IMPORTANT: If you have eaten something that you are allergic to, consult a medical professional. If your allergic reaction could be severe, call 911.
Having an allergic reaction to something is no fun. Allergies can lead to uncomfortable swelling, itchiness, and hours spent in the restroom - and we don't have to tell you that at its worst, an allergic reaction can be fatal.
The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, peanuts, soy, fish, gluten, and shellfish. While these allergies may be easy to avoid at home, eating out or at a friend's house may not be so easy. It is also possible to develop allergies as we age. Something that used to be completely safe for us to consume or apply to our bodies can turn into an allergic reaction out of nowhere.
If you are experiencing itchiness, skin redness, swelling, itchy throat and eyes, nausea or discomfort, or hives - it is likely that you are having an allergic reaction to something. Here is what to do next.
1. Stop eating when your symptoms start
If a peanut somehow makes its way into your supposedly peanut-free food, stop eating ASAP and start paying attention to your symptoms. Itchiness of the throat, eyes, and nose can be treated with Allergy Ease but if you think your symptoms may worsen: call 911 immediately.
2. Get to a bathroom
As if an allergy wasn't already annoying enough, an allergic reaction can sometimes be accompanied by another unpleasant symptom: diarrhea. If you begin to experience abdominal cramping, head to a restroom. If you have a food allergy, it is also a good idea to pair Allergy Ease with Belly Reset. Belly Reset at Sol Nutrition supports a healthy GI tract while encouraging the natural production of probiotics for proper digestion and regular bowel movements. This popular formula helps rebalance your gut health, calms cramps, reduces bloating and relieves gas so you can enjoy your day without being held back by belly issues.
3. Keep yourself hydrated
Water is always a good idea, but if your body is purging, it becomes easy for you to become dehydrated. We lose hydration when we are vomiting, fatigued, and have diarrhea. Drinking beverages with electrolytes helps by keeping our bodies well hydrated as our bodies get rid of the allergy.
4. Avoid eating heavy meals
Once you are ready to eat again, you should eat foods that will promote healing and reduce inflammation. It's probably a good idea to stay away from processed, and sugary foods. Instead, try eating some Greek yogurt with chia seeds, avocado toast on whole grain bread, berries and bananas, or some green tea.
5. Get to a hospital if it is serious
If you are having a severe allergic reaction-grab an EpiPen and call 911. You will need to tell the medical professionals what you are allergic to and how you became contaminated. This will allow the hospital to get you the most effective treatment. If you don't know what you are allergic to, doctors may perform medical exams to determine whether you have developed a new allergy.
People can be allergic to many different things such as food, pets, and pollen. All allergies have one thing in common: the body sees allergies as harmful, which in turn, stimulates an allergic reaction. When the body comes in contact with an allergen, our bodies produce antibodies to fight “harmful” substances. Our body then remembers these antibodies, so that the next time our body comes in contact with the “harmful” substance, histamines are released, triggering an allergic reaction. Allergy Ease at Sol Nutrition helps ease environmental, seasonal, food, and pet allergies. This formula helps strengthen the immune system in case of frequent colds, seasonal allergies, sneezing, runny nose, fatigue, and itchiness of the nose, throat, and eyes. This doctor-formulated herbal formula will help get rid of the antibodies that your body has formed towards an allergy to help relieve symptoms from common allergies.
Allergies and immunity
When the immune system is constantly activated to fight off allergies, it can become tired and less effective at fighting off pathogens. This can make a person more susceptible to infections such as colds and flu. Immune Defense at Sol Nutrition helps you stay strong and healthy. The herbal ingredients in this formula help form a strong immune system by helping remove toxins within your body.
Takeaway
A common strategy to decrease allergy symptoms is to take antihistamines. Antihistamines may have side effects such as drowsiness, headaches, fatigue, and nausea. There are dietary supplements that may help with relieving symptoms - with less risk of side effects.
