When and where will the next ALLSA conference be
Ruth LovettSmith said on September 17, 2009
Pauline,
These types of conferences are usually yearly or every other year. I’m not 100% sure when the next one will be. The organization is fairly small with limited resources.
Following is a phone number. I could not find an email address. Hope that helps!

Hi I suffer from cronic allergies and have already been diagnosed to which I am allergic. I suffer form a cronic blocked nose and have no smell or taste for the last two years. It sometimes comes back and then I can actually taste and smell my food, but that only happens for maybe ten minutes, and then it is gone again. I am having pollips removed in my nose soon, but the ENT stipuolated that this will not cure my main problems. Please can you refer me to a specialist that will be able to help me. Kind Regards
Heidi

Hi Heidi, thanks for stopping by at Best Allergy Sites. You don’t say where you are located–so it’s hard for me to give you a recommendation.
If you are in the United States–the best place to search for a specialist is at the following link (AAAAI):

If you are outside of the US. Ck out the international support listings on our site under allergy support/international support:

Hope that helps!

Good day
I’ve been suffering for the last 14 years with chronic allergies. I have chronic sinusitus with a permanently blocked nose and hayever every other day. I’ve had nasal pollops removed and to no avail. I reside in Johannesburg. Where can I find an Allergist?

Hi Ruth, my son (5yr) has multiple allergies (Nuts, Peanuts, Seeds, Shell fish and Crustaceans, Soya, Wheat as well as certain additives). I am looking for lists of safe foods/ ingredients, but seem to get nowhere with my inquiries. We are located in Stellenbosch/Cape Town, South Africa. Where can I look? Who would you recommend I see that might help with this and other allergy related queries? Thanks Christine
