Allergie oder Unverträglichkeit: Zwiebeln und Knoblauch

Hi

I have experienced problems after eating garlic, onion and spring onion. It starts with an odd sensation in my mouth, my face puffs up then some time later I have bloating, dashing to the toilet. I also feel drowsy. So far I have kept a note of what I eat, if the symptoms reoccurred when the food was reintroduced. They did. It happens whether or not the food is cooked or raw. I don't have problems if I prepare onions or garlic, it takes affect once it has been ingested. I wondered if anyone has similar reactions to the onion family?

yes my dau-in-law avoids the onion family at all costs because of an allergy.  you should be careful. see an allergist because your reaction could get worse.  my son carries an epi-pen for his allergic reactions to three nuts, fish and others. 

Hallo, das ist Dr. Arora

Ja, es handelt sich um eine allergische Reaktion auf Zwiebeln. Der beste Weg, dies zu verhindern, besteht darin, einen Abstand zu Zwiebeln zu halten. Und am wichtigsten: Lassen Sie einen Allergietest durchführen. Bei diesem Test müssen Sie eine Blutprobe abgeben, und diese Blutprobe wird mit etwa 250 verschiedenen täglich verwendeten Produkten (Nüsse, Mandeln, Weizenmehl, Staub, Luftverschmutzung, Obst oder Gemüse usw.) getestet. Es wird die Allergie gegen verschiedene Produkte zeigen und sogar die Empfindlichkeit Ihres Körpers, ob sie gering oder stark ist, und erst dann können Sie einen Behandlungsplan erstellen.

Hi

Thank you, good point. I've never had many problems with old, other than chocolate as a migraine trigger. . I read labels on everything now, garlic and onion in various forms seem to be added a fair bit to all sorts of foods for flavour.

Hi

Thank you, good advice. I think I could do with getting screened. Other than chocolate triggering migraines I'd never had problems with reactions to foods before. My daughter is dairy intolerant. So perhaps I'm a later starter with a latent history.

the thing to remember is that allergies can just start out of the blue.  plus they can leave just as fast. my son has asthma so he has to be expecially careful of what he eats.  best of luck to you.
