How can I find out the source of an allergy?
Morganhorses asked:
I have never been allergic to anything ever but loaded with hives – I think they are – (raised itchy welts flesh pink colored) that isn’t responding to typical itch creams or calamine. Do doctors test for certain things on my arm or something? Has anyone developed a new allergy later in life from something they never reacted to before? What was the source?
How come my hayfever is worse at night when I sleep with the window closed?

When I sleep with the windows closed, I wake up at night because of my hayfever. When I leave it open, nothing bothers me. It would seem more logical if it was the other way around…
What can I put on my belt buckles and buttons because of a nickel metal allergy?
BonneChance asked:
I have a nickel metal allergy. Most of my belt buckles and jean buttons seem to be some sort of metal irritant. I may also be allergic to other types of metal. Gold, steel, silver and titanium are fine, but I know Nickel is not my friend. Is there anything I can put on the metal so that it can touch my skin without causing irritation?
How to cure allergy on the nose?
Charlotte_T asked:
I’ve been having an allergy on my nose since young. I can’t get too close and long with dust and animals. When my allergy starts I have to take medicine for weeks before it finally gets back to normal. What’s worst, it came several time when I was just about to go for a holiday! Does anyone have any idea how to cure it? It’d be best if the remedy is simple and doesn’t cost much money. Is there any food which is good in curing it?

Are there any safe and effective natural alternatives to allergy medications?
Dok asked:
My wife suffers from asthma which seems to be triggered mostly by allergies like dust, animals, ragweed, pollen etc. She is currently taking Loratadine (an antihistamine) which helps to keep her allergies/asthma in control. The problem- I don’t trust chemicals. I don’t think they’re safe. (sorry Big Pharma). So my question is, are there any safe and effective natural alternatives to allergy medications such as Loratadine?

So what's the difference between food allergy and food intolerance?
sui_19 asked:
If I have a food allergy can I also be those types of food intolerant?
Please explain it in your own words, I can read a definition in the encyclopedia as well. An answer from a doctor would be highly appreciated here.
(The reason I am asking this question is that I am trying to maybe somehow assess whether if I have IBS and food allergies I may be wheat/glutem intolerant. And I have heard many people with IBS are gluten/wheat intolerant. Maybe finding this out would make my life easier.)
