Suggest Treatment For Food Allergies

I have terrible allergies/intolerances to inhalants, chemicals and foods. I am currently only able to eat freshly cooked beef, pork, chicken, black beans, field peas, carrots, cauliflower, celery, white rice. That is it...no fruits no wheat, eggs, yeast, dairy, green vegetables ( can t tolerate the chlorophyl), no seasonings beyond salt. I cannot be tested by allergist because it takes 1 week to test one thing at a time. The last time they tried to test multiple sensitivities my arm swelled up twice its size and they all panicked. Could these allergies be related to thyroid or adrenal gland issues? I have so many allergies/intolerances could they be related to a deeper problem? and no i have NO medical problems except for these allergies

Hi,
Allergy to food or chemical or inhalants can be diagnosed only on the basis of detailed history taking and thoroughly clinical examination by an expert.
Although there are laboratory allergic testing of food is being done nowadays but none of them is reliable clinically and also adds extra cost to the patient.
The best way to cure allergy is to avoid contact of that particular allergen.
However there are very good medicines like epinephrine,steroids, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers are available in market to combat allergic symptoms.
Consult allergic specialist for further advise.
