Most restaurants use MSG in their food preparation, but it’s not noted on the menu, as peanut products are. It can even be listed generically as “natural flavorings” as an ingredient. My friend developed a sudden and severe allergy, and died an agonizing death from anaphylactic shock, because she specifically asked the person selling it, and he said it didn’t (don’t think he knew). Can’t something be done?

I think one time he got it from cheese that had horseradish in it but we have yet to figure out what else causes it.
I believe he also has a different allergy to wine and or hard alcohol.
Nothing else usually happens to him other than the hot red blotches.

I have severely bad allergies.
I currently take Allegra 180mg but I still get symptoms.
Allergens: Most grasses, trees, cats, ragweed.
I take shots for my allergies every 3 weeks currently.
And if my allergies are irritated enough, I tend to go into something like an “allergy shock.”

I have been having allergies to corn and tested positive on my allergy test. I also tested positive for grass. I am now having allergy symptoms when I eat oat meal and any other products that contain oats.
What other foods may be related to corn? I already have a 4 page list of corn and corn byproducts so I am looking for other foods in the corn/grass family.
Thanks for your help!

My boyfriend seems to have allergies all year long but he hates Benedryll because it makes him feel like he’s high and sleep. Lately he’s been having them really bad because of the warm weather with all the pollen in the air plus our cats are shedding and he’s allergic to cats. We didn’t know he was allergic until we got them and we’re not getting rid of them now. He’s is eventually going to go to a doctor about it but for now what is the best allergy medication? Claritin? Zyrtec? What?

I’ve juts got this really bad flu, preventing me from getting out of my bed. I feel like a veggie, all I’m able to do is drink tea, sleep and watch TV. I suppose I’ve got this virus they told about on the news channels. This happened in the conditions that I barely get out for my house, as I’m working from home. However, I suppose I got it when I went shopping at the mall a couple of days ago. I’ve recently seen a documentary on TV showing people in a bus, one of them sneezing in the back, and they illustrated the trajectory of the viruses. You won’t believe that: the small saliva particles infected the whole bus. They arrived even at the passengers on the front seats. There’s no wonder it is so easy to get ill these days.

I must say now I’m sorry I didn’t get the anti-flu vaccine. I have to suffer these flu symptoms, because I’m allergic to so many drugs that treatment is almost impossible. Besides, I think I have to learn how to quit smoking, because it makes my symptoms even worse.
