Will You Always Have Nut Allergies?

by George Jones

When I was very young, my parents started to recognize that I was having a difficult time whenever I ate certain foods. They were unaware of what I was allergic to but they did happen to mention it to my doctor who was able to determine that it was a nut allergy that I was having.

As a result of this allergy, my parents were very strict in keeping me away from eating any nuts or even coming in contact with anything that had also come in contact with them. I didn't really know at the time that they were doing this in an effort to save my life because a nut allergy can cause a problem which is that severe.

As I grew older, I continue to have problems with this and at times, I experienced severe reactions that landed me in the hospital. I ended up carrying an epinephrine autoinjector on a regular basis, just in case I happen to have one of these reactions again.

I also made sure that I carried antihistamines because they tend to help if I have a mild reaction as a result of only coming into some food that happens to be cross contaminated. I started to wonder if I would always have these nut allergies or not.

Unfortunately, I was never told any good news as far as overcoming this particular type of allergy was concerned. As a matter of fact, there is no medical treatment that is available in order to help you to overcome an allergy to nuts or to peanuts.

There are some natural treatments that are available but I was always cautious about these as well because of the severity of the reaction that I would have whenever I came into contact with this type of food. There was a slight possibility that I would eventually outgrow it but really, only about one in five outgrow it and when they do, it could always recur.

That is why I will have to be cautious for the rest of my life whenever it comes to the nut allergies that I am experiencing. Although it can be a little bit discouraging from time to time, I have gotten used to the fact that I will always have to deal with the situation so I make sure that I am prepared in advance. It has allowed me to live my life as normally as possible, even in a world where nuts are everywhere.

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.
