My Food Diary: A Simple Food, Beverage, Medicine and Supplement Log To Identify Allergy Triggers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781724082145)

Some common illnesses are actually allergy diseases or allergic reactions.

These include: hay fever (allergic rhinitis), asthma, sinusitis (inflammation of the nasal sinuses which starts with runny, stuffy nose and facial pain), otitis media (an ear infection), eczema, hives, and angioedema or non-itchy swelling.

More often than not, patients are prescribed steroids for these illnesses and the dosage increased if the symptoms do not improve. If better results are still not achieved, doctors will probably order an allergy test then recommend food, beverage, herb elimination or medicine replacement. And after a period of time, the doctor will ask if your symptoms have improved.

But with this food log/ diary, you may be able to wisely shorten the process mentioned above, and avoid using more steroids than necessary.

By recording and observing the effects on your body of the food, beverage, medicine, and supplements (including herbs) you regularly take, you might be able to hone in the likely cause(s) of your symptoms and discuss it with your doctor on your next visit. Moreover, you will be more informed to decide if you need extra steroid or an elimination process of possible triggers will suffice.
