ok.. now a helpful reply?? You need to keep track. Have a "food diary" and EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth, you write down, and time and day... even toothpaste and breath mints. You also might need to keep track of WHAT BRAND of it is.... and then write down (same page or another) YOUR SYMPTOMS... worse, better, what date, time for how long...

and also with inhalents... keep track. (I didn't say this was easy, but I've done it and so have millions of others) don't wear cologne/perfum nor do you use scented ANYTHING! Use a plain soap (or for hand washing, the waterless kind?) If you can use Eucerin or Aveeno, that's what my allergist had me go to and they're great. If you clean anything, wear a dust/allergen mask... don't vacuum (someone else should and you go away till it settles... I use a Kirby with special allergy proof bags) Use as plain a soap for washing your clothes and bed linens as possible...

There's SO much to learn .. if you wish to. Like, if you find you are allergic to corn.. then you shouldn't use paper plates either as they are made from corn. And such things as, Jello is pork and Gelatin is Beef based.

Did this help ? You can elimate as much as possible to begin with, and after several days or 2 weeks, begin slowly adding things back in - one at a time - until you get a reaction.. then take that item off/out again... till a few months when you can try it again and be sure. ??? TC good wishes
