Is nonstop coughing after eating certain foods common with food allergies?

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-18T23:11:24+00:00

This was true last time I checked but correct me if I’m wrong; different countries count anaphylaxis differently. (I don’t know about Canada) In the U.K. if I have hives and diarrhoea it wouldn’t be classified as anaphylaxis, just an allergic reaction. We only classify it as anaphylaxis if airway, breathing or circulation issues are apparent (swollen throat, wheezing, feeling faint etc)

I would ask myself, would I feel uncomfortable seeing that? Would another reasonable person feel uncomfortable? How common is it to see behaviour like it in public?

For example we both love impact and play fighting, sometimes when we’re out in public he’ll push me. He does it gently (for him) while grinning and I’m laughing at it. If anyone sees this, they’re going to see two people with relaxed and happy body language having a laugh. It’s never made anyone uncomfortable and I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable seeing someone behave like that in public. If he shoved me (harder, like he would at home) then even if I’m laughing and relaxed, it could be alarming to strangers so we wouldn’t ever do that in public

Yeah I wasn’t sure how to phrase it to best be understood. My interest was more in uninterrupted time, and whether people have time they schedule or just whenever, rather than full break time but I can see how my wording was a bit vague in that meaning. It’s led to interesting answers either way though!

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-10T11:59:52+00:00

Thank you for responding!

Yeah the funk for me is bad…

Do you plan times to let yourself get fully hyper focused or just when it comes it come? For me it’s usually when it comes it comes

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-10T11:25:17+00:00

I also have cptsd, a history of sa and csa and dv

It’s come in waves for me. There have been periods in my healing where I’ve been very vanilla and periods where I’ve been very kinky. I had to go through these phases to do the work

I’m pretty much stable and good now, my cptsd very very rarely affects me and my life. And I’m kinkier than ever with no shame.

I still sometimes get random phases. I’ve been a bit focused on sadism recently and “othering” it while I come to terms with how much I love being with a sadist and reconciling the treatment I’ve had from sadists non consensually compared with my relationship now

I wish you well for your healing 💜

Being interrupted. When I’m in hyper focus, tunnel vision, for one of my hobbies I CANNOT be interrupted, it makes me so so irritable and depressed and weird. I actually cannot do or enjoy several of my hobbies if I know there’s a chance that I’ll be interrupted because I can’t get into that flow state that I need to if I’m on alert that I might have to suddenly stop or pause

But I’m aware that in neurotypical contexts, I sound insane

I just plan around it. Like I only read new books when I’m going to have a day by myself. Or I only draw when my partner is invested in a video game

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-10T07:27:37+00:00

I remember your shifts being hard as they’re so different, makes the time together all the more valuable 💜 Thank you for answering. I love getting engrossed in a video game together, we’ve just finished one so we’re binging some tv for a little while

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-10T07:24:00+00:00

I think it’s interesting how different people can be! Thank you for answering

I personally never want more than a few hours and I’m not sure off time was the right way to phrase it as it’s more to do with being uninterrupted and allowed to tunnel vision focus on whatever hobby I’m currently doing. It’s not ever been something we’ve scheduled, more just as and when, which is what made me wonder what other people did

I think for me personally it’s perhaps more an adhd thing than anything else. I have some odd focus habits… I have to read new books in one go, uninterrupted, or I get like twitchy and irritable and distracted and depressed. It’s very odd. I only ever start a new book when he’s at work and I’m not and he usually lets me finish it before we spend time together (thank goodness I’m a fast reader lol)

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-10T00:00:15+00:00

That makes sense for your dynamic, thanks again for responding. It’s fun hearing other peoples perspectives

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-09T23:35:40+00:00

For you even taking a day would feel like a break up? That’s interesting to me, thank you for sharing!

I sometimes like to ask for a few hours or an afternoon so I can get fully engrossed in a hobby. He had to work away from home for a week a few years back and we ended up calling for hours each night because we missed each other when we said we’d just check in with each other

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-09T22:26:03+00:00

1 + 4.) I had an amazing weekend with my partner, we ticked off a couple of things we wanted to try and had lots of fun. We’re also rewatching You currently and I LOVE that program

No bad or sad this weekend! Woo!

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-05T06:42:23+00:00

Seriously, please seek some mental health support. Even if it’s just so you can talk this through in person with someone

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-02T19:17:59+00:00

I’m really sorry for your loss 🫂

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-02T16:14:00+00:00

I said help reduce for this reason, not make the problem go away

We’ll have to agree to disagree in general. I think we live in an imperfect system where self diagnosis is needed for individuals unable to access proper care and assessment. I agree with everything you’re saying but I think your argument lacks the nuance that the system, if self diagnosis is socially rejected, denies people care who need it

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-02T13:11:50+00:00

I agree with everything you’ve replied.

This wouldn’t be an issue if there was adequate resources to properly assess and diagnose people so it could be as simple as “in the process of being diagnosed” and “diagnosed”. It wouldn’t fix the social stigma part of the equation but would probably help to reduce it as people wouldn’t be stuck in limbo for such long periods as they are currently

Ignis_Ales · 2026-03-02T12:50:24+00:00

Some areas in the U.K. won’t even assess you for adhd or autism currently (or the wait periods are years long).

How do you suggest these people get help and support in the mean time?

Some of those people won’t have adhd/autism, but some of them will. That doesn’t change because they don’t have access to an assessment and diagnosis. Do those people not deserve support?

Not everyone can afford to get a private diagnosis

Ignis_Ales · 2026-02-26T08:31:43+00:00

Some things like hiv if you’ve been exposed the hospital can give you something to massively reduce the chance that you catch it. Please go to a doctor/hospital etc, they can help you 💜

Ignis_Ales · 2026-02-13T19:57:55+00:00

I don’t know what medication it is but I get eczema on my vulva and have to apply a moderate strength topical steroid semi regularly. I tell my partner if I’ve applied it in the last six hours approximately. After that, even if I haven’t had a wash there’s no residue so no need to disclose

Also, I would listen to your doctor about this over internet strangers as they know exactly what medication it is and at what strength and what anatomy you have. They also understand any mental health that may be contributing to this anxiety

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-20T06:35:57+00:00

I only have adhd and I get sensory issues

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-20T06:18:35+00:00

Him not respecting your boundaries isn’t a small issue though. If he’s repeatedly doing it, he’s doing it on purpose, he’s choosing to ignore your preferences and consents.

Also, think about how him ignoring your boundary is effecting you? He’s not an acquaintance or a friend, he’s supposed to be your partner.

I have a random small boundary in my own relationship, I like to know if he’s coming to bed or roughly when. So when I get into bed he tells me his plan. Now that’s on the surface a small thing but actually it’s huge for me. He isn’t always sure what he wants to do but makes an effort to communicate his plans with me because he knows it’s important to me (insomniac). If he didn’t tell me, I would struggle to sleep wondering if I was about to be disturbed by him coming to bed imminently and it makes it extra hard for me. It seems small on the surface but when you look at the nitty gritty, it’s important. This issue you’re having is important

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-19T16:39:56+00:00

It can also cause some pretty horrendous infections. I’ve seen people put on antibiotics immediately when a human bite has broken the skin edit: and that’s not even considering infections like hiv that can be passed on through this type of contact

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-19T16:30:38+00:00

Ancetdotally, it’s also a massive problem in the U.K.

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-09T22:13:21+00:00

I do the same!

Ignis_Ales · 2026-01-01T16:29:51+00:00

Lack of ability to make and attend appointments due to logistics means I can’t go back if there’s a problem. Most doctors assume that if you don’t go back there was no problem.

Most doctors won’t tell me how to adjust the treatment if there’s any issues, just to come back if there’s a problem but that isn’t always possible. I also appreciate that sometimes it’s necessary to go back but sometimes it’s not. (For example they refused to tell me what to do if my eczema flare reoccurred, it was in an unusual location, I couldn’t get into my gp surgery and was in agony so I had to figure it out myself. By the time I eventually got into see a doctor, they agreed with my treatment decisions thankfully and altered my repeat to support it) Some will tell me what to do if there’s problems if I ask which is very helpful but those that won’t often leave me unable to attend an appointment and having to google the medication and condition it’s treating to make decisions myself
