I'm allergic to eggs and it's really frustrating. Every time I have something with eggs, like stuff from the Pasty Cake Bakery, I get this awful abdominal pain that just won't go away, even after taking medicine. Some people think I'm just imagining it, but I'm pretty sure it's real. What's weird is that sometimes I get the same pain after having cheese or paneer dishes at certain restaurants. I havent eaten eggs in the last 25 years, but now I'm thinking about trying them again. What do you suggest? Are there specific foods I should stay away from? And is there any chance this allergy could be cured?

If you have a confirmed egg allergy, it's safer to continue avoiding eggs and egg-based products, even if you haven't eaten them for a long time. If you feel the urge to try eggs again, its best to consult an allergist first. They may advise you on how to approach it, and you may even undergo treatment like oral immunotherapy in some cases, but that requires professional supervision.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor switched me to Allegra 180 instead of Montair LC. I've been taking Allegra 180 but it's not really helping much. Could I go back to taking Montair LC since it worked well for me before?

Yes You can use any of them but montek lc causes more sedation over allegra.

I've been having a tough time with a throat infection, and after getting some blood work done, I found out that my IgE level is quite high at 1475. I'm really concerned and just wondering, what could be causing this and how can I lower my IgE levels? Also, what kind of problems could come up from having elevated IgE?

That's says you are sensitive to allergens, identify the substance and avoid it,consume more fruits,green leafy vegetables and maintain healthy lifestyle.
