    Default Can Allergic Reactions Come Back?

    Well when I was like 5 or 6 I was allergic to those peanut butter candy bars, I don't know if you know what I'm talking about. I wasn't allergic to any other peanut products either, just those. So for years I just wasn't allergic, it just stopped. But tonight they've come back full force and I'm like dying lol. Can food allergies actually come back?

    Yes, allergies can be tricky like that. I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide. But sometimes I'll get a breakout and use just a touch of it to clear me up. Certain times it works like a charm with no ill effects. Other times, the same stuff out of the same bottle might make my whole face swell up.

    Yes once you become intolerant to them again.

    I was thinking (maybe this can help you too) is to get an allergy test on what exactly youre allergic to. I think I saw some tests for that stuff at some health food stores.

    Yes and peanuts Im told can be one of those allergies where for years you just get a mild reaction to them and then one day you get a severe reaction.

    it's not just about being intolerant, though, it's because your body's cell's reproduce every seven years approximately. so, you can gain or lose allergies, or gain or lose severity in your allergies. for example, i gained a few food (dairy, egg, avocado and banana) allergies at 21 and have lost allergies to most dog breeds.

    and Aussie, im anaphylactic to a few things myself, kiwi and hazelnut being the death-to-me allergies. bleh, it's not fun carrying an epi-pen sometimes.

    oh and as for what TM said, you can actually take the food you think you are allergic to to an allergist's office and have them test your skin with it. (if it's uncommon) if it's common like peanuts, dairy coffee or chocolate, they will already have a test for it. so call ahead. i dont know the accuracy of the store-bought tests, but when it comes to allergies, i take it very very seriously due to family history and anaphylaxis as such, so i dont mess around and store-bought has me concerned.

    Love it!

    Although I do not know if this is true or not. I have heard that allergies sometime run in 12 year cycles. So you could have an allergy to something and it could go away only to come back much later on. This is what one Dr. told me when I went in for and allergy test for an allergy I had when I was a child that resurfaced in my early 20's.
