I have wondered the same thing.
My 3 year old twin daughtershave eczema. This led us eventually to an allergist. As a child I had milk, soy, bean, egg, and a litany of other allergies long since forgotten. It was my own curiosity that had me have them tested...mainly for milk and soy allergies.
They came back clear for that. However tested positive for egg white, corn, malt, pineapple, peanuts, and a few others.
So with the removal of the family pet and the bulk of the allergens in the house, one of the twins cleared up. Almost completely. She develops a spot or two but doesn't give her much trouble.
The other twin just continues to get worse. The only egg product she gets are in baked goods and I'm looking for a way to elminate that. Peanuts weren't difficult to eliminate at all. Corn is difficult. Very difficult because they love it....corn cereal, corn bread, corn in and of itself.
We discovered pineapple and kiwi on our own but she tesed negative for oranges.
Anyhow, I'm stumped by the malt. I'm not sure what I should be elminating. Malt, malted barley, malted vinegar, maltodexterine????
So I'm with you....if someone has an answer I'm begging you to share.

Mast cells are helpful to the physical body because they help iniate an inflammatory response. Inflammation is used by the physical body to defend it'self against incoming antigens that could potentially harm the body. Inflammation is an immune system adaptation and most sources refer to it as a secondary form of non-specific immunity. The reason Mast Cells are usefull is because they are the cells that have cell identity markers on them. Mast cells are a type of wbc that differentiates into a mast cell when it leaves the cardio-vascular system and moves into the tissue. Mast cells are able to recognise a potentially harmful substance. The value of this is that mast cells are able to produce and allergic reaction and this attracts macrophages and other WBC's which ensure that the potentially harmful substance is isolated and distroyed. The body sees the positive aspect of removing the potentially harmful substance as more important than the negatives associated with inflammation.
Can a child suddenly become allergic to his dog that has been in the house for 7 weeks?
It might not be the dog itself. It may be dander, dust, mites and other invisible pests caused by the addition of the dog and it may have taken this long for the "uninvited guests" to get out of control. Get an air purifier, change the filters in the furnace and bathe the dog on a regular basis.

Does Inbreeding in dogs cause allergies?
inbreeding is esentially just your dog having maybe bad dna, then breeding with someone so close that they have that same bad gene and their pups get the bad gene cuz there's no way to cancel it out with the blood lines so close. inbreeding doesn't CAUSE anything, but if allergies were in the family blood, there's a great chance the dogs will have them.

Here are some balloon tips and ideas for those who suffer from latex allergies:
For water balloon parties, use the zip lock brand small sandwich snack bags filled in a bucket and sealed underwater, also the cheap small baggies (with no zip seal) can be filled with water and twisted/tied with a rubber band or twistie tie that you find in the produce section of the supermarket.
Also we sell the 4" mylars in round, heart and star shape in all colors, fill those with a turkey baster and water and hand tie off, they are more durable as waterballoons.
The latex balloons are made of rubber, they will stretch from small to large size when they are blown up. The latex balloon substitutes (latex alternative balloon) will not stretch and are simply flat or filled.
The mylar and plastic balloons will float with sizes 18" and greater and take 0.5 cu ft of helium each to fill.
The mylar balloons will conduct electricity, the plastic balloons will not. Use care in not using metallic ribbons on balloons as the balloons will conduct electricity.
PVC and the small vinyl balloons (less than 4.5 feet in size) will not float, however there are large vinyl inflatable balloons in different shapes that can be used for outdoor events and do not contain latex, filled with air or helium (to float).
Vinyl balloons are an excellent mold for paper mache' projects or balloon toss. They are just like beach ball material, sizes range from 5" to 18". They will not float.
For Science teachers who are performing pressure experiments in class, try inserting a rubber balloon inside of a 18" plastic balloon.
For those parents who wish a school to ban latex balloons, please contact the school nurse or principal.
Latex balloon substitutes that are now available are in the following materials: PVC, Vinyl, Plastic and Mylar balloons. Hopefully I can find more.
For more information on this subject, run a search on the internet using the key words "Latex free balloons" and view the information on using latex balloon alternatives.
ANOTHER ANSWERI AM NOT SURE of specific rules regarding latex balloons at schools, but if your child is allergic to latex, the schol administration as well as their teachers should be made aware of it, and I would put a reminder in writing. Because of latex allergies, MOST if not ALL hospitals do not allow them. Hospitals allow ONLY MYLAR balloons. Some allergies can be quite severe, especially things like peanut allergies, which can actually be life threatening. <<Are the preservatives that are added to turkeys gluten free?

If your dog's eyes and snout are swollen after being outside can you give her a allergy tablet?
It is not unheard of for a vet to OK an owner to give their dog a Benadryl. I have a chocolate lab who takes them from time to time when his skin allergies flare up. However, the dosing would depend greatly on what type of dog you had, size, history, and so on. Dog's systems are very different than a human's. It is always better to check with your vet about your specific case than to take a chance harming your pet.
What should you do for a 3 year old with fever and swelling of the eyes?
You should take the child to see a doctor as soon as you possibly can.
From what you've told me, your daughter has shown no signs of a penicillin allergy -- she simply used a penicillin variant (Amoxycillin) that's been around for a comparatively long time, and it hit a resistant strain. Simply not working is, in a way, reasuring, in that daughter's body handled the full dosage with no apparent adverse effects. That the medication didn't help shold have nothing to do with allergies.
How do the people who are allergic to water take a shower?
The only person who was allergic to water was the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. She dissolved when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her. No one else has this bizarre allegy. We can still ask how the Wicked Witch of the West took showers, but that particular detail was not discussed in Oz novels. Presumably, she did not shower. Possibly she took sponge baths.
Actually, there are supposedly only 30 people in the world who have this bizzare allergy, it's insane, and i wanted to know as well. I saw this on the Tyra Show and she cant even touch her son because of the moisture in his skin. So, before you answer something, get a litte educated and not give an answer about the Wicked Witch of the West.
While taking c-phen can you take Zyrtec also?
No, you do not want to take an over the counter antihistamine on top of a prescription strength antihistamine/decongestant combination. Taking too much antihistamines may make you too groggy and confused. You might even pass out or have trouble breathing. Too much antihistamine also dries you out and causes a severe sinus headache.
Allergic sinusitis due to hay fever?
