I just recently started breaking out in hives and finaly got into the dermatoligist today and she said it is a food or medicine allergy. Just curious what is the most common food allergy? I eat the same thing everyday so I don't understand why the sudden reaction. any advice would help me.

Your best bet is too see an allergist. From what I know you have to look at what has changed(not just diet). Anything from laundry soap to a/c filters, etc.

I did and they said it was something I was eating by mouth. They can't do all the testing on me due to my health situations so I have to take a long route to figure it out.

Hey there... I'm not a doctor so I obviously can't tell you what's wrong but I can tell you that sometimes allergies don't make sense. I used to eat peanut butter and all nut related foods on a daily basis, I'd eat peanut butter right out of the jar.... until Feb 10, 2006 that is, that's when I ate an "uncrustable" (one of those prepackaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) and I found myself in the hospital! After numerous blood and skin tests, they determined that I was highly allergic to nuts. I refused to believe it but scared enough to listen... my allergist explained that it's pretty common for adults to develop allergies. So at 23 years old I found myself learning all about this allergy and how some sort of nut is in just about everything. All I can say is be very careful and like Pat said, See an Allergist!!!
