Food Allergy pls HELP?

I have sweaty palms and feet. i'm 16 years old. I have tried alot of product but none works. i was thinking that i might have good allergy. DOes anyone know what food allergy causes it ? How much would a allergy test cost in Singapore?

Any food can cause a reaction or ill-health symptom so it could be almost anything you are eating.

There are at-home food allergy test kits on the market. A couple of labs out of the UK offer these kits and here in the US there is www.usaallergies.com. Depending on the number of items tested, the cost for these at-home kits can range from $70 - $400 US dollars.

Also, be sure to request the test that is right for you. When it comes to food allergy, there are basically two types:

* 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.

I hope this helps.

You have athletes foot and need antifungal powder.

ONE: food allergy DOES NOT cause sweaty feet. You may have a problem with your sympathetic nervous system in which YOU CAN get cured by surgery to reduce the sweaty feet issue. Food allergies will cause your IMMUNE system to create antibodies (specifically IgE) to attack food proteins. When this happens, a cascade of reactions take place such as release of histamines and other inflammatory chemicals; which in turn causes reactions that range from hives, vomitting, respiratory distress (asthma), to fatal anaphylaxis -- NEVER EVER SWEATY feet or hands. Please do not get food allergies confused with your symptoms. I can assure you that no certified allergist in Singapore will order either a RAST test (blood test) or skin prick test for your condition. You MAY be reacting to certain foods but it's NOT an allergy; it COULD be a chemical pharmacological reaction to MSG/additives/colorings. IT IS NOT A FOOD ALLERGY. Best of luck with the sweaty feet and hands.
