Allergies

I am not diagnosed.. I have alot of food and other allergies. I'm going to mention it to my doctor when i see him. But you think that my food allergies could be alot of my bladder problems?

If it is caused from my food allergies i really don't know what i will do because i'm allergic to yeast, wheat, eggs, milk, corn, beef,shell fish and alot of other things such as dust etc.

I still eat all these things even though i know i'm allergic to them.

Only thing i can't eat is shrimp my throat swells closed.

I had my last allergy testing about a year ago. after my 3rd sinus surgery. I'm suppose to be having allergy shots weekly but i have a reaction to the shots and having problems taking them.
They do help with my asthma etc. I hate for this also to be caused from my allergies.

I would be sure to talk to your Dr. about this. If I knew I was allergic to something, I would not be eating it. I know that makes the diet real tough, but it really could be making your allergy related problems so much worse. If it is IC, the diet makes such a big difference to a lot of us. There are a lot of things I can't eat due to IC. I know if I do, I am going to feel bad and I don't want that.

I wish you well and hope you can find the answers and feel better soon.

I have many food and other allergies. I would talk to your doctor about it. I can not eat a lot of foods and found certain foods were bothering my bladder. Best wishes and hope you feel better soon.
