Hi 20 yr old with allergies recent got them about 3mnths ago im anaphylactic im guessing to tree nuts my allergists took blood 2weeks ago mixed my results up so im still waiting I ate DOMINOES PIZZA yesterday and had a reaction I used my epi and went straight to the hospital...the other reaction 2wkd ago occurred I i ate chicken n noodles the person said they used their normal ingredients and added a pinch of curry powder....my first was after my boyfriend kissed me after eating cashews it was the worst reaction due to the fact that I had never had a reaction before....anyone ever have a reaction to DOMINOS PIZZA I looked on ther sight n it didn't say anything for peanut or treenut allergies accept for n ther desserts any advice this thing really has me stressing out!
That's troubleing news! My only advice right now is to stop eating any and all prepared foods. Start cooking everything for yourself from scratch: fresh vegetables and fruits, homemade rice and grains, oatmeal, etc. It sounds like your allergy may be something else, like soy? It could be nuts too, or that your 'allergy cup' is over-full and other things are setting off the reactions. Until you get results back from the allergist you may want to be extra careful with what you eat. It may help to keep a food journal too, so should you have another reaction, you can track back to exactly what you ate and the ingredients you used.
The only way to track it down is to simplify the list of what you ingest. Make sure to count lip balms, gum, mints... anything. Right now I'm going through the exact same thing and I mean literally *right now*. I'm at my computer waiting to see if the orange juice I drank is going to progress past red marks on my lips.
Try one thing at a time, note reactions or tolerance. Build the list of what you can tolerate then try one new thing at a time. There's some days I'm only getting about 300 calories and I'm really hungry so I know how tempting it is to go back to places or things you've always eaten but unless you approach this systematically it's going to be really hard to pin down what you're reacting to.
Yea at this point the allergist is very NT helpful always on vaca or missing up results btw he is the 6th n my state on top of that I always have ate peanut butter n things that contained it Reese etc... I'm NT quite sold on a peanut allergy yet I think it may be cashew I also always have ate pizza frm this particular dominos but I heard that some ppl have problems with dominos so im NT sure I dnt think its soy because I eat a
lot of things that label for soy.....i have a question though, I have been eating this chicken frm a place in my local area I had it Two days back to back no reaction a
T all now today for some reason I called n asked wat they used n he said peanut flour!!!! Can I continue to eat this??
No, stop eating all processed foods, especially restaurants, where corss-contamination can be huge. If your allergist suspects peanut or other nuts you should stop eating anything with peanuts and all nuts (even traces) until your allergist can come to a conclusion.
Peanuts are not actually nuts. Tree nuts are a category of their own and include almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts. People who are allergic to peanuts may or may not be allergic to tree nuts and vice versa. However, with such a high risk for cross-contamination between nuts many people with peanut or tree nut allergies avoid them both.
Cooking your own food from fresh ingredients is the only way to know exactly what is going into your body and keep track of what, if anything, you react to.
Reactions to traces or a particular item can happen stronger one time and lesser the next. The scary thing about allergies is that they rely on so many factors and they aren't fully understood.
Please keep safe, do yourself a favour, and keep things simple for a while until you can get this under control, diagnosed properly, and go from there. Taking risks could land you in the hospital, or worse. Stay safe.
Remember to get a new refill on your EpiPen to replace the one you used.
