latex allergy rash treatment :: Article Creator Combating Common Skin Irritants Soap A lot of hand washing with soap and water strips the skin of its natural oils. This can cause "dishpan hands." At first, your skin may look dry and chapped. But if it lasts a long time and is not treated, your skin can crack and bleed. Dishwashing soap, bubble bath, and body washes might also have this effect. Fabric dryer sheets Fabric softener and dryer sheets can cause itchy, irritant reactions. "You see rashes in places that are covered by clothing and relative sparing where the clothing is not," says Amy Newburger, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in Scarsdale, NY, author of Looking Good at Any Age, and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). "That's a big giveaway." Donald V. Belsito, MD, clinical professor of medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, recommends sticking with fr

dna testing for food sensitivity :: Article Creator What Does An At-Home Food Sensitivity Test Tell You? I Tried One To Find Out A cruel irony to being a food and travel writer is that I often suffer from stomach problems. My IBS (previously a colitis diagnosis) can turn any grand tasting into a terror with cramping, bloating, and, well, I'll spare you the more graphic details. Though I've never tested positive for major food allergies or intolerances including gluten (a common culprit) or dairy, I've always wondered if I had any sensitivities that I was unaware of, especially as someone who eats everything and anything at any given moment.  Joey Skladany/CNET Enter Everlywell: The $199 at-home food sensitivity kit measures your body's immune response to 96 common foods.  "At-home lab testing for IgG (short for the responsive antibodies called immunoglobulin G) reactivity can be a great way for those with relatively mild, food-re

allergic to aspirin :: Article Creator What Is The Difference Between Anaphylaxis And Allergic Reaction? Allergic reactions and anaphylaxis occur when a person is sensitive to an allergen. Allergens are substances that cause an immune response ranging from a runny nose to shortness of breath. Allergic reactions occur when someone touches, swallows, or breathes in an allergen. Common causes of allergic reactions include certain foods, medications, and insect bites or stings. Anaphylaxis is an acute (sudden) and severe type of allergic reaction.  Most allergic reactions are mild and are manageable at home. Symptoms may include a runny nose, watery eyes, or a rash. There are several levels of anaphylaxis, based on the severity and the organs affected. It's often life-threatening and requires immediate medical care. Signs of anaphylaxis include skin flushing, swelling, itching, and difficulty breathing.  Many allergic reactions and ana

yeast allergy foods to avoid :: Article Creator What Can My Daughter Eat With A Yeast Allergy? Would I be right in suspecting she has been diagnosed with candidiasis - an overgrowth of Candida yeast in the gut? If this is the case, or even if the only information you have is that she has a yeast intolerance, the basic concept is the same - to 'starve' yeast out of the system by not feeding it. In theory, this should be simple as it only involves cutting out sugary, yeasty or fermented foods. But in practice it means not eating any of the following common foods: • Chocolate, confectionery or sugary foods of any kind • Bread • White flour • Alcohol • Vinegar • Blue cheeses • Mushrooms • Peanuts and pistachios (in case they are contaminated with traces of mould) • Pickles • Soy sauce • Vinegar • Marmite • Fruit juice and sugared soft drinks Though this may seem restrictive, foods your daughter can eat are plain meat and fish, unsugared cereals,

asthma exacerbation symptoms :: Article Creator The Importance Of Screening For Loneliness In COPD & Asthma Photo Credit: Sinenkiy Loneliness is a key risk factor for symptom exacerbations and hospitalizations in people with COPD, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Loneliness appears to be a more important risk factor for symptom exacerbations and acute health service use among adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than asthma, according to study findings published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings. "Given the long-term suffering involved among those with COPD, feelings of loneliness may grow more meaningful over time, whereas those with asthma may be less impacted given the acute nature of the symptomology," wrote corresponding author Patric J. Leukel and colleagues. The study compared the relative association of loneliness and low social support with respiratory he

high fructose corn syrup intolerance :: Article Creator What To Know About Fructose Intolerance Fructose intolerance is a condition that occurs when the body is unable to absorb or metabolize fructose, a natural sugar in many fruits, vegetables, and sweeteners. People with this condition often experience a variety of symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Complications can sometimes be more severe, potentially affecting liver and kidney function. Fructose intolerance can develop from various factors, including genetics, dietary habits, and issues with the transportation of fructose in the gut. Estimates suggest that 40% of the Western hemisphere may experience some form of fructose intolerance, but the severity and symptoms can vary depending on the type. Treatment involves dietary changes to improve symptoms and overall quality of life. Fructose intolerance can be classified into two main types: fructose malabsorp
