What Causes Food Allergy After Having Vaccination?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Oct 2014
Question: I received vaccinations (smallpox, 3 step anthrax, not sure what else) in the military before my first deployment that caused me to have an abundant amount of food allergies. I am allergic to all fruits and vegetables and the plants they grow on. I had to go to the grocery store and bring different types of fruits and veggies in so the doctor could make me a specialized test, and it proved I am allergic to all of them. I brought pineapple, grapes, strawberries, banana, apples, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, ect. I got a facial made of fresh cucumber and found out I am topically allergic to it too; I broke out all over my face and neck and was super itchy. Is there any way to detox or reverse this?

I had no allergies prior to these vaccinations. My brother also has no allergies.

Hi XXXXXXX myself Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar. It is not very common to have allergy after vaccination but possibility is there. And you have diagnosed it with allergy testing to. Now a days good treatment is available for allergy. Options are

2. Immunotherapy in the form of sublingual or subcutaneous. In these gradually increasing dose of allergens are given and thus desensitization is achieved.
