First, I would really appreciate if there is someone out there with medical experience that can help with the experience I'm about to share.
.
Part 1
Let me give a brief explanation of the type of being I am. From birth, I've never eaten cake of whatsoever kind. I react to it by having really itching lips and I also throw up instantaneously. I also don't eat eggs(boiled or fried) because I also react to it by throwing up; however when I was about 9 years old, my dad forced me to eat fried egg. I vomitted more than 10 times that day but eventually I started eating it. He tried the same for boiled egg but by system just refused it. I am not really happy about this cause my friends make fun of me. Even me myself can't picture what it would be like on my wedding day when me and my wife are to feed ourselves cake.

Part 2
From birth, one of my favourite food is amala( black or white). I love this food with every fibre of my being. I have also loved Turkey. Strangely, when I was in my third year in University, something very odd happened when I ordered Amala. 30 minuites after feasting on it, I could suddenly not breath the way a person should. Initially taught it was a funny kind of cold, so I went to get tom tom. Took about 9 of it but all to no avail, instead, my breathing got worst! I had to rush down to the clinic. By the time I was at the clinic, I was struggling to breath with my mouth. For the first time in my life in 20 years, I used an inhaler. Strangely, I felt better almost instantaneously.

I was indeed baffeled , so I decided to stay away from black amala for a while. After a while, I decided to go with ilafun (white amala), I swear, the same thing happened . I decided to let go of amala.

We had a dinner night at school and food was in abundance and OMG, the turkeys on the food were looking like they would require super man to lift em . Me being a: typically African feasted on the on the turkey to the bone marrow. 20 minutes later, it was like I was being choked! I was almost crying that day, not because of my inability to breath but because I knew I probably wouldn't be eating turkey again. I tried taking turkey after some weeks again but the same thing happened.

It was almost unbelievable when I started reacting to dust like I now react to Amala. I went to a military secondary school and dust never affected me in anyway.

Part 3
For those who knows this drug 'ibucap', I'm sure they know its very effective. I personally can testify to it but anytime I take the drug,my eyes would swell up like two overblown basket balls has been stuck in them. I stopped using the drug, however for a few years now, anytime I am ill, my eye balls swells up.


I was really devastated by all this unusually experience especailly because I knew if they continued, they might affect my future plans. I decided to see my university clinic matron and what she told me that day almost tore me from the inside out. She said 'people that were born asthmatic still had hope of being cured later in life but there was no hope at all for me since I'm displaying the symptoms in my 20's.

NAIRALANDERS!
I am really worried and I don't have enough to go to a standard medical hospital for a full checkup but I would really appreciate your advice on any of the above issues . Thanks and God Bless!

You've never even googled?

The difficulty in breathing is called anaphylaxis. It's a hyper-allergic reaction. Those foods you mentioned are notorious allergens. Keep off them!

There are many online communities of people suffering from allergies. It's manageable without medicines.

Check this thread. . And make use of Google before you kill yourself for lack of knowledge

Those foods you are reacting to are allergens, trigering some hyper-sensitivity reactions. I think you are still going to encounter more food allergens asides the ones you listed.
Do fish,beef,chicken or seafoods trigger this reaction?
Your system is very sensitive and you should really watch what goes into your system. Please see a doctor for proper diagnosis and corresponding treatments.
