People have had allergies for generations, my MIL if she was alive now would be 109, allergic to dairy products, DH who is 67 is allergic to milk, is able to eat one egg a week. Youngest daughter is allergic to more dairy products than either of her father or grandmother. Plus can not drink wine.
Now I have always been fine could eat anything, suddenly I am allergic to white flour only in the UK, we have found out this is because of the additives that are in white bread but not brown bread, this was started during the war when we were on rations for many years. One problem we have here is that if an additive to a product is below a certain percentage of the product being sold the producer of the product does not have to put this on the packaging. I recall a young teenager a couple of years ago went to the EU court to change this rule that all additives should be on the packaging. DH suddenly found he had a severe allergy problem, had to take an epipen sp around with him all the time, his whole body would swell up, throat, lips face. We had not a clue the cause. I had to argue with our doctor to allow my DH to have an allergy test, we were told not on the National Health, even privately which we did in the end was against our doctors wishes, we then found out that DH was allergic to one of his heart tablets, he came off this tablet, but was told he had to wait six months to see the heart specialist, 2 days later DH got a phone call to stop taking another heart tablet made by Bayer, seems 51 people in the States have died taking this particular tablet, 1100 are taking Bayer to court in the states. Three days after coming off both tablets DH had a severe heart attack. On the way to hospital, DH died as was brought back by the paramedics, this was on the way to Reading, the poor ambulance driver felt sorry for him as he kept being told different hospitals to take DH to. We asked DH what it was like in heaven, he said that it was the harp lessons, could not take to them. DH has now two blocked arteries that meant the base of his heart is dead so has learnt to live on half power. If only the doctors in this country would allow patients or suggest rather patients have allergy tests. Also it was over 8 weeks for an angigram sp told it would be another six months to get treatment, has another heart attack three months later. He is too old to have a new heart. I took my grandson to a Thai restaurant this week. He had never had Thai food before, all I have got since we have been back home when can we take granddad to the Thai restaurant. I asked him if he would go to MacDonald's, no I prefer Thai food.
