i’m allergic to…
November 20, 2016 • 14 comments • 900 viewsI know I’m allergic to seafood but I was curious to know what else, just in case. So I took the allergy test.
Ta-daaaa!
They put a strip on you, marked the numbers and each number represents a different item like peanut, shrimp, egg and other things. They drop liquid next to each number and you have to wait 10-15 minutes with your arms out like this, and be bored to death because you can’t check your phone. Like you literally have to just watch your phone light blinking and not be able to check if that’s an urgent message or someone commented on your Instagram photo… #problems.
Slowly red dots will start to appear or you’ll start to feel an itch, and then after time’s up, the doctor will call you in to examine you to see what you most reacted to.
What I’m allergic to?
How much time do you have?
-___-“
I’m allergic to shrimp which was expected since I get rash if I want seafood sometimes. I’m allergic to coco which means I can’t eat chocolate and milo, which is so heartbreaking I’m going to drown my sorrows in some chocolate ice cream later. I’m allergic to cockroach which made me so uncomfortable thinking they dropped blended cockroach juice onto my skin. But who doesn’t want to be allergic to cockroach. Alhamdulillah.
And lastly, I’m allergic to flour. Like wth WHO IS ALLERGIC TO FLOUR?!!! I’ve been living my whole life eating flour and yummy carbs and I haven’t gotten rash from it or whatever. So so odd this test.
“Excuse me? Flour?”
“Yes, corn flour and wheat flour.”
“Wait, wait… you’re saying I can’t have cucur udang and roti canai and cekodok pisang??”
What kind of life would that be?!!!!!
Anyway, get tested guys. You might discover you’re actually allergic to certain things and then regret taking the test. But really, take a deep breath and just do it. Maybe go for a food party before you take the test. Go all out before the doctor tells you you’re allergic to it. Ok bad advice. Bye.
Hello Dear, i did an allergic test too, miserably. And im allergic to Peanut, Cocoa, wheat , SOY, seafood (except squid), some dust mite which had a very high reading on me and cockroach too! It was too weird, because all my life I’ve been eating oats,and soy stuff and chocolates of course but it was only recently the flare ups became obvious! Anyways, everything in moderation shouldn’t harm?
Whoaaaa. I hope i’m not allergic to coco and flour too… haha.. i have a lot of eating to do for my blog! 😀
I did it too.. im allergic to latex, stainless steel(only can wear gold ????), dust, mites, cockcroach, cats(which I have one and only hug hin once a week, poor Monster), and some skincare which I have to filter and donsome research, apparently im allergic to expensive(big) fish ????????
May i know where you did the test? And how much it cost?
di mana boleh buat arllergy test..plez inform me…
why cant we have ‘allergic to vegetables’ result? hahaha i’ll be glad to hear that
Saya alergic kat cuaca – tak boleh cuaca panas….hihihi.. hanya sesuai duduk kat negara omputih jer, tak boleh duduk kat Malaysia…krik krik krik – (ambooiii – cliche sangat kan)
I was diagnosed with wheat intolerance and the safest bet was to go gluten free. Most supermarkets like Village Grocer would have small sections marked gluten free, and you can try substituting wheat flour with a combination of rice/quinoa/corn flour. The downside to this allergy is the fact that we mostly have to cook our own meals and eating out is a bit of a hassle (no more eating out for Italian food, no more pizza, no more burgers, no more cakes and pastries!).
But so far going gluten free has successfully decreased my symptoms. Hoping for the best.
Some say blood test is more accurate. I did that for my son and found out that he is allergic to eggs, peanuts, soy, dust, mites and SALMON. So weird coz I tried feeding him salmon before and no flare up. So when I asked the doctor, doctor said it depends on the type of salmon. Mmm-kayyyy~ And surprisingly sometimes when my son eats certain types of fruits like kiwi, oranges and strawberry, his face still turns red eventho the result doesnt say that hes allergic to it. Weirddddd
Hi vivy! May I know where can I make the allegic test? Thankss
hihi yes don’t tell the doc! 😀
as long as it’s not a superserious allergy, i guess we can consume what we’re allergic to.. but in a minimal amount. i’m allergic to seafood too. if taken too much, i can have zits all over my face. it comes to extent if i take em a lot, i’ll get an allergic fever. tapi kalau makan seekor dua udang, ok lagi. i think same goes with your flour allergy :DD
mungkin allergic tp kesan tak teruk kot vy sbb tu ue tk pernah realise ue allergic to flour. mcm yg biasa allergic to lipas, tp tk teruk. still boleh makan lg dekat mamak – those roti roti (canai, tisu, planta,and etc). hahahha
Never thought of doing allergic test.. All the while only do normal medical check up. Will do my allergic test soon after your advice
Omg! Apparently allergic to flour is not weird at all. I did my allergic test when i was 14 bcs i have skin problem. And i’m allergic to wheat which means roti canai, noodles, pastas and everything made of flour and wheat. On top of that i cant take soy and nuts and vege with seeds. Imagine that. Living with that until now in my 20’s. However, i started to take em in a small quantity. Anyway, it’s okay Vivy! You’re not alone 😉 hehe
