When I had severe sinus problems they did allergy testing via skin patch, not blood. (Turns out I'm allergic to hamsters. So please, keep all tail-less rodents away from me :) ) Getting rid of the hamster, sinus rinses, and time seemed to cure most of my sinus issues, though I still have crazy infections from time to time. Did they test you for any other allergens or just food? It seems to me that an environmental allergen would be more likely to be a culprit then a food. (food allergies generally involve a more topical/skin reaction and are usually faster acting)

My son has an allergy to dairy/whey and whenever he has something that has whey or lactose in it, he ends up really congested in the nose and mucousy. It also comes with some gastrointestinal distress, but the congestion is the worst of it.

My husband and I both wondered if the fact that I was eating heavier amounts of those foods might have actually skewed the test results. I am going to try eliminating them for the 3 weeks like they recommend. I can do anything for that long and see if I feel better or see improvement, if not, then I will look into a skin test before I declare the test results valid. I appreciate the support and feedback ladies. I tried some Quinoa today...very yummy. So, I am learning new foods and that is awesome.
I do NOT want to learn that I am allergic to my dogs. That would break my heart...literally. I could not give them up, no matter what. Well, one I could, but not my Peanut. She's a yorkie so doesn't shed, I don't even know that I would allow them to test cause if I don't know then I wouldn't feel obligated...KWIM? :) |
