I am new to this group. I was diagnosed with being critically allergic to beef and molds when I was 11 yrs old. I was sick most of my childhood until this discovery was made. Is anyone else allergic to beef? I sometimes get so frustrated b/c people tend to think Im faking it and dont believe me....

" My younger sister was allergic to beef as a child. She eats it now which she probably shouldn't, but she's a young adult and thinks she knows it all! You are definitely not faking it! There is such a thing.... "

" I am deadly allergic to several foods, latex, and allergic to several pollens. I completely understand. Lide anything else, some people lack empathy or just don't care. What I have done is got copies of my results and have shown them to some people. My family and friends are not an issue they are very supportive, but people at work thinks I am obsessing on it or a hypchondriac. You do not have to show your results but if things get bad you have your backup and the rest can just buzz off. What has compicated my situation is I have recently been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Good luck and be careful "

" I'm super allergic to beef - I'm allergic to pork and lamb too (and a bunch of other stuff).

My mother-in-law thinks I'm faking it. She gets all upset about my food allergies... she has issues.

Have you consulted with an immunologist since becoming an adult? It might be worthwhile. "
