A member asked:
Is it possible to have a allergic reaction to something five hours later after eating?

Yes, but less likely: The rate at which we react to various allergens in in foods can be very rapid, but can be slowed by absorption in the intestines.

Yes.: Allergy to carbohydrates in beef and pork often present as anaphylaxis four or more hours after the meal. This is an uncommon presentation for food allergy.
