HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is important to determine what foods are causing your allergic reaction. This can be done by allergy testing either in the form of blood tests or as skin prick testing.
Your doctor would be able to tell you where these can be done.

The only way to stop the allergy would be to source the allergen then avoid it wherever possible.

I hope this helps
