I have been going into anaphylactic shock over and over since November 2012. This blog is to help me and others figure out why. I have not been able to get a diagnosis from any of the tests given or doctors seen. In 2020 I found out that this is called Alpha Gal Syndrome. If you have this problem or know someone that has it please share your experience.

2017 - Anaphylactic Episode 50
NOT AGAIN!
On Tuesday September 12, I went into a weird allergic response to something and was having severe stomach pain. The stomach issues started the day before and kept me up all night. Then the next day I knew it was necessary to call an ambulance. All the symptoms of Anaphylaxis were present except my throat was clear and I did not need the epi-pen at first.
It was a mild response compared to some of the others. The doctors and nurses provided care and I went home. Later in the day it was coming back! I went back to the hospital fully aware that this was one of those that was going to be slow and painful. After an hour of waiting for a bed I was able to get the care needed to stop my pain and nausea. We went home.
In about 2 hours at home I started to flush and itch. My throat was closing. So, I used my epi-pen, took some Benadryl and some more allergy pills then waited it out. Wednesday, I stayed home from work to recover from the foggy brain from all the meds.
Today, Thursday I am back at work. I still have some brain fog from all of the meds. Nevertheless, it is nice to be feeling better. So, in thinking this through I realized that it must have been the new Probiotic I took on Sunday. All of my symptoms point to it. I threw it in the trash. Hopefully, this will be the last one for a while.
Thought you should know...
