A member asked:
Can having a food allergy cause 30 pounds of unintentional weight loss in 4 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Usually: Food allergies typically cause hives, swelling, rapid crampy vomiting or diarrhea within 15-30 min of eating the food, difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction resulting in decreased blood pressure and circulatory collapse). If you have lost that much weight you should see your doctor for further evaluation.
