Do you still eat food that you know you have allergic with?

Most people don't do that. Sometimes a certain food like peanut give them a severe allergic reaction. One of my friend, has allergic to shrimp, lobster, or any other shell fish. But that doesn't stop her for eating them. She always said " Hey, I only have one life, and I won't let my allergic get in the way in enjoying a good food." So, evertytime she showed up like she just got an poison ivy attack we all know that she did enjoy her lobster before. Anybody in my lot is the brave too when it comes to food allergic?

I have a LOT of food allergies and if I didn't eat most of them that I have mild reactions to, I'd have nothing to eat. I do NOT eat corn, which I'm acutely allergic to and I avoid hollow peppers because I don't like my reaction to them. I do watch how much I eat of some of the other ones that bother me, like beef, I only it it once a week because I don't want to have a reaction to it and not be able to eat it for a couple of months.

hi ElicBxn, sorry to hear that. It must be really hard. Is there any medicine or prescription that can help to reduce the reaction? I mean from your respond, basically you are allergic to Food. Well, I hope you still can enjoy it..

I have antigens if I get into something that makes me sick or if I eat too much of something that aggravates a reaction, but at $11 a pop, and no way to replace them if I use them up, I'm trying to save them

No , no , I don't dare to do that. I am allergic to coconut. Any thing of coconut immediately aggravates my blood pressure, and I get very dizzy. very veru dangerous. So, I have to be very careful with any food that has coconut in it. Before taking, I have to make sure it does not have coconut in it.

So far I have no allergies on foods so I can eat anything I want, the only precautions I make is to avoid too much fats and processed foods because they are carcinogenic.
