Am i alergic to shellfish?

Question:

Whenever i eat shellfish (crabs muscles) i throw up like mad. is it an allergy?

Answers:
Hi, I have the same problem too. But not only shellfish, I can't take chicken, egg, seafoods ie. crab, shrimp, prawn (except fish) etc. That means I cant even eat my birthday cakes, breads and anything that contain eggs. :o(

Whenever, I eat any of these foods, I'll get runny rose, watery eyes, aching body, itchy and reddish eyes etc

All this while I've been taking anti-histamine but the one that works well for me is "Cirrus". So I have to keep some Cirrus with me all the time.

I've consulted the ENT specialist & doctors but all they can say is I have to live with it. Hmmm...most of the foods I love here in my country (Malaysia) contains all the allergens. How am I gonna go through all this?

At the moment, for us, I think, the best way is to keep away from these foods. We must drink lots of water to flush out the "allergens" from our body as fast as we can. For me, I have to take at least 2 liters of water daily.

But I strongly believe one day there be a real cure for allergy. There should be a way on how to CONTROL OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FROM OVERREACTING TO harmless allergens. Our immune system and our heartbeat are not within our control but I've heard someone practicing Meditation who can control his hearbeat. Perhaps one day we may be able to put a stop to our overracting immune system.

Hope this help. Good Luck. Bye

you bet it is, now stop eating them
