I have severe allergies to food, chemicals and enviorment. I get very swollen in my face and all over my body. I have been using Quercitin from GNC which has helped a great deal for the swelling. It is a bioflavenoid made out of the B vitamin. I actually also use it when I have a cold or congestion and muskle pain, and believe it has help me for that too. Quercitin helps with swelling in the Cells( I believe it's called T-cells).

Hi Bunny123,
No one likes it when they have food allergies. Not only don't you enjoy eating, but then the worry that an allergic reaction will turn deadly. Do you know specifically which foods you are allergic to?
Here are some resources I found online that will help you manage your allergies. I hope you have a doctor you are working with. Only a medical professional can truly determine what your best course of treatment should be.
You can start by reading a bit about how allergies affect the body here in the allergy database. Then if you are having symptoms that seem like they don't belong or you think you should be having other symptoms that do not appear, then you can check that information out in the symptoms database located here. Located here is an article specifically about adult food allergies, with some tips on how to cope and avoid them.
I hope this helps some. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
