Here's one: would you beleive I'm allergic to steak...?

[Musicloverof2]

I believe it cuz I'm a patient that my allergies cause a difficult patient cuz I'm allergic to everything under the sun and I also have a disease which causes me to be allergic to my own immune system when I break out with hives with no known Factor so I am on allergy shots and xolair

I feel your pain on that one. I have always loved a good steak, but since developing GORD/GERD I am petrified of even putting it in my mouth. These illnesses are awful when they get you

Guess what...

I can eat steak. After it's cooked. The Allergens are destroid during cooking.

I keep away from the smoke...

Same with vegetables and fruits...

and... about the peanuts...

Like people with peanuts could be lethal

Like me with Almonds could kill me (only two or three)...

Last year my friend died after an attack was too hard on his lungs...

Just out of curiosity, where you bitten by a tick sometime before developing your allergy to meat? Researchers have recently shown a link for many people. My mother was bitten by a tick, developed a (luckily fairly) mild case of Lime fever, and about 9 months later was having horrendous reactions to even the smallest amounts of beef. That was about 24 years ago. The allergy has persisted, although she can eat a very small amount of bison -- I don't think she's had a total of 12 ounces. she's so ultra-cautious.

good luck!

My allergies are cause by "twisted" antibodys resulting in identifying normal substances as dangerous like viruses. I was born with it.
