Can severe food allergies be treated so they are not life threatening for an ent
My daughter and son both have life-threatening allergies to tree nuts. It is a constant worry for me and my wife and it makes eating out in restaurants almost impossible. I wanted to know if there are any methods out there to reduce or remove these allergic reactions by the body.
Best answer:
I would talk to your allergist -- my guess would be no (in spite of the fact they often do this for less severe environmental allergies). And it would certainly be impossible to eliminate them!
Several observations:
a) Peeople can be real stupid about this. My favorites, well I thought he wouldn't be allergic to the nuts since they were chopped up. As if the shape somehow matters... Or, (to me) -- well we don't list eggs on the ingredient list because the eggs are just on eth outside to hold on the sesame seeds. (me: ummm -- but you listed the sesame seeds).
b) pay attention whenever they say their mouth, lips or tongue itches (or tingles, or feels strage, or turns blue or turns red or gets hives). Tell them it is OK to spit out any food at any time when they get those feelings!
c) Carry the epipen AND practice using it. make sure those around them know what to look for and how to respond.
d) Tag team in restaurants. One of you ask if there are any __ in the whatever menu item. Then have the other explain how severe the reaction is. When servers understand the impact, they really do care and won't to avoid hurting you in any way! (If you are just perceived as an overly picky eater they are not always as vigilant...)
Perhaps it would be possible to speak witha restaurant owner/manager who would help insure that there could always be something safe on the menu...
