Question 1

can you tell me can i be allergic to baking soda?

Accepted Answer

Seriously doubt: Something else is going on. More data, please.

Question 2

i seem to have an allergic reaction to soda ash in outdoor swimming pool in florida?

Accepted Answer

Depends on reaction: Hi Theresa...unfortunately you didn't mention if you get a rash or nasal symptoms..or breathing symptoms......but presuming this is for your own pool, the best thing is to use a different type of product to adjust the pH in the pool....avoidance is the best treatment. Good luck

Question 3

i got baking soda on my skin and broke out in a rash. i eat bread and never had problems. could i be allergic to baking soda and not know it?

Accepted Answer

Likely Contact Rash: The reaction you describe is likely a contact rash to baking soda and has nothing to do with food allergies. You can continue to eat bread with no worry.

Question 4

i became recently allergic to all deodorants even the ones my dermatologist prescribed even baking soda or lemon.what can i do?help the summeriscoming

Accepted Answer

Deodorant allergies: You may want to try Botox injections to your underarms.  You need about 50 units on each side and it keeps you from sweating for about 6 months.  That will give you some time to get allergy testing done and figure out what is going on.  Good luck!

Question 5

i'm 33 year old female i drink a lot of soda and water too. i also drink cranberry juice from time to time. i'm also allergic to a lot of foods.  am i?

Accepted Answer

What's the ?: Soda is not good for you. Besides the fructose you will likely be belching more from the gas.  It is unusual for a person to be allergic to more than one food and thus you should consult an allergist to get this sorted out before you end up with malnutrition.

Question 6

when i drink a lot of caffeine (full soda, cup of coffee 5 hour energy) i get a rash, it's hard to breathe, and i start palpitating, am i allergic?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine: Sounds like you are sensitive to caffeine. A rash can sometimes occur from boing nervous. There are no similarities in what you drink to indicate an allergy other than caffeine and that does not produce an allergy.

Question 7

allergic reaction to a deodorant ( arrid xx ) i have clear leakage from under my arm. i also have itching and when i touch other parts of my body small bumps are now appearing. i'ved tried baking soda, anti fungal cream, anti itch cream.

Accepted Answer

This : This sounds like contact dermatitis which is a common problem and should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Question 8

what can i be allergic to? wheat flour, malitol, almonds, canola oil, almond flavor, backing soda, baking powder. itchy, swollen throat. breathing ok.

Accepted Answer

See allergist: Several items you have listed are not considered allergens although almond would be a likely suspect. Consult an allergist to find out.

Question 9

is soda unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

No healthy benefit: A little bit of soda here and there probably won't do you much harm, but the problem with most of us here in america is that we over-do it too often. Supersizes! does anyone really need a 32-oz gulper? But, i see people bring this to the doctor's office--seen 2 today! just look at how many cubes of sugar in a 32 oz cup--u now know why it is unhealthy. Live sensibly. Live long. Good luck.

Question 10

why are sodas so unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

Sugar and CO2: Sugar causes decayn elevated blood glucose an the whole chain of metabolic dysregulation.  Then there's the change in body ph associated with carbonated beverages .  Water is much healthier.
