Why am I suddenly allergic to fast food?

About four months ago I was able to eat Chinese food, Burger King, etc. Now all of a sudden, when I go out to eat I get really really itchy after eating those foods (e.g. french fries; fried chicken; pizza; soda, bagel; coffee, etc.) I also get itchy after chewing gum. I used to be able to chew gum without a problem. Why is this happening. I've also developed swollen lymph nodes all around my neck, groin, inner thighs, etc. I got a biopsy done and I do not have cancer. I got a blood test done and everything came out normal. I haven't had a fever or sore throat, just extreme itch on my body. I went to my allergist and I'm not even allergic to those foods that have been making me itchy...I came out positive only to eggs and hazelnuts, but I haven't even been eating those foods.Why am I suddenly allergic to fast food?
You could have celiac disease. Those symptoms sound very similar to what happens to me when I eat anything containing gluten (at least on the lower end of the spectrum...often I have even worse symptoms.)



It's also possible that you have simply run your immune system ragged. Your lymphatic system protects your body against disease by transporting immune cells around your body. It also helps to balance out the fluid levels around your body. If you are eating a lot of fast food (and even gum, with it's artificial sweeteners and colors) then there is a good chance you are overloading your body with sodium and caffeine which will throw off your bodies water balance and that you are full of toxic stuff that your body really wants to filter out.



Stress can also weaken your immune system and send your lymphatic system out of whack. I just had a bout of that last month actually.



My (completely non-medical as I am not a doctor or a dietician or nutritionist... just a gal with personal experience) advice would be to drink lots of water, and eat lots of raw fruits and veggies. Avoid caffeine and alcohol for a little while, and be gentle with yourself. Usually if I go raw for a couple days I manage to heal right up after my lymphatic system flares up.Why am I suddenly allergic to fast food?
The fried chicken is dipped in egg, It is likely the Pizza dough has egg in it, And so does the bagel. Food allergies are very complicated. Stop and think what may have an egg in it, before you eat something. I have 30 pages of Food Allergies and it's very difficult to have to determine every little thing. But you definetly have a food allergy to egg.Why am I suddenly allergic to fast food?
Better go see doctor for the best answer
