Accepted Answer

Corn allergy: The major allergen, to which the majority of allergic persons make allergic antibody ige, is the same in all corn varieties. Rarely, persons can become allergic only to a minor allergen which may be different between varieties of any one species. A good rule of thumb is assume that all forms of corm will trigger and allergic reaction.

Question 2

how can i be allergic to yellow corn and still be able to eat white corn and not get sick?

Accepted Answer

Probably...: ...Because you're not truly allergic to corn; you have an *intolerance* to certain types of corn, and not others. People with true allergy to corn typically must avoid all corn and corn derivatives. So if white corn causes no problems for you, that's great! stick with that, and avoid only the varieties that cause problems for you.

Bronchitis : You may have a bronchitis which may be viral or bacterial in origin. If you also have fever I would see your doctor.

i have been suffering with a runny tummy since saturday and i haven't been able to eat anything really. i've taken smecta as well as pectikon and it's still runny and green/yellow in color. my anus is really sensitive and sore since! please help?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: This is presumably a viral gastrointestinal tract infection. To control diarrhea eat a very bland diet with no roughage, drink room temperature fluids in good amounts. To get calories drink flat Coca-Cola or flat ginger ale. Take imodium and if this doesn't control severe diarrhea, ask your physician for a prescription for lomotil or paregoric. If severe diarrhea persists get a  stool culture done

Question 7

Accepted Answer

It depends: The answer to the question depends upon how it was determined that you were allergic to over 20 foods nuts and vegetables. Often this determination is based upon blood or skin tests which may represent sensitivity but not necessarily reactivity. In other words although the test is positive you may be able to eat the food without difficulty. I would recommend that you see an allergist interested in.

Question 8

will i be able to eat fried calamari if i am allergic to shell fish?

Accepted Answer

May be: Calamari are one kind of squid, which are distant relatives of molluscs. They contain a protein, tropomyosin, that cross reacts with that of shrimp, crabs etc., sometimes also with that of dust mites and cockroaches. If you are not very allergic to shellfish, you may be able to tolerate calamari. If you are, either avoid them or see an allergist to be tested and find out if you can risk it.
