HOpefully quickly as shoulder hurts: While exploring the mast cell angle, thought i'd finally test 2 acquired allergies I got sometime in last 6 or so years. Buyt once again, a mystery is revelaed. I am so damn sick of being a medical zebra
I get what appear to be typical IgE symptoms to all milk products including goat, sheep, buffalo, and camel and including yogurt, butter, even ghee. I get tiching, hives, sometimes swellings on face, get stuffed nose and runny nose, get stomach cramping and diarrhea (that's why have to avoid), and even the tiniest bits set off a reaction. Can't sneak it even a bit on the end of teaspoon-my immune system figures it out. The other item i'm allergic to is coconut, both ingested, and topical. this includes coconut oil.
Two oddities before i get to results. One is that the timing is not that of an IgE reaction. its delayed. Usually the delay time is 12 hours. This is what one might expect for an IgG reaction. Yet the symptoms do not seem like all igG. i also had IgG blood spot testing- no smoking gun, though i was off milk products for a couple yeas before testing. Second, struck me as odd that so many different species and forms (like ghee) would give the reaction.
ok, blood tests- every single ige tested- whey, cassein, lactoalbumin, coconut, and i think more were all NEGATIVE. its driving me mad! Alpha gal antiboides also negative.
i have one or two ideas but very curious to hear from others. anyting like this happen to you? any ideas what's going on with me?
