Food Allergies In Adults
2/ 5/10 11:34pm
Are there any ways to prevent development of food allergies as an adult? In the last few years I've developed several. The first were gradual in onset, and over a year or two period lead to oral sores and swelling in the throat/difficulty breathing. Recently I've developed some new allergies quite rapidly.. in that one week I could eat citrus, and the next I develop oral sores and sore/swollen throat within minutes of contact. Today I've noticed itchy tongue when eating chocolate. I am concerned about developing more allergies and would like to know if there's any way to prevent this.

I have been experiencing Dyspnea for the past 3 days and finaly went to Urgent Care last night. They found quite elevated D. Dimer (651 where the range is normally <250) so they did a CT scan, an EKG and blood work - all negative and no evidence of clots. I am 50 and in excellent health except for this shortness of breath as of 3 days ago. My resting pulse averages 42 and my B/P has always been around 90/70. The doctors were confounded and prescribed Ativan for stress, but the shortness of breath persists and Ativan isn't treating that elevated D. Dimer count either. I wonder if an allergist is the right person to be talking to....?
