Have Food Allergies. Feel Food Is Stuck. Scans Clear. Thyroid Inflamed. On Drug. Cannot Eat. Cure For Symptoms?

for many years i have had many diagnosis of allergies and food allergies, GERD, and Hashimotos most recently. for the past 6-7 weeks my "food allergies" seem to be increasingly worse, I feel as if food is stuck etc. Went to the Endo thinking thyroid was inflamed Scans were clear. Went Back to the PCP they said Yup its inflamed and gave me a drug that contains allergens so i cant take it. Waiting for GI next tuesday and I have to call and get an allergist appt. tomorrow. Foods i have eaten even the past few weeks are getting stuck or causing inflamation to my throat or tongue and tingeing like around the mouth etc. I have used both Mouthwash and Childrens advil (1tsp) and they help relieve the symptoms but i still can not eat ANYTHING. I have lost 23 lbs in the past 2 months and I feel like giving up? any suggestions on how to relive any symptoms until I can get to the GI and allergist? ---food allergies are Soy, Wheat, Corn, Codfish, Clam and Mushroom. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
If the allergy is to a particular food then avoidance of that particular food may help. Since there is significant weight loss a complete examination is required to arrive at the exact cause of the problem.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
