Allergy Symptoms

by Allergy Guy

Allergy symptoms can be hard to relate to a specific allergy.

This section provides a list of allergy symptoms and their descriptions, to help you identify and understand specific health issues.

Most are allergy, gluten or celiac related, but some are related to other health issues.

A single symptom rarely indicates a specific disease. More often, it is a group of symptoms and other circumstances.

The funny thing about allergies and sensitivities is that a group of people can have a reaction to exactly the same food, but all have a different reaction.

This seems to be especially true for delayed reactions.

This is especially true with allergies, where different people may have the same symptoms, but different allergies, or the same allergy but different symptoms.

Symptoms Definition


Symptoms are the specific experiences you feel when you are sick. Some may be visible, such as a rash, others may be invisible, such as pain or brain-fog.

Symptoms are considered to be those experiences noticeable by the patient, for example, brain fog.. A sign is also visible to others, such as a rash.

A set of symptoms together are often typical of a specific disease.

For delayed-onset allergies, this is often not the case. Each patient may experience a set of symptoms specific only to them.

Allergy Symptoms List


Here is a list of allergy symptoms. Note that most people with allergies will not get all of these symptoms. You may only have one or two, you may have quite a long list.

Also, having several of these symptoms does not automatically mean you have an allergy. You are advised to see a doctor to make a definite determination.

vinegar allergy

my husband has been eating foods with vinegar for the past 13years. Last week after dinner he reacted with tongue and parts of his face swelling,was injected and got better. The doctor who was treating him said that he’d have died hadn’t he gone to hospital immediately. What is happening to him?

Could be many things …

I’m sure your husband had more than just vinegar for dinner!

Most likely it was something else that he ate (if it wasn’t an airborne allergen).

my sister is deathly

my sister is deathly allergic to vinegar. Her throat swells shut after eating anything with vinegar. She can touch vinegar and her hands will swell. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not allergic to vinegar. It is your life not theirs

Hi. I am allergic to onion

Hi. I am allergic to onion and garlic. If you put either of these things in vinegar, they become deadly to me. Go to your doctor and try to find the cause. In my case, I had to go to an allergist and have a blood test to discover the cause. Onions and Garlic! Hope this helps.

May God bless you and your family

I have never suffered from an allergy or intolerance that I know of, however recently I have been getting indigestion, heartburn, bad reflux and belching after eating things for my breakfast i.e marmite on toast. Can somebody tell me does this sound like a slight yeast intolerance? Thank you…

One can’t say for sure just by your description, but it is possible.

Try cutting yeast and sugar (sugar drives yeast) from your diet and see what happens.
