A member asked:
Why do i have so many allergies? i am allergic to over 20 foods, nuts, and vegetables. will i ever be able to eat normal foods again?

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.
