[@remas5200]

When I was a baby I was deathly allergic to peanuts all peanuts. Later I developed a peach and egg allergy and milk. Now in adulthood I’m still allergic to eggs, I’m afraid to eat any sort of shellfish. I’m milk intolerant and allergic to bananas and now the last few years bread and wheat products have been making me sick. It’s frustrating and I’m kind of afraid to get food allergy tested because then I’ll find I can’t eat anything! And I love food lol 😂

When I was a kid I wasn’t allergic to nuts at all and ate them regularly, but one day at the age of, I think 9 I ate a hazelnut (which I had eaten before) and got an intense reaction for no reason. I then got tested for nut allergy and it ended up showing not only hazelnut but a pretty strong allergy to most nuts excluding almonds. I’m now 23 and about 2 years ago after having avoided all nuts but almonds since I got tested I tried just a tiny bit of peanut butter (which might have been stupid but that’s what I did) and waited for a while without any reaction, so I tried it again and still nothing. Eventually I tried a whole peanut butter sandwich and I had no reaction what so ever. I then tried nutella which has hazelnut in it which is what I was the most allergic to and I had absolutely no reaction. I can now eat every kind of nut that I had become allergic to even if it isn’t processed into any food product without any reaction. So I went from having no allergy to being strongly allergic to all nuts back to not being allergic to them at all.

Peanuts aren't tree nuts at all, so it's normal that there was no reaction (same for almonds) But the allergy disappearing is sure wierd. We also can't have a reaction for something we have never been in contact with as the first time it enters our bodies, out immune system only flags the proteins as dangerous, they only react at the second exposure.

I grew up with a friend who had a nut allergy (This was back in the 80's before allergies were even accepted as a thing) but he didn't just react to nuts but would react to other people who had touched or eaten nuts, so if we had nuts we had to warn him to avoid skin contact for the rest of the day, he called it 'Essence of Nut'. He was the only person I knew with a food allergy first the first 21 years of my life.

[@DaveMiller2]

It's not that they weren't accepted as a thing, they weren't a thing. Far fewer people had allergies and nobody died from allergies. You blew your nose, took an antihistamine and that was it.

The term food allergy was one of my biggest culture shock when I moved to North America. It was unheard of back in my home country China. We have people allergic to certain antibiotics or intolerant to milk but that's nothing like food allergy. It's strange that food allergy affects American born Chinese but not Chinese grown up in China. Allergic asthma is also extremely rare in China but can be developed among people who migrate out of China over time. I guess allergy is purely caused environmental factors, it's not something passed down in the genes.

[@luisgentil]

Almonds are expensive and it takes lots of them to make almond milk. So yeah they're most likely adding cheaper ingredientes. But to be fair almond milk allergy is no big deal, since it tastes f*kn horrible and shouldn't be drinked by anyone. I had to drink vegetable milk for 15 days as part of a surgery recovery diet and I tried some of them until settling for oat milk, which was the least terrible one.

[@Graywolf304]

Growing up, I was severely allergic to lots of things. I was allergic to peanuts, treenuts, seafood, peas, beans, and probably a few others I can't remember. It was bad enough to the point that just the smell of some of these things, especially peanuts, could trigger anaphylaxis. Now things are better, but growing up knowing they eating ant of these things could potentially kill me has really affected me. I still refuse to eat any of these foods, although now I am only allergic to peanuts, and maybe nuts. I have been doing the microdosing he was talking about for peanuts for a few years now, so that has greatly helped me with that allergy. Now I can truly eat anywhere, and almost anything. Before it, I had to bring my own food to restaurants, and that really sucked. Sorry for the whole essay here

[@kimmuckenfuss2284]

I'm thinking sometimes allergies may be related to or be an indicator of the strength of a person's immune system at any given point in time. So, take for example your brother...maybe @ one time his immune system was compromised @ the time he ate seafood that he had the allergic reaction to. Fast forward a period of time, he accidentally eats something he's supposed to be allergic to & nothing happens. Honestly, I can't prove it, but since allergies are so intertwined with the immune system & responses...I would almost put money on this hypothesis. Maybe in the future you won't have problems with dairy if your immune system improves? I'm not saying go drink milk or anything, but maybe speak w/your doctor about the possibility.

I believe the answer lies in pesticides and herbicides - glyphosate in particular. I'm a gardener and remember well when glyphosate was introduced, my boss showing off that 'It's so safe, you can practically drink it!' (Yes, he actually said that). Up to its introduction, I didn't know a single person with an allergy - then suddenly kids were getting strawberry and then nut allergies. I'm not saying such allergies didn't exist before, there's always going to be some with weaker systems who develop allergies to something, but this was on an escalating scale. By the very fact that it's already been proved glyphosate has a very negative influence on the complex bioflora in your gut (killing it, in short), then those parasites you mention may come in when your bioflora is particularly 'low' and do some 'damage' then. Look how the number of people with allergies has increased over the years. Look at the number of those who have developed intolerances. Can it be any 'mere' coincidence that the increase in allergy/intolerance cases happens at the same time the farming industry has in fact 'increased' its usage of glyphosate (from merely clearing fields of weeds to 'deliberately' spraying grain crops to desiccate all the plants for harvest at the optimum time)? My family never had one instance of an allergy or even an intolerance - and now several of us have them: gluten, milk, food colouring, meat, eggs, bananas. Meal times for us are more like a chemistry lesson now!

[@surfinmuso37]

Nobel Laureate Charles Richet demonstrated over a hundred years ago that injecting a protein into animals or humans causes immune system sensitization to that protein. Subsequent exposure to the protein can result in allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. This fact has since been demonstrated over and over again in humans and animal models. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) confirmed that food proteins in vaccines cause food allergy, in its 2011 report on vaccine adverse events. The IOM’s confirmation is the latest and most authoritative since Dr. Richet’s discovery. Many vaccines and injections contain food proteins.

In our grandparents' day (great grandparents' day if you're a millennial) some children were routinely dismissed as "sickly", and often no further explanation of their persistent poor health was sought―or wasn't available if it _was_ sought.

Maybe an interesting search would be to see a geographical distribution of deadly food allergies. Might kids growing up outdoors in rural areas have fewer deadly allergies than city kids?

I've literally always been allergic to peanuts, yet when i was younger my family had no idea that peanuts was causing my eczema and now hives. but the worst thing was that when i was younger is that peanuts were my favourite thing, i used to eat them in almost every single meal- but slowly as the years have gone by my allergies to peanuts have gotten worse, i never got a epipen from a doctor bc my allergies have never been serious enough and my reaction to peanuts is usually onset, but last week i ate a candy bar with peanuts in it that didnt say it had on in the front of the package (i dont usually check labels if im being honest) so i ate it but after tasting the peanuts i spit it right out, i probably swallowed now even half a peanut bc i took a small bite, but regardless of that how 5 days later im covered in hives and my face has been swollen for the past two days

[@scheimong]

I remember 4 years ago when I was still in high school, there was this very ordinary Friday morning, when I started getting itchy "mosquito bites" on my arm in class. Mosquitos do tend to have a particular affinity towards me and I get bitten very often so I wasn't that surprised or concerned. But then those "bites" started appearing on my other arm, legs, chest, groin, back and my face. I never had any allergies before in my life so I didn't know they were actually hives, instead I thought it must be some tiny mysterious bug that's biting me all over. It eventually got so bad I had to go to the school clinic, who immediately had a teacher accompany me to a nearby hospital to get allergy suppression drugs. The symptoms all cleared quickly after I took the drugs, and I was fine that afternoon. 4 years later I'm attending university 8000km from home and still haven't figured out what was the cause of that allergic reaction, nor has anything similar reappeared afterwards. I've read recently that more than half of allergy cases were in fact not traceable back to a specific source, so that kind of reassures me a bit.

[@sion8]

I had a similar experience at home in my early teens, now an adult I have no idea what happened but I haven't really thought about it and this video made it even worse since it can happen to anyone at any age.

[@neuralmute]

This happens to me a couple of times a year. The problem is that I have so many severe environmental and food allergies that even if I don't *think* I've come in contact with anything unusual that I might be reacting to, it could be a reaction to virtually anything else I've come in contact with that wouldn't even cross my mind. Meanwhile I'm seeing an allergist regularly and undergoing long-term immunotherapy to attempt to make everything I've tested positive for a little bit less potentially fatal, and still having these mystery reactions. I've come to the conclusion that sometimes, immune systems are just sadistic bastards.

I just want to mention that for some people their allergies are severe enough that sitting next to a bowl of what they are allergic to or contact with someone who recently ate or handled the thing could be enough to be dangerous. Obviously he had checked it wasn’t going to cause harm in this particular situation but to everyone else, not only please don’t trick people into eating something they are allergic to but also don’t bring the thing into their presence at all unless you have checked how extreme their allergy is. I have heard of people who have got sick or even died because they were kissed by someone who had eaten something they are allergic to! How scary must it be being that allergic! I’m so thankful that my allergies are not that severe!

[@neuralmute]

Thanks for this message! If there's anything more horrifying than waking up on a plane while going into anaphylaxis because the people around you had been eating peanuts, I'm not sure what it is. All I know is that there was a very kind nurse on board who helped me with my Epipen, Benedryl, and got me strapped to an oxygen tank so I could breathe for the rest of the flight, instead of choking to death on my own throat from the amount of recirculated peanut oil on the air. On another occasion, my niece, (who has many of the same allergies as I do, but is much smaller), briefly stopped breathing because she had sat in a chair where the previous occupant had been eating peanuts. Her parents saved her with fast Epipen action, but it was way too close a call! Never underestimate how bad someone's allergies might be. That lack of concern could cost their life.

I've been reading alot about "leaky gut syndrome" and how things like excessive growth of candida (due to antibiotics killing good bacteria in your body which normally keeps this under control) can cause your intestinal wall to weaken, allowing small food particles to escape into your body, which then your body starts attacking. Also plenty of other things can cause this "leaky gut syndrome". Perhaps this is a cause of this? Perhaps pestisides or overly processed foods can also attribute to this.

[@pinerock9668]

Leaky gut can cause food sensitivity and allergys as food particles that should be stopped leak into your body and your immune system attacks it. The new allergies increase your immune response and the problem grows and so does the list of foods you must avoid

Eating dirt is actually extremely beneficial, as it provides bacteria and enzymes that benefit digestion. It's what you're eating from the grocery store that causes the problems! "Why are so many people allergic to food?" DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW? Most food allergies are caused by a condition known as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). And the reason why food allergies are ever-more prevalent is because the CAUSE of hypoglycemia is ever-more prevalent: REFINED CARBOHYDRATE CONSUMPTION. "Big Money" ensures that this information stays buried, because both the food industry and medical industry make a FORTUNE off of this crap. Want to know more? "It's Okay To Be Smart."

I used to never react to anything, but my daughter has been sensitive to dairy from the time she was a little baby. If I ate dairy, then nursed her, she got pinprick rashes on her body and she would cry all the time. She stopped having the issue when I stopped eating dairy, so for about a year I went off dairy. Then, when I had finished weaning her, I started to have serious, instant reactions to something in liquid coffee creamer, and in certain sugar free foods. The first time, i thought I had a stomach bug. Normally I drink my coffee with milk and at that time was using almond milk as a replacement. Well I was at a Ladies retreat, and I hadn't had regular coffee creamer in so long, so I decided to try it. I had a cup of decaf with some international brand liquid creamer, and about ten minutes later I was so sick I became dehydrated. It was awful. I had never reacted to creamer that way before, and didn't even consider that it had been the cause. I thought it was something I had eaten, since it was a group get together and there were lots of different potluck foods. Honestly, the cramps felt so horrible. It was just like food poisoning, or if you've had a baby, just like labor. It was gone within a few hours but it felt like all day, haha. When I had another cup of coffee with liquid creamer at my parents' house about a week later, I figured it out. The third time I was sick like that, a relative had given me a coffee from a local coffee shop chain. I drank a fair amount of it and then got sick again. Turns out it was sugar free (not something I usually eat), and for my mother in law, but our drinks had been swapped by mistake. Also was bad for her as she's a diabetic, and mine was a regular mocha. I think the artificial sweetener that's in liquid coffee creamer might be the culprit. I now react the same way to Arizona Arnold Palmer, which nowadays is only sold in "lite" where I live. It has artificial sweetener too Now I don't use coffee creamer unless it's the simple ingredients kind made with just real sugar and half and half. Usually I just take it with milk. I am definitely not a doctor or pathologist or whatever expert handles allergies, so this is all a guess. I suspect the hormonal change of stopping nursing, paired with beginning to drink and eat dairy products again, may have set my body off. I notice a lot of people here mentioning not being allergic to things until they reach puberty age or early adulthood, when our bodies are going through hormonal changes. While I was pregnant with her, I was stung by bees and reacted more strongly than usual. Normally I'd just get a little raised bump from a bee sting but both times I was stung on my hand and both times my forearm and fingers swelled up. I have been stung since then and react normally. Food reactions are weird man EDIT: I realize my issue is probably an intolerance not an allergy.

For my entire life, I have been allergic to all tree nuts to some degree. Growing up as a kid if I ate some nut by mistake it would make me a bit nauseous and maybe some hives. As a high school student I was on a trip and had baklava for the first time. I became a bit nauseous but my face started to swell. I went to the emergency room. I was treated with Benadryl in one arm and adrenaline in the other. One side was ready to pass out and the other side was ready to dance all night. The sleepy side won. The next morning I was fine. Fast forward to a few years ago after a heart attack and the heart medicine Lysinopril. I ate a quarter of a cookie that was oatmeal, cranberry, and walnut. For some reason I missed the word walnut on the label. I knew in about 20 seconds that there was a problem. I went and got some Benadryl. Normally that would have been all I need to do. But because I was on Lysinopril my reaction went off the rails. My face started to swell and a coworker called 911. I remember the EMTs bringing the gurney in to the store. I remember getting on the gurney. I remember waking up in ICU with a tracheotomy in my throat and a feeding tube up my nose about 2 weeks later. I was in the hospital for a month because of one quarter of a cookie.

Interesting. My middle sister was *born* with nasty allergies - the only fabric that could touch her skin for a couple of years was cotton washed in Ivory Snow, otherwise she'd go bright red all over and her skin would start cracking. Unsurprisingly, she also developed a very sensitive peanut allergy (the kind that can be fatal with just the smallest amount of peanut oil in the air nearby). It's gotten better, thankfully - the whole fabric issue was gone by the time she was about 2 years old, and her peanut allergy faded (though didn't disappear) in late adolescence/early adulthood. Interestingly, my high school biology teacher actually did her doctorate in immunology on allergic reactions. Apparently (now, this is admittedly from almost 30 years ago), our immune "memory" cells (the ones that identify harmful intruders into our systems) have long chains recording pretty much every substance we ingest/interact with. If those chains get cut somewhere, an allergy will develop - the degree of the allergy dependent on where the chain for that particular protein/substance is cut. As we age, they can get cut again, which is why allergies can change intensities or disappear. At least, that's how she explained it to us. My mother had a shellfish allergy for about 3-5 years; it gave her migraines and made her sick. But then it vanished as quickly as it had shown up.

[@TheXev]

My body has only had a food allergic reaction when in used in combination with something else. In my case if I am taking the antibiotic bactrim, and then eat my favorite Chinese food: House Speical Fried Rice, I will then have a reaction where I must regurgitate the food or blackout pass out. I can normally take bactrim on its own or House Speical Fried Rice on its own, but not the two together! I no longer get prescribed bactrim when I need an antibiotic just a precaution now.| The other allergic reaction I have had is when using fabric softener. I went 6 months when I first entered college and didn't use fabric softener in my laundry due to my lack of funds. I then purchased fabric softener and washed my laundry only to break out in hives (a condition my Grandfather on my father's side also had). I thought at first I had lost some kind of built of tolerance I had acquired over the years of by not using fabric softener, but later was able to wear fabric softener washed clothes if I did my laundry at home. My home has well water, in college I lived in an apartment and used city water. While fabric softener will now make me a little ichy regardless, I will get full blown hives if I wash my laundry only when using fabric softener + a city water source. I am no doctor, but I have to wonder if in Emily's case it is a combination of things: That particular cereal she was consuming, plus the almond milk. We as humans are a complicated set of chemicals ourselves, why is it hard to imagine that mixing compounds together then adding to our own chemical makeups would always go smoothly, even if alone those two things are okay?

3:40 some food intolerances can kill you though, just not as quickly and through an indirect way. Also food intolerances can develop into food allergies over time.

[@taylorgayhart9497]

Yup! My intolerance to gluten and milk had caused such high levels of inflammation in my body that basically my organs couldn’t function properly. My kidneys were constantly infected and were starting to fail, and my entire digestive system was so destroyed I was malnourished despite eating a normal diet. I had to go on a special diet and for like a year only ate what my doctor allowed. So yeah it took 22 years to get to that point, but my body was literally shutting down from a food intolerance.

[@hanakowolf578]

Personally, I STRONGLY agree with the parasite theory. Might I suggest another theory? Maybe it's a chemical or pesticide that was used while producing certain food products? Or it could even be a chemical compound, like potassium. I recently found out that I'm allergic to loads of nuts (except peanut and cashew, which I find odd), certain fruits such as coconut and cantaloupe, vegetables, and shellfish. It's just a possibility.

[@awesomness6775]

I used to love 4 fruits/vegetables before I randomly started reacting to them. Now I am allergic to Watermelon, Carrots, Grapes, and Bananas. It's like my body doesn't want me to eat healthily.

[@neuralmute]

Me too - I used to be able to *live* on fresh fruit! My grandparents had an orchard, and fruit was just what I ate. Then I had a weird allergic reaction to a nectarine about 20 yrs. ago. Cherries were next. And a couple more the next year. Now I'm allergic to more fruits and vegetables than I can actually eat, unless they're thoroughly cooked or processed. Since I'm also allergic to a whole load of nuts and legumes, these days I live on a lot of grains, dairy, and processed fruits & veggies; ie. canned fruits, or stewed tomatoes. And croissants from the Farmers' Market. :9 I discussed this oddity with my allergist, and her explanation was amazing: I've been cross-reacting to certain proteins in these foods that are similar to those in certain tree pollens that I'm severely allergic to, and so my body is reacting to these foods raw as if I'd just taken a great big mouthful of (for example) birch pollen. My immune system is a complete assh*le. But thoroughly cooking the foods I react to raw breaks down the offending proteins enough that they can slip past my haywire immune system, though it still kind of sucks, as I still can't handle them enough to do the cooking myself.

I have an allergy to cantaloupe. I remember my grandma offering me some when i was around 5 or 6 years old. I came back home itchy on my back, but since I have diagnosed eczema, I thought it was no big deal. about an hour later i told my mom to finally reveal the hives all over my back, neck, and arms. I also used to be allergic to something in marshmallows when I was younger for a short time. I can't use soaps or shampoos with lots of scents or fragrance in them or I will develop hives. Every year when the season changes my face erupts into a rash for about a week. I am literally the only person in my entire family that has an allergy, eczema, and skin sensitivity.

[@T-Rex_Khan]

I have a really bad citrus allergy. If someone opens a citrus in a room I'm my body just shuts down. My throat will start to swell and close up. Doctors are very confuse why this is and even rare for an allergy to be airborne. I have to keep an epi pen on me at all times. It sucks because as a child I used to eat them all the time but now I can't even get close to one.

[@christianheichel]

They are working on a potential cure for allergies at least on a conceptual basis. The concept is you dose what you're allergic to on a nano scale maybe slightly bigger but small enough to not trigger a bad immunity response, over time the body develops a tolerance to said toxin/food stuffs/chemical. The down side is if you stop dosing your body will slowly loose it's tolerance Interesting side note my wife's allergic to latex and there's a naturally occurring form in bananas and some other fruits

[@Pedro-tm6ue]

There's already a treatment that consists on periodical injections of alergens that you administer to "allergy-prone" kids. You do this for about 1 year. It even helps people with allergic asthma. I did that when I was a kid and I still have less severe allergic reactions, so what you said about having to keep doing it is not entirely true. But of course it won't last forever and you may need to do it again, but we're talking 10+ years...

[@DaglasVegas]

The rise in Food Allergies seems to be mostly an American problem. People in the U.S. get more food allergies than in other countries. So the rise in Allergies must have a cultural aspect to it...some way people in North America behave that is different than people in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe the solution won't be medicinal, it would be a cultural change in lifestyle.

I always ate kiwi growing up and would notice my mouth/throat feeling a little tingly after a while (it was never anything serious just felt weird).

I grew up without any allergies, developed full-blown celiac disease at about 40. This was followed by an allergy to milk, tomatoes, green chile, and corn. I have had NAET allergy elimination treatments (a type of acupuncture), this eliminated the milk allergy, but I am still allergic to gluten, and the corn allergy developed in the last few years. I have not eaten in a restaurant in about ten years. The celiac disease runs in my mother's family. I think too much sugar is one cause for the increase in allergies, but also stress on the adrenal glands due to all the chemicals in the environment. For those who are becoming more allergic to things, I suggest taking adrenal cortex every day.

Just a thought. Allergies are scary on a life threatening level! One thing that has bothered me is Carrageenan. It is in many foods...organic...yet it is something that causes "stomach issues" of several kinds. It is used for many things...in milks, ice creams, emulsifiers, etc. Read up on it!

I'm allergic to citrus. The reaction goes up and down - at times I will break out in blood blisters from touching them. Previously before I had that severe of a reaction, when I'd have orange juice I tasted it as SOUR. It was worse to me than drinking white vinegar. I wouldn't call breaking out in your mouth - or further down your digestive tract, to be a mild reaction. I figure if I get blood blisters on my hands, it could be deadly if the entire esophagus, stomach, and intestines were covered in them.

A couple of gulps and he turned red, screamed in pain, fell off his chair in a dead faint, and started to swell up. Worst experience ever.

Peanut butter and jelly on bread is an entirely allergy-inducing non-food, because it is HIGHLY PROCESSED. "Why are so many people allergic to food?" DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW? Most food allergies are caused by a condition known as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). And the reason why food allergies are ever-more prevalent is because the CAUSE of hypoglycemia is ever-more prevalent: REFINED CARBOHYDRATE CONSUMPTION. "Big Money" ensures that this information stays buried, because both the food industry and medical industry make a FORTUNE off of this crap. Want to know more? "It's Okay To Be Smart." But intelligence without wisdom is like a boat without water; it won't take you very far. On the other hand, wisdom can take you VERY far!

[@kalyke8119]

@@tomrhodes1629 I hope you realize that you are simply not right. Hypoglycemia has nothing to do with allergies, especially Allergies that were developed in the womb. Food allergies CAN cause Hypoglycemia. Have you ever heard of the phrase "Correlation doesn't imply Causation"? What I'm saying is that even though the two things are linked (outside of the womb may I add), doesn't mean Hypoglycemia causes food allergies. even if what you stated is true, I'd like to see your sources. Mild Hypoglycemia has little to no effect on pregnancy, in fact it has more effect on the mother rather than the baby. Severe cases CAN result in the development of type 2 diabetes in the mother and possibly type 1 diabetes in the Baby.

Allergies aren't just potentially dangerous, they're extremely weird. The part about not knowing what hit you is really the most unpleasant thing about an allergic response. So I know that I'm allergic to some cleaning products, but I often have no idea which ones. Once I took a ferry and leaned against the seat to nap, and when I woke up the half of my face which touched the seat was swollen, the whole of me was itchy and uncomfortable. The told me they'd used pinesol to wipe down the seat, and while I am allergic to pine I've never had *that* kind of reaction to pine or pinesol before or since, it's usually just a runny nose. IDK what happened? Also, being allergic to some pollens, one day walking down the street my lips suddenly started itching then swelling, and my whole mouth was itchy. I power-walked home and took a benadryl, and from then on always carry one on me in my backpack (Yes, I just take a backpack everywhere) but I've never had it happen again, even walking in the exact same area at the same time of year.
