No, it’s really annoying, because no one seems to separate or know the differences between allergies, intolerances and oral allergy syndrome. Allergies can be life threatening, and thinking that you can deal with them by yourself is just ridiculous.
yall really engaging in discourse with discourse generator
Are you guys literally saying that if you eat something you’re allergic to and some part of you swells, whether it be hands, feet, or throat, you can’t call it an allergy until you’ve seen a doctor about it? Sorry, no, that’s bullshit.
A person mildly allergic to peanuts swallows one for the first time and is unable to breathe properly for a while. From this they deduce that they have an allergy, and make sure to avoid peanuts because /they use their brain/.
No, fuck you. I’m aware that there are some stupid people out there who misuse self diagnosis, but honestly it’s a fucking brilliant tool to those with a sensible brain.
I don’t need to be /tested/ for food allergies/intolerances, because I have experienced them by living. Citrus fruit gives me stomach migraines, do I need a doctor to confirm that? no, because I myself am feeling the effects, and I know the symptoms and signs of stomach migraines, having had them since I was a baby.
You know your body better than anyone, never let anyone tell you that just because you can’t get yourself to a doctor, for reasons of money or distance, that what you’re feeling doesn’t exist.
Be sensible with self diagnosis, and it can get you far.
Also allergy testing give a lot of false negatives and false positives so even doctors recommend self diagnosis for what the food may be by trial.
^This. Especially with histamine intolerances and mast cell disorders which many allergist are not familiar with, let alone know the first thing about proper testing protocols for diagnosis. With those conditions a lot of the time you’ll only test positive for say one or two things but still have true symptoms even to the point of anaphylaxis. So yes, learn the signs, avoid your triggers (reactions are never predictable in severity), carry rescue meds, and make sure you list them in your medical info (it can help guide doctors for example if you react to bananas, avacado, kiwi (there’s a few more) there’s a chance you may react to latex).
