Suggest Treatment For Allergy To Fruits And Nuts
I have been allergic to fruits and nuts for over 20 years now. I am tired of not being able to eat them, with how beneficial they are and how yummy they are. I get what has been called herpes of the mouth and have gone into anifilactic shock after eating an entire bowl of strawberries. I get sores in my mouth that hurt and my throat closes up if I eat too much. What can I take so I CAN eat these things?

Hi,
Food or Nuts allergy can be diagnosed only on the basis of detailed history taking and thoroughly clinical examination by an expert.
Although there are laboratory allergic testing of food is being done nowadays but none of them is reliable clinically and also adds extra cost to the patient.
The best way to cure allergy is to avoid contact of that particular allergen here in your case that particular fruit or Nut.
However there are very good medicines like epinephrine,steroids, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers are available in market to combat allergic symptoms.
Consult dermatologist or allergic specialist for further advise.
Thanks.
