A very rare allergy

Only a handful of cases have been reported in the medical literature regarding lactation anaphylaxis. In other words, the act of breastfeeding can cause an allergic reaction. For general educational purposes only.

Yep. I'm allergic to my period! Not technically but my estrogen and progesterone levels dropping causes me to go into anaphylaxis. Super rare and most people do not believe me including doctors!

WOW. That is one I never heard of this one.

One doctor stated that an additional pregnancy might make the allergies get better because of hormone changes.

Im "allergic" to MRI contrast dye. I was told its a "pseudo allergy" not from IGE.

But i still had an immediate severe reaction. I started choking and having difficulty breathing and they had to call a bunch of nurses with a crash cart to get me meds immediately. Which resolved the "allergic reaction" (thankfully i was in the hospital during the scan)

Doc cant test it, doc cant tell me if it will happen again. All the advice i have is to load up on prednisone before and do any future scans at a hospital incase i have another severe reaction.

Something rare is galactosemia, its a dairy allergy, its to the sugar galactos you cant break it down and it will kill you if you consume dairy, lactose is fine but galactos isnt,
My son has this "allergy"

I have spent the better part of 5 years dealing with the skin on my fingertips being such a mess I had to change jobs. So it was not the job but I am allergic to Balm of Peru and polypropylene glycol. I feel very lucky for learning about polypropylene glycol when I did since it was the start of the shut down and they put hand sanitizer everywhere and the main filled is polypropylene glycol. I was a factory worker and worked during lock down. Dealing with the Balm of Peru allergy damaging my hands it took the better part of those 5 years and some major meds to get almost normal fingers today. There is a lot more to the story and would not mind sharing it how insane my last 5 years have been.

I am currently experiencing this!! :( Do you have a link to the original video? Or can you get in contact with me regarding treatment/suggestions on what to do?

I’m 2 weeks PP and currently spent the past 48 hours in different ER clinics where they just all point out that my allergic reaction is real, but that it can’t be caused by my own breast milk. I even showed them that after pumping I get a severe allergic reaction for at least 2 hours. They admit it’s a weird correlation but still send me back home every time because they don’t see how they can help me as they don’t believe it to help true.
