I posted this on another board but so far no answers...thought someone here might know the answer.

Does anyone know the symptons of having an allergy to mushrooms?

I have always eaten them with no problem. I started lc on March 5 of this year, about 2 weeks into it I broke out in a rash all over (not a real visable rash but itched like crazy and nothing would stop it) of course I scratched and then tiny red itchy bumps started appearing. Nothing showed on skin until scratching took place...(sorry if you are starting to itch )

I went to the dermatologist to have it checked and of course he had no clue...gave me a perscription for allergy medicine to help with the itching and a perscription for $40.00 a tube cream...which lasted about 3 days...and it didn't help.

I'm in 5 week and the itching has subsided.....until.....I ate some more mushrooms last night. I started out having them on all of my salads and maybe a few in my eggs when I started induction but for the past couple of weeks haven't been having them much.

Last night my arms started itching like crazy again...and for some reason mushroom allergy popped into my head...am I crazy or is this a possibility? I have never had any allergies before and have always loved mushrooms.

Is it possible for this wol to trigger some new reaction?
What might be some other possible side effects to an allergy.

Hope I made sense...I have trouble putting thoughts together where anyone but me can understand....and I don't always understand me.

Thanks
