noodle allergy

Sent to Health Experts September 26 11:32 AM

About 5 years ago I became allergic to noodles. All kinds except rice noodles. I get so sick that death would be preffered. I have it right now because I did not see a tiny chunck of a noodle in a resaurant meal. When I get sick, I fart out of my mouth      ( believe me I can clear a house) and the taste is unimaginal and also have severe diarrea for 7 to 10 days and usually end up in the hospital dehydrated. Is there any thing I can do to stop the symptoms and reverse the problem befor it starts?

 

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 44

Already Tried:

You need to see an allergist to be tested to determine WHAT you are allergic to. "Noodles" may contain a number of ingredients - basically flour (eggs in some) - but it would be one of the ingredients in the noodle.

An allergist could test to determine the exact cause - and may be able to offer you some help. Usually with food allergies - avoidance is the best approach. If they can identify the specific component - wheat flour for example - they may be able to find noodles that do not contain the particular ingredient. (Such as your discovery that rice noodles are OK)
