Today's #FoodAllergy / #allergy heads-up:

#bananas are not supposed to taste tingly or burny. Neither are cucumbers, melons, sunflower seeds, zucchini, celery, oranges, peaches, tomatoes, apples, almonds, carrots, cherries, hazelnuts, peaches, pears, or plums.

If you have a burny or tingly taste when you eat a banana or banana bread or something like that, you probably have some form of oral allergy syndrome, and should have a doctor check you for sensitivity to pollen.

My local grocery store has replaced the only corn-free mustard it carried with another brand that uses corn.

It's just exhausting constantly managing food.

This grocer is less than ½ mile from my home, but there is a different one 1¼ miles away that still carries the safe mustard. It's an inconvenience to make a special trip to buy mustard, but it's manageable.

Worse things have happened. I know that. It just wears on me.

At first I thought this was a followup to another story about an anaphylactic reaction during an airplane flight *last week*. No, it's a totally separate incident.

One patient had an expired epi-pen. The other had never had #anaphylaxis before.

Both planes had bottles of #epinephrine and a syringe, not an auto-injector. Fortunately there were doctors on both flights who knew how to properly fill and deliver a shot.

More Breastfeeding = Less Infant Allergy: Best Of: 11/17/2022
Babies consuming more breastmilk containing one particular micro-RNA molecule enjoyed a lower risk of skin, food, and respiratory allergies. #breastfeeeding #pregnancy #allergy #eczema #foodallergy #obesity

I've expanded my thoughts about this on my blog, adding in the 2016 label changes (and similar peanut flour additions) and the Epi-Pen pricing scandal.

Food companies are adding sesame flour to foods that didn't have sesame so they can "comply" with new labeling requirements by always labeling "contains sesame" instead of instead of adding it to their existing cross-contamination protocols.

Meaning people with sesame allergy are suddenly finding that foods they used to be able to eat are now hazardous.

😲 It was late March 2015 when the first hive showed up.
It had been a stressful season of my life and I chalked my skin's inflammation up to stress.
Little did I know that I would struggle with chronic idiopathic hives for over six years before I found a resolution. 🤷‍♀️

Thread:

You know, I just realized again, I haven’t had a pistachio, walnut, hazelnut or cashew in over ten years.

When I had to give them up then, I knew I would miss them.

I still once and again, miss them.

But the journey of parenting a #foodallergy kid somehow, makes it okay…

New review from the Peters Lab at LJI: "T-cell epitope discovery and single-cell technologies to advance food allergy research"

As they write, "Advancements in single-cell T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing in combination with transcriptome analysis provide exciting opportunities for identification and characterization of the TCR repertoires of allergen-specific T cells."

A new law listing sesame seeds as a food #allergen has inadvertently "increased" the number of such products. Cheaper to list it as an allergen than to remove it from the ingredients.

I don't know who needs this information, but i just found an app that is potentially lifesaving

https://fig.app.link/share

You choose your allergies and/or dietary restrictions, and then either scan, or type in an item from a store, or restaurant and it will tell you if it is safe!!

I have #MultipleFoodAllergies and I know this is going to make my life a lot easier!

I ate something yesterday which caused an allergic reaction of some kind along the roof of my mouth. I'm not sure what it was, but it was related to my eating Chicken Chettinad.

Anyone have any ideas about potentially challenging ingredients (in terms of plausibly causing an allergic reaction) in that dish?

Here is a news story our poster presented at the ACAAI Annual Meeting last month! Pediatricians often send IgE food panels to figure out causes for #eczema, but in eliminating food, may increase the risk of #foodallergy!

https://www.healio.com/news/allergy-asthma/20221209/eczema-tops-reasons-why-pediatricians-order-food-allergy-ige-panels

We have a community grant from the ACAAI attempting to reduce food allergy panel IgE testing in the Atlanta metro area so pivot to early food introduction rather than elimination in the treatment of #eczema!

@Lynda I ate with close friends and family at a fabulous restaurant in #Boston a few weeks ago, Myers and Chang. The #food was DELICIOUS, the service was attentive, they took great care with my son’s #foodallergy and sat us at a table near the front of the restaurant, away from other diners and near a whirring air purifier. It was the happiest experience I’d had in a while but that’s because they made it WORTH IT in every respect. Not so much at the greasy spoon this morning.
