Hopefully others will join in and comment there. Kathy, I encourage you to keep a food diary to keep track of your symptoms and when they occur and to contact an allergist immediately if you have not already. You should be keeping an EpiPen with you at all times. Ruth Thanks Janeen-will take a look over at wego health. Hopefully others will join in and comment there.

Kathy,

I encourage you to keep a food diary to keep track of your symptoms and when they occur and to contact an allergist immediately if you have not already. You should be keeping an EpiPen with you at all times.

I get a funny feeling in my stomach, I get real hot and my upper body, hands and feet are bright red. I get severe stomach pain with uncontrollable diarrhea. I have felt like I was going to pass out or be sick to stomach. My lips and sometimes tongue swell and feel tingly. I cannot tell what is causing the reaction. It is usually but not always right after I have eatten. I am having them more frequently and am afraid to go anywhere. I have anaphylaxis.

I cannot tell what is causing the reaction. It is usually but not always right after I have eatten. I am having them more frequently and am afraid to go anywhere.

I linked it on my FB site as well. I especially loved the detailed explanation of what happens during a reaction and how to treat. Yeah!! So grateful that Dr. Oz FINALLY covered this!

You were so much more descriptive! Amazing how the volunteer jabbed the EpiPen. I think a lot of people think that is what you are supposed to do. Glad he cleared it up! Stephanie--glad you liked the video and I'm happy to hear you are going to link it. I think the more we share, the more awareness it will bring. And I think this video in particular was a great one b/c it was straight and to the point without any drama! :) Maria--I did catch and totally forgot to mention the bee allergy. It's funny how it always takes someone with history or experience to spread the word about allergies! I'm just finally glad a show is covering food allergies and portraying them in such an educational and positive way. Janeen–I saw your post just as I was posting mine!

I have experienced watching my then 3 1/2 year old son going through an anaphylactic reaction and several less severe reactions - and Dr. Oz's demostration of what happens in an anaphylactic reaction is right on! I love Dr. Oz too! I'm posting this link on my Facbook page. For a mom of a severely food allergic child who also has asthma – I say “THANK YOU” Dr. Oz!!
