Omega 3 fats allergy: Omega 3 fats may help prevent coronary disease &amp; dementia.  Allergic reactions can include difficulty breathing, hives and swelling of face, lips, throat, mouth or tongue.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Stop taking them: The only way to tell is to stop taking the supplement for at least 2 weeks. If the skin reaction subsided, that'd be the clue. If  you want to be double-sure, try the supplement again to see if the skin reaction returns.

Question 3

hi,my father has severe allergies eating seafood especially fish.should he take omega 3 fatty acid as a supplement or would that also trigger allergy.

Accepted Answer

Would not: especially over the counter supplements with unknown contents and not FDA regulated.

Question 4

can a person with a shellfish allergy have a reaction to sea salt?

Accepted Answer

No: Sea salt is obtained after evaporating sea water

Question 5

hi will these pills called omega-7 sea buckthorn oil interfere or interact with the effectiveness of my birthc pills in anyway?? im on combination pills btw and ive been feeling dry also want to get rid of my hyperpig marks and heard these help

Accepted Answer

No the omega-7 sea b: no the omega -7 sea buckthorn oil should not interfere  or interact with your BCP.  
As far as helping get rid of your hyperpig marks I know of no evidence that this will help.

Question 6

can i do a test for omega 3 in my body , i mean in blood test. and how much wants the fish oil to compense my needs if i don't eat any sea food ?

Accepted Answer

No need: Omegas have been recently discredited as cardiovascular protectors. A large study completed this year by the nih found no improvement in outcomes. So the demographic data that has indicated beneficial results of seafood consumption still applies; so eat ocean fish, not omegas.

Question 7

13 month old with flu like symptoms. scratches nose vigorously. can i give him aller guard? (allergy nasal spray). it contains 2% ectoin, sea salt and water.

Accepted Answer

Allergy: Ectoine is a compound that does stabilize the cell membrane. In this case the histamine cells of the nose. Should not be problem.

Question 8

can a parents allergies be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

Not Exactly: What is passed genetically from parent to child is the propensity to develop atopy (such as eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies) but usually not sensitization to specific allergens which the parent is allergic to.  The exception, which is a controversial topic, is drug allergies, but this is usually dependent on metabolism of the drug which is inherited rather than the allergy.

Question 9

should i keep a cat even if it causing allergy problems with my children ages 2 thru 7?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Several factors here.  I usually never recommend it if the family is attached to the pet, but if it is causing severe symptoms, you should sequester the animal out of the bedrooms and living spaces.  Then make sure you thoroughly rid those areas of cat dander as it is a potent and tenacious allergen.

Question 10

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.
