottish 1514990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just be careful with the Benadryl. I have many allergies and carry an epi pen for nuts. Benadryl can reduce and hide the symptoms for a short period and then they can come back worse- especially of you are experiencing throat and mouth symptoms. I have been told many times by various doctors that Benadryl is fine for external reactions - rash, hives, or gi issues but once it hits your mouth and throat seek help. You don't want to be in the car driving home and hour later and they all come back!!<br /> Doctors all have heir own opinions, as do we, just be careful!!! I have been there and understand the feeling and panic!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514948 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 06:32:15 +0000 SweetiePie 1514948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: yikes! Maybe an oil that one of those foods was cooked in? Or a spice?<br /> As an adult I all of the sudden became allergic to soy, raw nuts and stone fruits (ie anything with a pit) and it did seem to happen over night! With soy I throw up, nuts I get itchy and the fruit (cherries are the worst) my throat and mouth swell. It is very scary, especially the first time it happened. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514910 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 04:04:55 +0000 Ash 1514910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: so I looked into this and it's really common. </p> <p>@mrs. wagon: oh my goodness! I'll look into that. How scary! I hope there's not a bunch of foods and it's just the one. Whatever one it is. </p> <p>@ms.janedoe: Thanks &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514364 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:02:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 1514364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: oh dear!! I developed allergies as an adult.. Look up oral allergy syndrome, especially if you get hay fever. I once swelled up while eating a salad at cpk that I had eaten tons of times before. It contains jicama which apparently I'm allergic to. Along with a ton of other fresh fruits and veggies. Whatever cross reacts with birch pollen. It started happening at 21 years old and each year I seem to become allergic to a new produce item :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514338 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:32:05 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1514338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scary!! Hope you get it figured out soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514304 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:51:35 +0000 spaniellove 1514304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: It's also possible that the food came into contact with something you're allergic to while it was being prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514298 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:48:10 +0000 Ash 1514298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if that was something that happened or not. Well now I'm even more worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514286 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:41:39 +0000 shellio 1514286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: You can develop new allergies after pregnancy. A friend of mine became allergic to something new after each of her 3 kids :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514271 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 15:34:19 +0000 MrsH 1514271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!

It was a fish sandwich and mixed veggies. I went down and asked what kind of fish and veggies it was so I could have it for reference. </p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I got a bottle of 100 from the hospital pharmacy - I should be good for a while :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514194 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:35:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1514194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Just keep Benadryl nearby just in case until you can get to the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514185 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:29:10 +0000 swedishfish 1514185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: did you make the food or buy it somewhere? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-scared-to-eat#post-1514181 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:26:54 +0000 Ash 1514181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I should have gone to the ed but one of the nurses got me some benadryl and luckily that did the trick.
