Hi sukay,

A big welcome :-D

I did read a bit of it and there seems to be some connection in people with asthma.

I can relate to some of the feelings after I eat certain foods..I get pains from certain foods, and a feeling of fullness - like something is stuck in there. It stays for a long while. I have asthma, and using my rescue inhaler helps somewhat, and Allegra will also help.

I'm also fighting some sort of throat/sinus thingie, so it's hard to distinguish if it's food, toothpaste (I react to many), cold, asthma, change in weather, allergy, reflux (which I've been having lately)... I'll wait till Monday to see if things improve, then call for an appointment to see my doc.

Sukay, they will probably do skin testing of foods to see if he's showing any reactions. You may also consider to keep a food diary of what he ingests (including vitamins, supplements, drinks...everything) for him until the appointment. Sometimes being the detective gives some insight.

Also, one can try eliminating foods for a few days, see if his symptoms change at all. There are some allergy elimination diets on the internet, eating only "non-offending foods"?, and then slowly adding foods that he normally eats to see if there are any reactions.

From what I read a while ago, four days seems to be the magic number. Cycling foods -- eg. eggs..have only every 4 days, not daily. Some people are OK with that, others may have a reacton.

It sounds very complicated, but if he sees an allergist, I'm sure it will all get sorted out.

It's great to see you here,
My best to you,
quincy
