for years i've had this problem in the hayfever season, of gagging.. but this is the first time i've found some triggers foods.

New rules for food labelling in Canada
Copied from another newsgroup (misc.health.diabetes): Good news all around. I wonder how long it will be for Quebec to catch up. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080722/diabetics_pump_080722/20080722/ http://tinyurl.com/5wcoej Vicki Robert ... 24 Jul 2008 06:44

Regulatory T-cell numbers directly related to allergic response

HDAC inhibitors like butyrate reduce autoimmunity via IDO/tryptophan
While it shouldn't come as any surprise that butyrate and other HDAC inhibitors have potential against autoimmunity since they boost FoxP3 expression and regulatory T-cell numbers, this recent link to IDO is an interesting twist. IDO is indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. It degrades tryptophan which is essential to... 20 Jul 2008 08:22

Something for a nut intolerance?
I recently saw this on another newsgroup, but don't have any reason to try it: Oh, while I was in hospital I had an interesting chat with a woman who had a food intolerance to nuts. She didn't have near death experiences if she ate some. That made it interesting because she had come up with some remedi... 8 Jul 2008 09:00

Is this allergic reaction or severe Asthma attack?
Hi Greg, I'm not an expert, but I would think it could be both. Often an allergy can trigger an asthma attack. Also, abrupt temperature changes (cold popsicle, perhaps?) can trigger an asthma attack. Sometimes I notice that sometimes I'm more sensitive to triggers than at other times. I think this has ... 6 Jul 2008 16:03
