Has he had reactions after eating foods?  Testing is not very accurate and has a high false positive rate.  People who are not allergic can test positive.  By itself a positive test does not mean a person is allergic.  Test results have to be combined with reaction history.  A food allergy reaction generally starts within minutes to up to 2 hours of eating a food.  About 95% of the time it starts within 30 or 45 min of eating the food.  If you are seeing symptoms start in that window, I would suspect those foods.  if there are some foods on that list that your child has been eating without any reaction, I would suspect false positives. 

I would make as long a list of things you are not avoiding:

chicken
beef
rice
quinoa
fruit
vegetables for the most part other than beans and corn

You can make many things from that list.

I'd stick with easy things for now.  Chicken or meat plus potatoes or rice and veggies and fruit.  I'd also talk with the doctor about seeing which foods might be false positive so you are not avoiding more than necessary.  Even avoiding one food is hard.  thats a very long list!

Oh wow. Can I ask what kind of test? Was it skin orick test only, or were the results through a blood test?  Both can have false positives, but skin orick tests can have a high false positive rate. Have you noticed reactions to any of these foods before? Reaction history is the best indicator. Often times when a doctor does a blanket kind of test you'll see false positives. Follow your allergist's advice, but especially if your child only had a skin orick test, I would go back

Was this a board certified allergist ir a naturopath?  We redone having a board certified allergist.

Your child does seem to fit the allergic profile, but I'm wondering if he rally is allergic to all those things.

my grandson as just got his results back from having a allergy test...doctor called me to notify me of what hes allergic too,.....this sounds insane....hes allergic to pork, egg whites, wheat, soy bean, peanuts, oranges, codfish, corn,yeast, dog dander and cockroaches!!!!! Really? He has been sick all his life, typical, breathes thru his mouth, breaks out in hives, sneezes, itchy watery eyes, itchy, he feels the hives coming on and thats when i get  him his allergy pills....but not I have requested to see a allergist to make sure this is what hes allergic too...it seems like to many things....it seems he will be very limited in his foods....hes 11yrs old......i dont know what to feed him!!! help

This thread is a woo magnet.

Can I ask who diagnosed you?  Because all of the symptoms you are experiencing are not considered to be allergic responses.  You do not want to cut out foods based on test results alone. 

Hello overwhelmed.  I have had many of the same symptoms you are having including joint, back,head,and abdominal pain.  My left knee became inflamed so much I had to have arthroscopic surgery and it took 12 months for my knee to feel ok again.  I am in debt to the tune of $60,000+ in medical, urgent care, and emergency room visits.  I am almost 44 years old and I just found out I am allergic to wheat, corn, walnuts and peanuts today.  No doctor could ever figure out what was wrong with me because fat people don't have food allergies. I was tested for celiac's but it came back negative.  I have had two kids and now I am worried for their health.  I have a friend with celiacs; so I am familiar with not being able to eat gluten.  I have had so much gas and bloating my daughter asked me if i was pregnant again.  Thank goodness I know lots of recipes and most times am a vegetarian.  I don't think we can eat any soy products since we are allergic to peanuts.  Stay away from all commercially produced (packaged) baked goods, candies, fried and then frozen foods, potato chips, corn tortilla chips.  This means no more gluten free corn bread muffins.  It is good thing to be checked out now.  Make sure to wash off all your fruits and veggies even bananas.  Now I have to get my kids tested for these allergies. 

passn4hrt--have you had some reactions?  What brought you to the allergist?

A positive test doesn't mean a person is allergic.  Food allergy testing has a very high false positive rate.  It is possible to develop an allergy at any age but extremely uncommon to develop more than one suddenly.  I hope you seek a 2nd opinion allergist to see if you are actually allergic to all those foods.

Tests can't diagnose an allergy by themselves and have to be used in combination with reaction history.  They can't tell how severe an allergy is, either.  A person can test high and not be allergic and a person can test low and be allergic.

I am 45 yrs old and I too have allergies to food and much  more. I have allergies to corn, soy, milk, eggs, oranges, cumin, and curry. My allergist gave me a blood test and that is the ones I am moderately allergic to. There is more that I am sure will become moderate over time. I already  get allergy shots for trees, grasses, mold, mildews, and dust. I am unsure what my allergist will suggest that I do about the food ones but seems as I get older I become allergic to more things. We have a few places around my area that sell stuff that is gluten free and milk and egg free but I have not been there yet. I  am trying to learn more about my allergies first.

Mackenzie, I'm sorry that you are struggling with feeling unwell, and that you are struggling so much to find out WHY, in addition.  That's a horrible double-whammy to deal with.

I'm wondering if your doctor that advocated a more "holistic" approach had any reason why s/he was giving you that particular advice.  It does seem strange in light of the possible gall bladder issues.  What did your previous internist say re: your testing results?  Is there a reason why you're reluctant to do surgery-- assuming that this is what your internist recommended?

Believe it or not, gall bladder issues can come in a wide array of possible symptoms-- and of course it's not necessarily the case that your foot cramping is related (sorry-- that could be a separate matter).

Im a 26 year old female and over the last 6-8 months i have been struggling with incredible burning in my stomach and feet cramping. I have had a colonoscopy / endoscopy and both looked fine. then  I had an ultrasound and a HIDA scan done. It showed that my ejection fraction and only functioning at 13% which means that my gallbladder isnt releasing any where near the correct amount of bile to coat my food.  The thing that i have found strange is that with the gallbladder it should be flaring up with fatty foods and for me thats not the case. I went a saw a different doc today and she told me to take a more holistic approach and try avoiding wheat, soy and corn. Im willing to try this out because i would like to avoid surgery. just wondering if anyone else has has stomach burning and cramping in the feet.

thanks

I haven't read through all the comments, but my son is allergic to everything on your list and then some. I have literally cried multiple times in whole foods shopping for food for him. There is a product line called Enjoy Life. They make cookies, chocolate chips, fruit bars, candy bars. I'm sure there are other items. Almost all of their products are free of all of those allergens. He's 8, so snacks are a big deal. He can have Breyers All Natural chocolate ice cream and Heinz makes a ketchup called simply heinz that does not have Corn Syrup in it. The rest of his diet is meat and vegetable/fruit related. I think the key to making food work for you is figuring out what to use in place of things like eggs. We used an egg replacer until he tested positive for potato. I often use applesauce. Also, look into Namaste products. I do shop a lot online as it's very hard to find these products in stores.

Hello everyone!

i have a situation simillar to yours.

lea, do you have any news after so long time? Did something really help you, and were the symptoms finally fade out as you changed your diet?

Also, i would like to ask you if you take any medication for (link removed by Administrator for violation of Terms of Service)

Friday I was diagnosed with the exact same allergies as you I'm glad I've actually found someone who is suffering the same!what have you been eating? In finding it very hard too

I also have experienced very similar symptoms as you for the past couple months. Every time I would eat I'd feel extremely nauseous..I recently found out I am allergic to wheat, soy, pork, corn & peanuts! It's almost impossible to avoid all of these common ingredients so it is difficult for me.
