Guest guest Posted December 17, 2000 Report Share Posted December 17, 2000 Carol, That is the problem. She pretty much gets by on junk. She does have a weight problem, not severe but some, and doesn't know what to do. She has pretty much given up. Next time I see our doctor I'm going to ask him if I can take her to see some kind of specialist since we have health insurance again. Thank you all for your replies. I wondered myself sometimes if she was fooling but this last time her throat even swelled after eating some carrot. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She complained in about 5 minutes of her throat feeling like it was swelling shut. We had her drink some Colloidal Silver hoping that would help. I don't know if it did but she did get through it. Please order that book for me if you can. I did a search for it at that site and they said it couldn't be found. Thank you again.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Pam, I would change doctors but first ask him if he has any children and how would he feel if his child was choking and the throat going numb. My throat goes numb also from allergies. A air filtration unit is on my list of things to make my life a little easier. take care kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 This sounds like an anaphylactic shock reaction which is an extreme type of allergy reaction. My ex-husband had this kind of a reaction to kiwi and he felt like his throat was swelling shut. It is a dangerous kind of reaction. The anaphylactic shock (a severe and sometimes fatal allergic response) is rare--less than 5% of the U.S. population exhibits responses such as rash or anaphylactic shock which are indications of food allergies. First a person is intolerant to a food and has no apparent immediate reaction when the food is eaten. Instead the body reacts more quietly, but each exposure leads to less tolerance until at some point the body reaches a breaking point-- the last straw so to speak. - This information is taken from page 6 of the book, Your Hidden Food Allergies Are Making You Fat, by Rudy , MD and D. Deutsch. Inspite of its title, this book would be a good reference for you as it explains how the intestines can be involved in food intolerances and eventual food allergies. We could order it for you or you may be able to obtain it at the Prima Publishing website: www.primahealth.com It was copyrighted in 1998.

We assume this is an allergy too. No one seems to have heard of this before. Our doctor just laughs at her about it. Pam Spokane WA ..
