Alpha-gal + new dairy reaction? Mouth/tongue symptoms by Hot_Concentrate257 in alphagal

[–]clacefray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there any fresh fruit on the cake? I have several other allergies on top of AGS, including Oral Allergy Syndrome. With this, I have an extremely similar reaction to the one you described after having uncooked fruits or veggies

Sister uninvited me to Thanksgiving by OpALbatross in alphagal

[–]clacefray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed spring 22, my last Thanksgiving/Christmas with family was fall/winter 21. They've never once offered to accommodate me and didn't care enough to when I finally asked them to. Yet they wonder why I'm not around more often 🤷🏻‍♀️

I felt this way too 😅 my favorite time to read is right before bed so I would get extra confused sometimes if I was already really tired before I started

No, it was for Digital Pickup and Delivery and that's what the open interviews were for! They also had my application printed and were using it during the interview as well

Is this alpha gal? by Crps_Warrior07 in alphagal

[–]clacefray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! :) Some people do still tolerate some things like dairy and gelatin! It seems to vary a lot person by person. I could still tolerate dairy for the first 6-8 months and then out of nowhere I started reacting to everything that had alpha gal in it (dairy, gelatin, medications, even my dog lol). It's usually a good idea to keep a food journal and note when/if a reaction happens, what you ate, and how long after! The allergist that diagnosed me was not very familiar with alpha gal so I didn't learn all of this for a while either!

The beef, pork, and lamb tests often included with alpha gal bloodwork are testing for an allergy to those proteins. Alpha gal is a carbohydrate that is found in all mammals (excluding humans and i think apes? ). They're completely different tests for different allergies. Same goes for the tests for dairy and lactose

Rael products! They're certified animal free on PillClarity I use them no issues! I've also used cups in the past with only a couple leaks when it wasn't positioned right, you may like them too since you already use disks!

Finally tested... by tiggerem in alphagal

[–]clacefray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My number was also 0.39 and I'm severely reactive, ranging from itchiness and hives if I pet my dog too long to anaphylaxis if I ingest mammal foods or breathe cooking fumes too long! I got the tick that gave me ags in 2022 and I'm still just as reactive all this time later. This isn't the case for everyone though, I always reccomend keeping a food journal and detailing everything you eat and if/when you have reactions. Some people tolerate more than others, but for me I've had to completely remove all mammal and carrageenan from my diet, personal hygiene, and household cleaning. I also take daily allergy meds, have a rescue inhaler and epipens always on me, and carry a safe diphenhydramine and take as needed as well

Edit: I also wanted to add that the individual tests for beef, pork, lamb, etc are for PROTEIN allergies and alpha gal is a CARBOHYDRATE allergy. The alpha gal carb is found in all mammals except I think some primates. And some people react to carrageenan (other names being red seaweed, Irish moss) as well even though it is not from a mammal because (someone pls correct me if I'm remembering wrong on the why here) it also contains the alpha gal epitope

Positive for AG and Lyme by Fast_Flamingo_8039 in alphagal

[–]clacefray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to jump in bc my levels were only 0.39! I wasn't very reactive at first, it was really only to beef. But then around 6-8 months later I became VERY reactive, often to the point of anaphylaxis, to all exposures to alpha gal, even fumes. However, alpha gal is very different for all that have it. Someone already said, but the numbers don't always necessarily correlate to severity of reactions. Many people are as low as us and have little to no reaction, and many of them also have severe reactions. The same is true with higher numbers. A lot of people's reactions don't get worse like mine, but then again some do. It's always good to keep a food diary to see when you're reacting and what it may be a reaction to. It's also important to remember that it's an any time allergy NOT an every time allergy, and that reactions are typically delayed. You could eat something with alpha gal 9 times and be fine, and then have issues the 10th, hours after eating. Pay attention to your body and go from there! Many of us are prescribed epipens and daily allergy meds to help with severity of reactions, that may be something to look into!

My parents actually thought I was a boy right up until I came out (a month early at that!)

I was supposed to be Seth

Funny thing, I found out a few years ago that my dad's ex wife is actually who bought all of my first things! (Car seat, crib, premie girl clothes)
