The symptoms you have described could be caused by an allergic reaction to any food.

At-home food allergy test kits are available through a company located at www.usaallergies.com. These kits are very accurate and reliable and their cost ranges from $70 - $400 US dollars.

Be sure to get the test that is right for you because there are two type of food allergies...

* Immediate Food Allergy (Classic, Immediate-Onset, IgE-Mediated): This allergic reaction to foods involves the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody and also involves MAST cells. It is the most understood, but least occurring immune response to foods. It only occurs in less than 2-3% of adults and less than 5% of children. The reaction time occurs anywhere from seconds to up to 2 hours and typically affects the skin, airways or the digestive system. The most commonly known response is anaphylaxis, which can result in death. This type of food allergy is typically tested in a doctor's office by means of a skin "scratch" test. Additionally, it only takes a single food to cause a reaction and it is typically a food that is rarely eaten.

* Hidden Food Allergy (Food Intolerance, Delayed-Onset, IgG-Mediated): This allergic reaction to foods involves the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody and DOES NOT involve MAST cells. It is the lesser understood, but most common immune response to foods. It occurs in anywhere from 45-60% of the general population and affects children and adults equally. The reaction time occurs anywhere from a couple of hours up to 2-3 days after consumption of the food. Any system, tissue and organ in the body can be affected and there are over 118 medical conditions/symptoms that are either caused and/or provoked by this type of allergic response to foods including, but not limited to, arthritis, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, Celiac Disease, sinus conditions, asthma and various digestive disorders. Conventional skin "scratch" testing is incapable of detecting this type of food allergy so one needs to have a blood test specifically known as an IgG ELISA Food Allergy Test. Even more intriguing is that both a single food and a combination of foods can cause a reaction and it is usually with foods that are regularly eaten.

Hope this helps.
