Allergists Debunk 11 Food Allergy Myths | Debunked 
Наука
When I was a kid I forgot my lunch so my school gave me a PBJ. When I told them I was allergic they told me to not be so difficult and just “scrape it off.” They wouldn’t let me call my mom for her advice/to bring a safe lunch either. People are pretty uninformed about food allergies, so I’m really glad this video exists.
I have had similar experiences. I'm very allergic to milk and when I tell food service people (chefs, servers, etc) they are often like, "oh, don't worry, there's just a little bit of butter in it." Yeah, that's not how that works.
@@Chattepliee yeah my brother is allergic to milk too and they do this to him all the time! He hasn’t gone to a restaurant without immediately visiting an ER in years.
@@Chattepliee Thar is because dairy allergy is super rare and people with lactose intolerance often say they are allergic to dairy, So most people when you say you are allergic to dairy assume you have lactose intolerance in which case, just a little bit of butter is probably not going to hurt. That is one reason having a genuine dairy allergy is worse than something like peanuts.
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO That itself is a problem as intolerance can be extremely severe, not just a bit of gas. I was born totally lactose intolerant and would suffer badly to any dairy, cheese included. So many think only old people have it and only a tiny bit.
Bro were they trying to kill you??!?! That's insane!!! I wasn't allergic to peanuts as a child, although I did develop it later, but growing up I had friends who were and heard stories. People have different amounts they can tolerate and the severity of reactions can differ, but I know contact can be more than enough. As a matter of fact, when I started to suspected I'd become allergic to peanuts, I just smelled some one time and less than a half hour later I had a reaction similar in severity as if I had eaten it. That mess can be extremely dangerous, I'm actually angry at the administration at your school, that could've ended so badly and they'd be completely responsible 😡😡😡
I was in a Stanford Pediatric study sponsored by a company trying to prove that their subcutaneous-injected drug lessened allergic reactions. As part of the study, I received free allergy therapy(went from reacting to 144mg to tolerating over 2000mg!), took multiple breathing tests(having an allergy makes you more likely to have asthma, which makes allergic reactions more dangerous), and got an innumerable amount of injections and blood draws. As a person who cringes at anything injury, blood, or horror related, it brought me a lot of confidence to know that I overcame my fear of needles(as long as I don’t look while its inserted), and I know that blood draws don’t actually hurt that bad lol. I now eat 3 Reese’s pieces a day as a way to keep my tolerance up, so if I eat something with peanuts or traces of peanuts, I won’t react. However, many people aren’t as lucky to be as healthy and tolerant as I am, and so I make it my business to be an advocate for allergies as much as I can. Please always inform others of allergens in baked goods you make, and never share food with others, especially little oblivious children, without asking their parents.
We’ve been giving a daily peanut with breakfast to our son for the past year, and recently started an after school peanut butter cookie too. He was treated for a severe peanut allergy when very little, and figured this was the best way to keep his tolerance up :). So far so good!
My son had wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis. Took ages to diagnose. But he has grown out of it.
Man I wish my doctor recommended me 3 Reese's cups every day! That's gotta be the easiest medical recommendation to follow.
@@jonathanlittle3751 3 Reese’s Pieces. You know, the tiny ones? I cant even eat one peanut butter cup 🥲
@@rachelplummer2668 maybe one day? I mean reeses pieces are bomb too.
My cousin actually outgrew his peanut allergy, almost died as a kid eating a pack of peanuts at day care. He got tested at 18 and was told he wasn't anymore and immediately ran and got a Reese's PB cup and had his EpiPen at the ready just in case but nope, he's good to go now
I wanted to say this as well! I have read 25% of children outgrow peanut allergies, but that there is nothing known that a person can do to increase their odds.
I outgrew mine at age 19, when the smell stopped giving me crippling migraines. Went to a doctor and got tested to find no reaction, but they still insisted I avoid peanuts for life. Screw that I ran put and tried Thai food for the first time! I still had my epipen standing by.
might be that he can have processed peanuts. my boyfriend cant have like the whole nut (lmfao), but when its been processed into either oil, smooth peanut butter, or candy he is able to eat it. chunks of nuts are a no go. i would love to know why this is, because im allergic to tree fruit (hives, swelling, itchy/burning/swollen throat and tongue), but when they’ve been cooked the chemistry changes enough so that i can eat them. so i cant have fresh tree fruit, only cooked ones. perhaps the nut thing is similar to this?
@@heehoopeenut2579 as a child I was tested allergic also to cheese, but one day I tried to eat a bit of pizza because I love cheese so much. And I also discovered I can eat “cooked” cheese but not fresh cheese. So processed ones like cheese flavored snacks are also okay.
@@heehoopeenut2579 thank go’s I’m not the only one that’s has this happen to them! Every body just thinks I hate peanuts.
Then why they didn't mention those?
I wouldn't rely on Benedryl for mild anaphylactic reactions if epi-pens didn't cost a months rent.
exactly. this country's healthcare system is such a joke.
It’s crazy that is cost that much where ever you are. That’s just awful to charge an arm and leg for a life threatening condition
Where? Here it's free if you need it.
Yeah it's about $600 in the US. And considering it's limited shelf life, it's not financially reasonable for most people to keep on hand. I used to get them when traveling for about $25 a decade ago. From what I hear they are still reasonably priced in Canada and the UK so it feels like the dramatic price hike is purely greed based.
@@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart I'm the US. Where are you? Maybe I'll move there instead 😄.
I'm here on Ludwig's past stream and I'm confused
Why is this in ludwig's past streams playlist?
Hmm, I don't remember this Ludwig stream
Why is this video included in ludwig's past stream playlist
why is this in ludwig's past stream playlist
why is this in ludwig's past streams playlist? LOL
Got here from Ludwigs vods playlist
Yo, I missed this stream. Idk why, but YT didn't notify me that luggage would be live :(
Allergies are no joke and more people need to watch this video because man, some people think I can just remove the carrots from a dish and still eat it because "you're not eating it directly" :I
Also if my boyfriend has eaten almonds or hazelnuts he can't breathe on me because that makes my throat start itching and I start coughing because it swells a little, it's very scary..He's the only one who doesn't question me when I say I can't be standing close to someone who had eaten either of those things.
More people should watch this video for sure.
Yeah! I'm allergic to cinnamon and some people are like "Well this was cooked on the same plate as cinnamon rolls but it's not them so you're fine-" Like no. That little bit of oil/residue/whatever will still affect me.
@@americaroleplayer I hate that
Ohh I totally get this too. This happens to me too, but with dairy.
Actually, in school when I was 9yo my main teacher tried to "prove" I was lying for attention and almost forced me to eat something with milk on it. Thankfully I was well aware for the danger and didn't try it, I would have died there! I have had many people not getting how dangerous it is and it's so scary thinking someone will throw me milk just to harm me. In the school, my classmates used to throw me cheese balls and also put cheese crackers in my desk and all kind of stuff like that.
My daughter is allergic to pork and beef... pizza "just pick off the pepperoni".. grandpa will make breakfast, scrambled eggs after makes bacon in same pan... I kinda wish everyone had one allergy to just one thing so they'd understand.
My mom has coeliac disease. Restaurants are a nightmare for her.
@@americaroleplayer yes it depends on the sensitivity of what you’re allergic to.
Thank you for these explanations my mother and my doctor disagree over whether I'm allergic to fish and shellfish. He says I am and my mother says I'm not because I just throw up and sometimes get hives that's not a real allergy that's insensitivity according to her. Luckily my doctor has made sure that I am carrying an EpiPen even though I've never had anaphylactic shock, just in case. The fact that he prescribed the EpiPen made her think that maybe there's a slight chance he might have been right. It's nice to know my doctor is taking good care of me I've seen several doctors on here who are not allergy specialist saying that vomiting is not an allergy reaction.
Okay, this might help:
Any allergy can (at any moment) become threatening and be like anaphylaxis and close your airways.
Getting hives and vomiting it's just the beginning and sometimes can stop at it. But one day your immune system may be more sensible and react worse.
I'm just hoping your mother never had tried and never tries to give you shellfish.
I'm extremely anaphylactic to milk protein, therefore I can't eat or touch any dairy. And in school it was even worst, I couldn't be in the same room with dairy because hives and itchiness would start.
Hey: throwing up and hives are an anaphylactic reaction. Your mom is wrong, and abiding her thinking can kill you.
Maybe your mom is trying to kill you 😂
I realized I had a shellfish allergy after eating shrimp in wonton soup and becoming very ill, vomiting etc, then I ate calamari another time and the inside of my throat got very itchy and my lips swelled, which according to my doctor was mild anaphylaxis. He said if I continued eating shellfish (crustaceans, mollusks, cephalopods) that it could get worse and my throat could swell shut, cutting off my airway, so I would need epinephrine in that case. Do not keep eating foods you're allergic to. Hives are an allergic reaction.
My family is good about not trying to get me to eat it, mum just didn't believe it was a real allergy, she thought I made up the allergy thing to get out of eating something she figured I didn't like, especially since I never have trouble with canned tuna (I've met others like that, can't eat fresh tuna but canned is fine). The problem I've had is restaurants. A ramen place used fish broth in my chicken ramen, the cook insisted it would be fine even though I was allergic. I smelled the fish broth so didn't eat it. Another the waiter told me a sauce had chopped mushrooms but I think it was calamari because I ended the day with nasty hives. I have become very very picky about Asian restaurants.
Ludwig has really changed
Why is this in the ludwigs vod playlist lol 😂 ?
this is what I mean when i say Ludwig has changed😔
Ever since he became two women, I stopped watching 😔
Ludwig brought me here
Glad to hear the point around exposure to allergens. I had a coworker once who went to visit a friend and, being extremely allergic to nuts, the friend made sure the cake they baked was absolutely nut-free. Afterward, my coworker collapsed on the street, lost strength in the legs and had to use her Epi-pen. Turns out that prior to baking the nut-free cake, her friend may have baked a cake including nuts using the same pan. The doctor warned them that even after washing, allergens can linger in cookware. Please be extra careful when cooking/baking for people with allergies.
That is a super severe allergy to have such a strong reaction to small traces.
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO yes she is severely allergic, whenever she visited our office we were asked to make sure we didn’t have snacks or packs of nuts lying around
Wow!
Dang...I'll keep that in mind
A lot of allergens can't be deactivated. So they have to be actually removed by washing and washing and washing. I have to be a perfectionist when my boyfriend has eaten something I am allergic to and I do the dishes to make sure no allergen remains on the dishes.
Ludwig looks a little different in here
Damn Ludwig went all in with this stream
I wish I could consult one of these two knowledgeable specialists. I developed food allergies as an adult.
Can we also bring up the fact that you can have a severe anaphylactic reaction without any hives? Apparently this is something even some medical professionals don't understand and consequently they won't take you seriously because you don't have hives.
I know a guy allergic to cats, and his face swells up, but he doesn't get hives, so I'm sure it's possible. I get allergy-like reactions with migraines, difficulty breathing, and hives, but since antihistamines don't help, it's not considered an allergy. It was diagnosed as "multiple chemical sensitivity," for me, but half my healthcare team say that's valid, and the other half says that's a fake condition and it's all in my head. It's not easy getting help.
@@joylox or "just stress"
Same here, I go straight into anaphylaxis without ever getting any hives whatsoever. I have never had hives as a reaction to anything in my life so far, yet carry 2 epiPens at all times. My consultant was Dr. Radcliff at the RTNE Hospital in London and apparently I'm "lucky" enough to be among the 2% of all allergy patients worldwide to have a reaction this quick and this severe. But never hives. In fact, I had to google what they even look like to be sure.
This! I show no signs of visable swelling or hives. I get a cold sweat, go pale and can't talk because my throat is closing.
@@joylox I get histamine reactions with my migraines too. It took a while of playing around with dosage and different meds to find out what helps it. For me it ended up being a combination of a nasal steroid and second generation antihistamine as part of acute treatment, and then using the nasal steroid daily as well.
Loved this ludwig stream
This VOD is sweet
I have a shellfish allergy and I desperately can’t wait until a treatment is available to cure this allergy… I am always worried about cross-contamination when I go out to eat and it’s a pain to always remember to carry my epi-pen (although grateful to have one since I know so many can’t!)
What's epi pen?
@@hausofluzon the medication you inject a person with when they experience an anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction
@Dmimima That's what I worry about too when eating out is cross contamination.
I have a shellfish allergy too, but I've found taking antihistamine an hour before eating helps me deal with vapours from other people's food quite well. As they say, it's not a cure or replacement for an epi-pen, but it does give me extra warning time and prevents the itches from shellfish vapours.
They'll eventually succeed with that. The main hold up is that unlike many other allergies, people with food allergies are much more likely to go into anaphylaxis with even highly diluted amounts of the relevant allergens.
One of the issues is that there was medical advice to avoid things like peanuts early in life, but that just caused an uptick in allergies to peanuts as the bodies were never exposed until the immune system was a bit more developed.
did ludwig put this accidentally on his playlist
Thanks Ludwig
You're the first one to comment about lud
Thank you for this. I've had people tell me they've never heard of someone having a reaction to the smell of shellfish even when I'm gasping for air in front of them. I've had doctors say my blood test say I'm not allergic even when they've seen me go into anaphylaxis. I've even heard the very disdainful "it's just your upper airway swelling" by ER nurses and doctors.
My allergist always emphasizes that we go by what we experience in real life and that the allergy tests are just to help with diagnosing. Tests are definitely not the be all end all. That would drive me nuts if an ER doc was claiming upper respiratory swelling wasn't an allergic reaction.
But…the upper airway swellling is LITERALLY ANAPHYLAXIS.
I have an allergy to cucumbers.
@@labaccident2010 Exactly! It absolutely is but they brush it off as if I don't need my upper airway to breathe. I suppose they look at it as "oh we don't have to intubate" but it comes off really condescending and almost like they are mocking me for coming to the ER. And mind you, I'm a nurse. These people were my coworkers.
@@goddessgenesis 😂😂😂 why wouldn’t they think you just might need your air way to breathe air???? Like air one of the essentials to life. Got me thinking what do they even be learning in school ?
@@Dorthy0302 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ apparently med school teaches you less than ems and nursing courses 🤣🤣🤣
My experience in healthcare, working various levels of jobs, many doctors are full of themselves, arrogant, and love talking down to the very staff they rely on 🙃
I found out I’m allergic to my dog after feeling super itchy and then getting that graffiti style reaction on the skin. I did what any dog owner would. I took a Zyrtec once a day for a whole year. Eventually I stopped and then I became immune to my dog. I was surprised my body was able to build an immunity to my dog but we both chillen now. Lmao
You are immune because your avatar is your dog. That keep your tolerance high. /s
I too just kept treating allergy reaction to my dog and eventually it got better.
lmao same. after my first dog died, I went a couple years without exposure. then adopted my dog now and my face swelled up like a balloon 😅
Are you sure it was the dog, or was it something he came in contact with? Were you tested???
I had a blood test when I was little to check to see if I was still allergic to peanuts. They said no. Turns out they were very very wrong 😬😬😬😂
food allergies can develop later on in life
Oh no :(
Well, I'm glad you're okay now
@@adamchristley6050 that happened to one of my older sisters. She developed several food insensitivity as she got older.
Why is this in Ludwig's Past stream Playlist ???
Best luggage stream 2021
loved this stream Ludwig
I love the "right now" and "at this time" phrases. It sounds like technology's getting close to improving some of these problems.
Sounds like it but they're not working on it
It's cause theirs is the newest widely acknowledged medical specialization, or one of the newest area of medicine at least. They still have humbleness. They still know science is not a monolith. Surgeons and ob-gyns and a lot of others are lazy AF because their specialties are older.
This is a weird Ludwig vod
this was one of the best streams thanks lud
man ludwig looks and sounds really different after the youtube deal, huh
My kid is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (only one in the family with any food allergies) and successfully the oral exposure therapy to peanuts. It's really a game changer -- he still won't be able to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but he does not react to micro doses due to cross contamination (ie don't need to worry as much about foods that say "may contain peanuts). His baseline dose is 4 peanuts every day.
Currently doing the same therapy (not FDA approved but under a medical protocol) for cashews and pistachios. He's 5 and has managed the treatments super well - strongly recommend it for anyone struggling with an allergy.
Super interesting to read. I think have a tree nut allergy but have always been able to eat almonds and hazelnuts. Any other tree nut causes a stronger reaction. My theory is that I've been exposed to more of the the almonds and hazelnuts over the years. Not sure though but it's one explanation!
I hope this keeps helping your kid and your family!
Good stream Ludwig
So glad you mentioned shellfish allergies from vapour. I react to just being in the same room as an open tin of crabmeat if it's not well ventilated. I always take an antihistamine before eating out in case shellfish have been prepared near my food. I've found that this helps me tolerate shellfish vapours much better than if I don't take anything. It's not a replacement for an epi-pen, but it means I can eat at the same table as friends eating shellfish without itching and sweating and turning bright red.
I think I might consider your "taking the "antihistamine before".
I was born allergic to dairy and when I was little and in the last few months I've reactive to people having dairy near me.
But when I was little I was even more sensitive. My parents always tell how when we were traveling by car, sometimes I started coughing and being itchy and they say always, when they passed some cars, there was a milk trailer some cars in front. Mind you, this was with air conditioner.
@@MLarce9 That's a serious allergy!
What type and dose of antihistamine are you taking?
@@binkao2938 I just take an over-the-counter non-drowsy hayfever and allergy pill; whatever I have around at the time.
For me, fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg works a little better than the loratadine 10mg or or cetirizine hydrochloride 10mg, but all help minimise the symptoms of shellfish vapour exposure, so long as I take them at least 30-40 minutes before exposure.
I needed to go to the hospital back in July bc my grandma was cooking shrimp in a small, poorly ventilated kitchen and I had anaphylaxis from it... Thankfully my grandma lives nearby a really great hospital, so I got medical care real quick fortunately
I didn't had an epipen at the time, unfortunately epipens are ridiculously expensive in my country, but after this my mom bought an epipen for me... She also had a great discount for being a nurse (that discount for being a healthcare professional is a thing in my country)... It was still hella expensive but at least it didn't costed a kidney for it
So happy Lud decided to upload this VOD… I was looking for this!!!
ludwig adding this to his playlist to prove that lactose intolerance isn’t genetic
Fr?
This was very insightful and interesting. Can you do this again but have them talk about seasonal allergies as well not just food
As a former medic, you shouldn't say Benadryl doesn't treat allergic reactions in the description. The doctors clearly state it shouldn't be the go to treatment during anaphylaxis, but can be used to treat allergic reactions. Please clarify your description as this may cause others to spread misinformation about Benadryl. Thanks!
This video had a lot of low-key misinformation. Like vomiting doesn't help. Of course it helps if caught on early and can expel potential allergens.
Yeah, Benadryl is rlly helpful for people like me who don’t have life threatening allergic reactions, but the symptoms can distract/take away from my daily life. I ate a cookie that touched macadamia nuts the other day and it is convenient to have chewable Benadryl pods on me in those situations, so the reaction goes down.
There’s a reason you are a “Former” medic. Stay away from me and my family.
@@PleasantDriveMusic REALLY stay away.
@@BillyHeany That isn't true at all. That's what they do for things like poisonings (AND ONLY IN SOME CASES, LISTEN TO POISON CONTROL) but for allergens they're immunity-related to vomiting will almost certainly do nothing to help.
Really a lot to learn here, thank you! I'm allergic to shellfish and every time I eat Chinese it's like playing Russian roulette!
Totally know what you mean when it comes to Chinese food 😂
I don’t know what you mean by that…
@@m.l3483 Lots of Chinese food has fish oils that are used to cook food so they could react even if there isn’t any fish or shellfish in them. That would be my guess anyway
@@cjrtoph Oyster sauce.
@@m.l3483 Some places uses Oyster sauce in their food, also some Chinese buffets have crab legs, which is boiled aka the particles is airborne.

Cows milk is the #1 kids food allergy.
Schools in 2021: every kid needs 2 milks a day and NO dairy alternatives. Also no peanuts within the next town of the school.
A couple years ago I took my kids to the free lunch program a couple of times at the school during the summer. Our school district was ridiculous- the main food always contained dairy (usually cheese), there were no alternatives and only dairy milk to drink. Out of the whole meal, my "severely allergic to dairy" son could only eat a small sad bag of carrots.
@@jwrightgardening It sucks that there weren't alternative options for your son. I would imagine it's really cost prohibitive to have special dietary options for a free program, though.
@@doingslothstuffs not for you maybe but my kids absolutely were given 2 cold white milks per day at the height of homeschooling during the pandemic. That's 4 milks a day clutter my fridge which I ended up dumping because I'M severely allergic to dairy and my kids didn't want the milk either, nor did anyone want to take this free milk.
Also, just because your milk doesn't need to be refrigerated doesn't mean it's not "real" milk. It means it's ultra pasteurised. It's still 100% DAIRY milk.
I would have GLADLY taken your ultra pasteurised milk which I could have stored in the pantry rather than dumping all those cold milks.
For a ton of people it is lactose intolerance the kids have not allergy to cow's milk.
And people SUCKS at knowing what they actually have.
@@jwrightgardening dairy or lactose?
Cheese (hard cheeses see wheels of cheese kind of) does not have lactose but is a dairy product.
I ask this because too many times I see people who think they can not eat cheese when they can.
Parents should watch this specially someone who grow up with elders who give false information
I have a citrus allergy, this was definitely great information, especially when ppl are cooking or eating the thing ur allergic to, I’ve been places where a person starts to peel an orange or citrus fruit and I immediately get an itchy throat, coughing, can’t breathe etc…
This is such an amazing video for allergy awareness. I actually knew all of the questions due to experience. I've met a lot of people who don't realize how serious an allergy could be. Thank you for raising allergy awareness.
Epic stream lud
We had a teacher staff member say she was allergic to citrus. Even the smell of an orange would give her a reaction. So the school had to ban oranges for the kids, and a list of stuff for us workers including lemon scented cleaning supplies, Sprite, mountain dew, caprisuns, certain fruits, and so on. I dont know
Idk i know a girl Who is so allergic to peanuts that she can't eat most chocolade because they are made in the same factory as nuts. The food had no real contact with nuts, biiiig factory but just the sent and tiny dust particles is enough.... :\ aiii so crazy.
Changing the diet for all the children in the school for one teacher is ridiculous
@@Livetoeat171 It’s literally just limiting a single food item. They don’t allow nuts at lots of schools either. Is it less ridiculous to let the teacher go into anaphylactic shock and deal with possible legal liability or to fire the teacher for having an allergy??
There was a kid that was extremely allergic to a few foods. We had food day at school and I was substituting in that class. This kid didn’t feel comfortable being in the room with the food while I was there so the teacher next door took him in since she was very familiar with his allergies. This is why I don’t bring any kind of foods with peanuts to work. A lot of times unless it’s a very severe allergy the teacher won’t let me know.
@@Livetoeat171 it may seem that way, but if it’s a life or death situation then you have to. If I was severely allergic to something and a workplace refused to make accommodations for me I would quit on the spot.
People can’t afford epipens caz they’re priced ridiculous now
There are some alternatives too that also have epinephrine but without the name brand! I think they might be a little bit cheaper.
So interesting. My mom who was a bit of a chocolate addict started having a sensitivity to it in her 60s. Was she going to stop eating it? Of course not. It triggered an asthma attack so she sat at the table with chocolate in one hand and the inhaler primed and ready in the other.
I'm like that with chocolate and I think that with me it's because I have ADHD so I kind of self-medicate with chocolate because I can't have medication. Maybe for your mom it's literally regulating her attention and brain chemistry problem.
Wonder is she has a nickel allergy? Chocolate has a high nickel content
Allergic to apples, shellfish and onions, intolerant to soy and cheese. Yay! 😂
This is very informative, thank you ladies 😊
I thought it was just me! I’m also allergic to apples as well as peaches, plums, pears and mango but this is only when I bite into one not if it’s found already blended into something. Plus I have an egg, tree nut and shellfish allergy. My most severe allergy is coconut which will practically send me to the ER 😕
@@alexb7699 me too! I only found out it was an allergy recently haha. You just tend to think "must be my weird body"😂😅
@@alexb7699 maybe you are reacting to the pesticides, because they can usually be present on the skin of fruits.
@@sophiejones304 Then anything grown from the ground would cause it.
Mind now you may have an over all latex allergy
I am someone who grew out of crazy amounts of allergies over the past few years. I started with no allergies but around age 26, I developed extreme allergies to dust and some other foods like shellfish and nuts. Then I started taking antihistamines almost daily. My life revolves around taking it and it was miserable. Then 2 years later all that stopped for about a year. Then it all came back. Luckily I’ve been allergy free for a year again, but my case has stumped so many doctors and allergists. I am just hoping nothing comes back. I’m 32 now and trying to live the healthiest lifestyle I can.
Could be the area you live at as well, since changes in the weather and environment can spark up more reactions. It makes it harder for most Doctors and Allergists to tell since they would likely test you in a sanitized safe environment where you won't have much of a reaction.
Wow! I had lots of misconceptions about food allergies. Thank you for educating me!
My mom developed an allergic reaction to avocado. I was so pissed at my brother when we were at a Mexican restaurant and I kept reminding them make sure to tell the waitress she was allergic. She didn’t seem to listen. But I made sure the waitress knew. It’s one thing I make sure anytime we eat Mexican and when eating snacks since a lot of foods use avocado oil.
All my reactions have landed me in the ER. The suffocation, the throwing up, the severe hives... Tree nuts are the worst.
Like many others, thanks for going over the shellfish allergy. When I was super young, like maybe 5 or so, I couldn’t be around shellfish, especially shrimp (shrimp is my mortal enemy). Just a whiff of it would making me vomit and gasp for air, and I’m constantly checking ingredients to avoid it. Even when my parents can’t tell if something has shellfish in it, I can tell immediately. It wasn’t until recently that my parents believed me when I told them I was allergic. My family loves seafood and kept saying I was making it up and said I just didn’t like seafood. They said my brother was the only one that had a legit allergy to peanuts because he broke out in hives and stuff. Whenever I’m around seafood, or my parents are cooking/eating it, I have to shut myself in my room, they have to air out the house and they’re not allowed to use the microwave or oven to reheat their food.
I'm glad that at least finally they believed you. Is important to listen

great stream ludwig, really enjoyed this one
Was looking for this comment 🤣
Definitely the best one since he moved to RUclips
We have been removed from the playlist. Sadge

Love me or hate me? Kiss me or kill me? Dear darling PLEASE do something to me..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tree-nuts and sesame are my allergies. Apparently very common xD
Soy protein is my intolerance. It's completely different from my allergies.
Can you elaborate on what your symptoms are when you eat tree-nuts/sesame vs soy?
That's interesting. I have an intolerance to MSG and MSG boosters (621, 627 & 635); glutamates derived from soy proteins. The pain is excruciating.
I can barely breathe when I have peanuts, i end up vomiting and generally feel terrible.
What makes it worse is that i live in a country where nuts are used a lot on salads and cakes.
As someone who has dealt with both allergies and asthma this was a very helpful and informative video thumbs up 👍. Im allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk(not lactose intolerant many people get that wrong), and shellfish. I was allergic to soy when i was a baby but i still hate the taste of soy milk. My older brother only has seasonal allergies, no food allergies. My younger sister is also allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. My mom suddenly developed a few food allergies when she was 40 but didnt have any before then. My dad has no allergies. I have a few cousins with food allergies and one of them has asthma but i think we both grew out of our asthma. I havent been tested in 5 years so i should probably do that. That is all thank u for listening to my ted talk
Also i hope that someone finds a cure for allergies in the future because it is a major inconvenience when i want to go out to eat with friends which is why i prefer to eat homemade food
Thank you for this information! I don't suffer from any allergies, but I have friends who do and this is most helpful.
I'm super glad folks are raising awareness about this topic, I've got eczema and in terms of allergies I've got hayfever (which is seasonal for me). But I e grown out of my condition where it used to be severe to now being able to control and live a very nice life with the condition.
Ever since Ludwig moved to RUclips, he completely rebranded with a whole new cast! I miss the old Ludwig.
Ludwig is looking a little different
My mom had to keep a food diary for me when I was 3 because I kept getting sick and it turned out to be an allergy I developed to mammalian meat after being bitten by a tick on a camping trip. It's known as alpha-gal syndrome and it's not common or well-understood (affecting 1-2% of the US population). The majority of my allergic reactions have been to cross-contamination but they are definitely not mild. I'm now 28, living as a vegan with a vegan husband. Haven't had an allergic reaction in about 5 years because of how carefully I avoid it.
To anyone who messes with vegans for fun, just know you can get charged if I get hospitalized. And I would absolutely press charges. 🙌
I naturally have a pork allergy and it totally sucks, so I feel you. The things that people put meat and meat byproducts in are unreal. Do we really need lard in bread??
I'm like... Polar opposite of you! Lol I've allergies to fruits and veggies! (realistically, I'm allergic to anything that had been pollenated.)
And I honestly am so glad that you have people in your life who support you like this. 👏👏👏
@@Zeydarchist how are you alive if you are allergic to everything pollinated???? Does it not include leaves?? Is it all angiosperms?? I have so many questions and concerns
@@Whit-wy2ow HONESTLY??? your guess is as good as mine. I've been going off strictly meats and processed food and multivitamins for years now. Turning 30 in January, so I'm as surprised as you lol
As a result I'm INCREDIBLY sensitive to sunlight and seasonal weather shifts... So like... Spring and summer are hands down, the worst times for me to exist.
@@Zeydarchist I'm shook! That sounds awful
Very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
Very informative :) people often get confused when I tell them I have a dairy allergy not lactose intolerance. Eating out at restaurants can be extremely difficult.
Ahh I’m sad that I’m not the only one that has had to explain this!! I have a script now when people try to correct me:
“No, I’m not intolerant, I’m allergic. There’s a difference. I get hives, which my doctor says is a histaminic response.”
Can’t really argue with that!
Nice stream Ludwig!
You know something, I just found out that I have food sensitivities to salicylates (like in tea, spices, and a lot of kinds of fruit). Possibly some other food chemicals, like amines and glutamates, but I'm not up to the challenges yet. The thing is, the symptoms that the dietitian clicked on to were: frequent colds, frequent hayfever, sinus infections, worsening asthma and angioedema. That may not be an official allergy, but it sure as heck felt like one. For years. I went to see an actual immunologist at the hospital (he had very nice shoes), and asked him if the really scary face swelling I was getting in the middle of the night could be related to my dentist telling me to stop rinsing after I brushed my teeth, and could I be allergic to it, and he told me definitely not, because I was getting these scary reactions 4 hours after I'd had anything to eat. Do you know how many years of not-crummy life I would have had if he'd bothered to mention that sometimes food _intolerances_ can cause that symptom? That actually, my minty, full of chemical toothpaste may very well have been causing my problems, right along with my tea habit? Intolerances can have more symptoms than tummy aches, you know?
Yes, I have to be careful with just about everything. Thankfully food isn't too bad for me other than dairy and gluten (Did you know gluten intolerance can cause irregular periods? That was the weirdest symptom for me), but I get reactions to a lot of other things. I have to use fluoride free toothpaste, fragrance free everything (unless it's all natural like citrus or mint), especially in laundry soap because if something is washed in Tide, then I wear it, I will get a rash.
As for delayed reactions, I often don't feel the effects of dairy until a day later. Important fact, most allergy pills contain lactose, and I'm okay with taking one a week, but any more than that and I will fee the effects, but since it wasn't immediate, it was hard to know why. I've since switched from prescription allergy meds to Allegra 24 for seasonal/environmental allergies, and it's lactose free.
@@joylox Hugs. That sounds pretty rough.
@@joylox You just said something that had me thinking. I have had an irregular monthly for a significant portion of my life. And I come from a family that eats gluten. So this is something I need to check up on. Thank you stranger.
Steph, it's so frustrating when people discount the seriousness of a "sensitivity". There's a book that you may find helpful by Dr. Doris Rapp called "Is This Your Child." Is an older book but worth a search. She's a research doctor specializing in allergies. Good luck to you.
Excellent video. I learned many new things. The two speakers do very well together. I hope they make more videos.
Thank you so much for this important public service. The general lack of awareness about food allergies in the world has almost killed me numerous times in my 66 years up to now. When I was four I was given my first skin test for allergies. I went into anaphylactic shock from the test and had to live in an oxygen tent for a month.
I almost never eat outside of my home now that I am retired. I read every food label three times to make sure something is safe for me. If somebody offers me something home made I just say no thank you. And when I am out skiing in the backcountry I never, ever accept any food or water from anybody else's hands. I don't even hand anybody my cell phone to take a picture, even if they assure me they have not been eating nuts. Needless to say, nobody is allowed to open any container of nuts in my car. I am so sensitive that even if a trace of nut touches my mucous membrane, I will have an anaphylactic reaction.
I have walked out of business meetings because there were nuts in open bowls on the table. I have flatlined in an ambulance. I have been denied epipen in an ER because the doctor accused me of faking it through drug seeking behavior when I was wearing a business suit and eating dinner with clients--WHO FOLLOWED THE AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL--when I got nuts concealed under whipped cream in a DESSERT that was not supposed to have either nuts nor whipped cream after I had already asked specifically if that item contained nuts. I vomited all over the bathroom before the ambulance came, and hauled me out on a gurney in front of a restaurant full of horrified customers. My face looked like a pumpkin. I have been exposed unknowingly more times than I can count, so there is zero possibility that I could even know to fake it.
I carry a purse in order to keep my epipen and inhalers with me at ALL times because my risk is so high. My purse is my lifeline and I never let it become unattached from my body. People say, "Oh, you carry a manpurse." like it's cute or funny. I am obnoxious AF when I explain to them why I carry it. And still, some people just wave it off like it's in my imagination or tell me to toughen up. A waiter in a restaurant once joked, "With extra nuts." as he delivered my meal. I made a scene. There is nothing funny about a life threatening medical condition.
One more point I would like to make in my rant. When we talk about your throat closing, most people have no idea what that actually feels like. When your throat closes due to anaphylaxis, you are in the vacuum of space. You can't feel anything but suddenly, when you try to take in a breath of air, nothing happens. Your airway does not exist. There is an airtight seal over your lungs. It is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced in a life full of close calls with death. Paramedics peeled me off the pavement in a pool of sweat and told me in the ambulance that I was dying just before I lost consciousness.
This is the best information any one has published on the Internet that I have seen. Thank you again!
Some really good information in this video! FYI, not every child will outgrow their cow's milk allergy. I feel like the statistics give some false hope. Most will, but some (like me) will be allergic forever.
Also, food challenges, even in a controlled environment, have high risks. Children have died. It's important to do your research and make the choices that are right for your family.
But I think that the deaths probably have more than just "The challenge went wrong" as a reason behind. Probably the people in charge fucked up. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense
Found out that I developed an allergy to carrots, which bummed me out because I used to buy a bunch of carrots every week. But now that I've figured that one out I have less trouble eating. Just was chalking it up to my body being weird.
Peanuts were my first found allergy, and the most severe. Dairy intolerance the next. Crustacean is the one that I wish I didn't have because sometimes it smells so good. 😕 Seasonal allergies to boot and I get eczema on occasion. Jackpot.
Whoa, carrots is bad, they are often not listed as ingredient when you eat in a restaurant. (almost every kind of clear soup or bouillon has carrots, lots of sauces ect.)
The only food allergy i develloped is bell pepper (i think in english you have different names of the powder and the vegetable, so paprika/bell pepper we call the whole thing paprika no matter the state it is in) and it's the same thing. It's often not listed as ingredient. I even found it as an extract in a caramel sauce once. As a colouring agent under the alias E160c. And i had aPizza cook once try to be fancy and put a lot of it on my quattro formaggi. (4 sorts of cheese, no bell epper listed, so i though i was safe)
And not to forget, Pollen allergies between april and august. At least that's something the Covid situation helped me with as the stricter maks (FFP2 /KN95) filters out pollen. So this spring only my eyes were really not happy.
@@nirfz Yes, sometimes the server has to go ask the cook if there have been carrots involved in the cooking process. When I expect there will be trouble I take an allergy medication before eating to help with possible allergic reaction.
Did not realize how many pre-packaged grocery items have carrot in them. It has been eye opening for sure.
They used paprika extract in caramel for the color I assume? That seems a ridiculous use of paprika. More understandable to use paprika on pizza, but still not good for you as it wasn't listed.
Yes! Masks have been so helpful concerning allergies.
@@RoxanneMarius Exactely.
I got cucumbers as the allergy.
Welcome to odd veggie allergy club
curious on the benadryl thing. as a nurse, I have used 50 mg IV to end anaphlaxis, and in only a few seconds. in fact, benadryl is the protocol drug of choice for anaphylaxis in more than a few hospitals. the capsules also work quite well and quite quickly PR. was giving a patient IV Levaquin once, he didn't know he was allergic. It took him about a minute to get really cyanotic and covered in hives. Benadryl 50 mg IV ended the reaction in under 1 minute.
This was a great stream Ludwig.
Thank you! I really appreciate this video! My dh, myself, and my two children all have Celiac Disease. My two children and I also have eczema and an allergy to soy (hives, tongue swelling). I cannot have cow's milk due to bloating, gas, diarrhea, fatigue, malaise after ingestion. My son couldn't even breast feed because he was so lactose intolerant. He is now fine. I cannot eat raw pineapple because I get hives, throat and tongue swelling. My two kids and I also have a history of asthma. I like how this video showed the links between everything because I was always curious.
Watching while sneezing.
Hi! I love those series, we really learn a lot by watching your series. I wish we had the same in France!
Great vid. I'm interested to know why it is possible to outgrow egg and dairy allergies, but not peanuts? What else comes into the will (or may) and won't categories?
Apparently some people do outgrow peanuts but not that many.
It can go both ways. If it's more of an intolerance or sensitivity, those often onset around puberty. I was 15 when I had to go entirely off of dairy and gluten or else I'd get rashes, upset stomach, and it even affects my mood, making me feel depressed (to the extreme, but I won't go into it). There seems to be a sweet spot where you outgrow some stuff, but you haven't hit the later onset ones. One of my friends could have dairy from ages 8-17 approximately, but before and after that, she couldn't.
all allergists are useless. People outgrow allergies when there are alterations in their gut microbiota. Adults can become allergic due to their gut microbiota. They know this and will still tell you to basically wait and pray for your child to outgrow their food allergies. My son is no longer at risk of anaphylactic shock due to me not taking their advice.
@@codysimpson911 Allergies aren't like food sensitivities. Wtf does being allergic to flowers have to do with your gut??
Or do allergies outside food don't exist lol
@@crazydragy4233 They even say it in the video lol. This dude xd
Omg I remember I was allergic to eggs as a kid. The symptoms weren't life threatening but I think i'd get itchiness/a rash. I was really disappointed because I love eggs so much. I took an allergy test at 16 and eggs weren't listed as an allergen anymore! I was so happy. It's really interesting that this is something you grow out of.
For some, I had severe reaction as a toddler to eggs, the whole rush to hospital kind of reaction I'm now 26 and still have the allergy, Today I had a glass of wine and immediately got super hot, itchy, throat swelling etc went to check the bottle and it had been fined with egg whites...
Great video. Learn't a lot. I want to add that we shouldn't shy away from calling out the BS that people sell and say online. If its not accurate and doesn't work its a fact.
Amazing! I enjoyed listening to this video. I do not have any food allergy but it’s so great to learn more and understand it. We’ve discussed this during my undergrad.
This was fascinating! Thank you for the video. Food allergies aren’t prevalent in my family, extended or otherwise, so it was a huge surprise when my second child had an allergic reaction. He had eczema a few months after birth like his sister (mostly his face and limbs - places he could touch), but his was pretty continuous though the severity came in waves. He’s almost 1 now and we got him tested; he is allergic to peanuts, most tree nuts, wheat, and eggs. His sister, despite being a preemie with some eczema issues mostly on the body, does not have good allergies as of now. Good thing, because she doesn’t really eat as it is. I’m curious what triggers food allergies; it seems like it’s random overall, but food allergies are so much more common now than when I was in school. With our allium-free, lacto-ovo vegetarian diet on top of his allergies, I’m trying to research what I can make as he starts getting into solid foods (it was delayed until we could figure out what to avoid). And we probably won’t eat out as he gets older (not like we eat out much now), though we’re hoping we’ll grow out of some of them.
I've gotten hives from head to toe, my lip inflated, face swelling and still don't know what I'm allergic to... For the hives, i know it came from a new body wash (what ingredient idk). But for my facial swelling, it happened while at a buffet so still unknown. Scary stuff since I've never been allergic to anything supposedly
I often break out into random hives and got an environmental test, reacted to a majority of things. No food allergies though but I have a few intolerances and oral allergy syndrome.
I once got bad hives, from top of head to under toe, with swelling in the joints so bad I could hardly walk. The doctor couldn't figure out why, since it never happened again. The main hypothesis is that it was a delayed reaction from the wasp that stung me a week prior to the hives, as I do react strongly to mosquitoes and other insects. Also I have not been stung by a wasp since. My doctor recommends me making sure I'm not too far from an ER if I do get stung again, in case I get a more sudden severe reaction.
I also sometimes get a little hives. There was a year I had to avoid citrus fruits, because I got swollen lips and hives in my mouth after eating it. After avoiding them for a year I carefully tried again, and there was no reaction. My body is strange sometimes.
At least I'm not allergic to laundry soap, like my grandma. She has to bring her own sheets to the hospital, or she'll get sick. My brother was the lucky one to get that inheritance, just not as severe.
I don‘t have food allergy but severe food sensitivities... kinda sucks
I totally understand the pain of food sensitivities. I have both allergies and sensitivities and the sensitivities are more of a pain than the allergies. People take me seriously when I say avocado could kill me because of my allergy but don't understand that if they accidentally feed me corn, corn syrup, corn starch (one of my sensitivities), I will be stuck being sick in their bathroom for up to 5 hours. No, I won't die but I'll feel like I'm dying that whole time!
This was good. Very informative. Thank you for this.
these women are so smart. thank you for sharing your knowledge
That peanuts theraphy totally worked on me. I was severely allergic to eggs. Any trace of eggs no matter how small it is will make me itch. My doctor literally told me to eat eggs gradually and now I'm not allergic to eggs anymore
That's what us Asians do. Hence, adults don't really have allergies.
I'm allergic to cows milk, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, soya, Sesame seeds, cereals, seeds, beef and beef gelatine, vegetables oil, olive oil, garlic, ginger, dark green vegetables, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, Broccoli, okra, fibre, dairy, tea, coffee, bread, lentils and beans...so I only eat what I can eat 😕

@@BIGGZ_SHAN Don't eat them. It must be very difficult. I wish you the best. First time I hear about broccoli allergy, wow. What does it do? Do you get hives or other problems?
@@Caroline1261 Diarrhea and constapation at the same time and hives, stomach cramps, food allergy pimples and vomiting and nausea.
*People with eczema!!!* Ever since I could remember, I suffered from severe eczema and environmental allergies. I got tested for allergies and stopped eating foods that I was allergic to (peanuts, sesame, and soy). It's been a few years now and my eczema virtually disappeared and I rarely experience it. I HIGHLY recommend getting tested for allergies if you have eczema. It could transform your life like it did mine. :) Now, I'm taking allergy drops (like allergy shots but in oral drop form) to help with my environmental/animal allergies.
wow wait your eczema disappeared once you stop eating what you were allergic to?? I avoid all foods that im allergic to but still have really bad eczema! I wonder if there's possibly something else i'm reacting to or if you just got lucky haha
@@elevenoutof10 There can be many triggers for eczema, like chemical irritants (detergents, beauty products, household cleaners, etc.), weather or working out (I'm prone to eczema flare ups when it's really hot and I'm sweating or in winter when my skin gets super dry), cigarette smoke, fabrics like wool, fragrances, and more! I recommend really researching all the common triggers and seeing if you can reduce those. Like they said, eczema isn't curable, so I'm still prone to flare ups. But I feel very grateful that I discovered my biggest triggers and can stay away from them for the most part. Only took me like 20 years :p haha
A very important topic. I have had an eczema over four years now, and genuinely thought that the reason is a food allergy. I tried avoiding certain foods, but the disease has never gone away. Until this summer when I heard about psychosomatics of an allergic reaction. Maybe a long-time solution for someone except me 🙂
I got allergy injections for seasonal allergies and it’s incredible how well they worked. After 10 years of them I essentially don’t have pollen allergies anymore.
Hopefully treatments for food allergies gets to the same level.
how sure are we about allergies not being curable?
I've had peanut and hay allergies as a kid. severe too. they vanished completely after my appendix burst when i was 11.
can trauma to the body remove allergies? or did i never have had allergies but something else? confusing :)
@@jwhite-1471 Ah. Thanks. I was assuming curable means that it is possible to cure, even if we don't know how yet.
I'd say if something goes away on it's own, then it's safe to assume that we can find a cure. Unlike stuff like necrotic cells or hiv or whatever. Which is still possible, of course, but with a much bigger question mark.
Thanks a lot for sharing this great info🥰. I have been stressing over allergy towards mushroom since i love it so much. Before, i hate to eat any kind of veggies. When i was 18, my family told me that mushroom tasted good and have a lot of goodness. Then i started to eat it like almost everyday. When i was 19, i got hives almost on my whole body and in dec 2020, i got into the emergency room bcause i cant breath well and got swollen all my body. My sister told me to stop eating mushroom and bread. After stop eating both of it, everyting was fine but i still do got the hive eventhough i didnt eat mushroom directly. Just by touching it or eat other food that were cooked with same pan as mushroom were cooked before would make the hive appear on me.
There was a period in the resent past where parents were warned not to give their kids any peanut products. Most parents complied and, oddly enough, or maybe not, people allergic to peanuts spiked considerably.
A lot of members in my family and even distant relatives have severe reactions to peanuts including myself. We carry the anti-Histamines with us at all times. This allergy is a huge problem in India because a LOT of Indian food has peanuts in it. From Namkeen to diner food You never know in which food there is peanuts (Though the Namkeen one is easier to see since nowadays they are printing allergy warning, especially in branded foods like Adayar, A1, and Haldirams. Diner food though is a huge problem) I am also allergic to garlic and soy (We don't cook it at home but I ate out once as a kid and had a huge reaction). Vegetables like Aubringe also cause allergies for me. I can't seem to digest hard proteins like tough lentils and broad beans. I also can't consume glutinous food since it makes my stomach hurt really bad. I had anaphylaxis shock several times from accidental peanut exposure, either from air or consumption (They freshly roast peanuts on the streets in India, and I immediately start reacting) I seem to be allergic to a lot of medications as well, three of them nearly killed me. Since then they first do a test shot then inject me with it. The reactions have also traumatized me to the point now I can't even enjoy food anymore like I did as a kid :(( I am vegetarian and used to eat peanuts and aubergine as a kid. But as I grew up I developed these symptoms, especially lactose intolerance. I know in the west they can customize your food but in India that's not the case.
