So, after a year of having episodes, I finally can realize these episodes are anaphylaxis. Woot! a step in the right direction. Now the problem at hand is what is causing me to go into anaphylactic shock, as it is not triggered immediately after eating. I have done some googling, and came across an article addressing delayed food allergy reactions. It is called type 3 delayed onset food allergy. Of course there is a long complicated blood test to determine the allergens, but as I no longer have health insurance (except student health center @OSU), these tests probably will not get done anytime soon. I have reached the point where I am pretty much food phobic, and dread eating anything, and get really nauseated at the thought of certain foods that I normally like. I am going to a nutrition store later to see about a low /no allergen protien shake diet just to eliminate allergens and slowly reintroduce foods back into my sysetem. I would like to go 6 weeks without anaphylaxis, and then start bringing foods back in. Then we will see. Right now I suspect really gluteny foods or eggs. My most current attack lasted over four hours with hives for an hour and a half. Wish me luck.
