Question 1

any connection between food allergies and scleritis?

Accepted Answer

No: Food allergy does not cause scleritis.

Question 2

do you know of a connection between food allergies and scleritis?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Scleritis is inflammation of the outer protective layer of the eye (sclera).  There can be several reasons for scleritis, but food allergy is not where the answer will be found.  An ophthalmologist (eye specialist) will help you find the answer!

Question 3

is there a connection to overall health and the likelihood of developing a food allergy?

Accepted Answer

No, but....: The development of true food allergies after puberty is not common. Adults are more likely to develop food intolerances which can be annoying, but do not include the possibility of life-threatening reactions, as is possible with true food allergies. Regardless of whether it's an intolerance or allergy, the treatment is the same - you have to avoid the food(s) that bother you.

Question 4

is there a connection between enlarged adenoid and food allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would have to be in the differential with the sx of enlarged adenoids.

Question 5

is nasal allergy or nasal rhinitis has connection to a food allergy?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Could be food allergies or intolerances (notice how long after you eat a suspect food this starts), but more likely inhalant allergy or reaction to pollution or smoke.  Cleaning up your diet with fresh veggies, fruits, fiber can help, avoiding the "whites" refined sugar, flour, etc and chemicals found in diet foods.  Powdered (not tablet)  vit c (3000 mg) helps symptoms, butterbur, quercetin, too.

Question 6

do food allergies and p.o.t.s. have any correlation?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you have pots and have symptoms from food allergies that can worsen fatigue or change your fluid balance, the impact will be negative but mostly related to symptoms.  If you are asking if food allergies could cause pots, not likely.  I assume you mean igg food allergies, not emergent ige allergies.

Question 7

can you please develope food allergies just because they eat a certain food/s everyday?

Accepted Answer

No: Food allergy can present at any times in your life. Eating certain foods everyday does not increase your risk of getting allergy to that particular food. Instead, you have a higher risk of getting food allergy if you have other atopic diseases like allergic rhinitis, asthma, urticaria, eczema, and other food allergies....

Question 8

what are the symptoms of the most common food allergy?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: The most common symptoms of food allergies are rash (hives or eczema) and gastrointestinal (vomiting or diarrhea).

Question 9

what would cause an adult in his 50s to develop a food allergy?

Accepted Answer

Typical: All adults essentially change their allergies about ever 7 years, so even if you were not not allergic to some food, you can be now.

Question 10

how much exactly food is generally required to trigger the food allergy?

Accepted Answer

Tiny amounts!: If you are truly food allergic, minute amounts of a food protein can cause a serious reaction.  That is why some airlines quit serving peanuts because the circulating peanut dust can cause a reaction.  Foods now also carry a warning that they are manufactured in plants where peanuts, or nuts, or other food allergens, are also produced.
