I was born with extreme eczema especially in the face. After getting breast milk I always reacted. My parents took me immediately to our doc and special allergist. They figured out during my first weeks and months that I have many allergies. I did overcome a lot while growing up. Now I’m still allergic to peanut, egg, soy, peas, lentils, beans and kiwi. I’m also lactose and histamine intolerant but I manage to have it on a normal basis in discussion with my natural practitioner.

My parents mostly reached out to the best docs and allergists in Germany. Since two years I go to a natural practitioner who works on a scientific basis and starts with the roots (gut health and immune system). I really do recommend looking for one working scientifically and visiting on a regular basis.

I first figured out I had food allergies when I was 5. We were at a normal family dinner and we had beans. I had never reacted to them before but on that occasion I had a rash all over my skin, I had trouble breathing and I vomited all over the place. I was diagnosed with allergies and for the next day 3 years I kept developing/discovering new allergies (including dust mites, which I overcame after getting vaccinated for 4 years).

Nowadays I still have the same Food allergies: dry nuts, pepper, cheese, soy and beans (of any kind). Fun fact they are all deadly for me. At the beginning I only had slight reactions, but now I have to be extremely careful because any of them can cause me an anaphylactic shock.

And also I did research on my own for a project at school to explain what allergies are, and I grew fond of FARE’s website, highly recommend it ^^
