Vietnamese food allergy?

I ate at a new Vietnamese restaruant the other day and I think I had an allergic reaction to something I ate. My sister noticed that I was getting hives on my face although I felt fine. We left right after that. When we were pulling out of the parking lot, my heart started racing, I felt a cold rush down into my legs, a strong itchy tickle in the back of my throat and I felt really weird. I made my sister drive towards the hospital and on the way she stopped and got me liquid Benedryl. We sat in the parking lot for about 20 minutes until I felt better.

I don't have any prior food allergies, but I get a rash from penicillin and hives when I am near a flowering Peace Lily.

We ate beef with pan fried flat noodles and a tamarind-based soup that we added tomatoes, green onions, okra, bean sprouts, and something I've never seen before. It looked spongy, but was crisp. We asked what it was and were told it was a long leaf (maybe Vietnamese rhubarb?)

Any ideas?

There might have been a sauce you had a reaction to. Maybe there was MSG in the food. Defiantly go to the doctor... It sounds that you might have had beginning signs of anaphalaxis... which can cause your throat to swell and is life threading. She will have you do an allergy test, she might even prescribe you an Epi-Pen if you should have these symptoms again and end up with anaphalaxis.

Must Vietnamese food is cook with Oil Fish. You probably have an allergy or intolerance reaction to it. I used to eat at this Vietnamese restaurants, and for months i used to get sick from intestinal blotting. I stopped eating there, and I NEVER GOT SICK AGAIN! Hope this helps. Report It

Yeah. Go see a Doctor.

No, but I've heard stories of people getting veneral diseases when the chef wanked off in their food. No joke.

The beef with noodles sounds good though. Any left overs?
