Hello,

Recently my tongue and lips have gotten swollen. I went to an
allergenist and they tested for food and other allergies but haven't
found anything.
Has anyone experienced this? Do you know what could be the cause?

Thank you,

Rellie

Hello Rellie,

I have experienced this. It was everytime I used to eat pork, or
anything containing any pork deriative ( pork gelatine etc). My throat
and mouth would swell. As soon as I left pork alone I was fine. My mum
suffers with the same allergy. Allergenists don't always check for
pork allergies, as it's not always a recognised allergy.
Just keep an eye on what you eat and see if it happens again.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Tracy

Could be an unidentified allergy; could also be bacterial infection,
thyroid failure or vitamin deficiency.

You would be better going to a general practitioner first.

Thank you for your response. I will see if this may be a cause.
