Food Allergies

[akita]

I dont think this really is first aid so i'm posting it here. Last week when i ate soemthing my lips became very red and sore. Today i went to the doctor and told him about it and asked if i should have an allergy test and he said no unless it happens again and i just ate some potato scallops (potatoes cooked in cream) and it feels like its happening again. So what i wanted to find out was should i get another opinion or go back to him whenever i can get another appointment in a weeks time? I can't be allergic to potatoes, i love them too much. *sigh*

Well your doctor said to go back to him if it happens again, so if its worrying you then i would get it checked out. Gud luck and i hope ur not allergic to potatoes

[Accidentally Abstract]

Yeah, good luck with it all.
Go back if it happens.

your probably more likely to dairy than potatoes tbh, unless your allergic to starch or something.

i think one of the chemists like lloyds do free allergy testing, or it might be superdrug actually. maybe try there before you go back to the dr's as there is not a lot the dr can do anyway really (and i know as i am allergic to a million things!).

They'll probably just tell you to keep a food diary so that you can find out what foods trigger a reaction, then you can cut them out of your diet!
