Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description possibility of food allergy (especially mushrooms) is more.
Best treatment for this is elimination of suspected food.
For confirmation you need to get done
1. Food allergy testing
2. Stool microscopic examination for eosinophilia.
3. Serum IgE level.
If any of these is positive then possibility of food allergy is more.
So please let me know if you had all these tests done or not.
Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs is useful in food allergy.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.


No need to eat mushrooms for the test.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern.
No need to eat mushrooms for the test.
You simply go to the laboratory and get done stool microscopic examination.
Give blood for food allergy testing and serum IgE level.
And your current episode might be due to mushroom like protein from some other food stuff.
Normally, high protein foods like eggs, mushrooms, non vegetarian are more allergic. These foods contain more protein and most of the food allergy is due to proteins. So protein which is present in mushrooms will definitely present in some other food stuff and you might ate it and had similar kind of reaction.
So get done food allergy testing.

two questions...
1. How long would the violating protein remain in my blood or stool after an occurrence to be detected by these tests.
2. Is there a specific over the counter antihistamine like Benadryl that you might recommend in the event of a re-occurrence or to minimize it's impact?
Thanks...
