I had terrible rashes for a while, that came on and off, and couldn't work out what was causing it, although I never had a blood test. It turned out that it was caused by stress, but some decent anti-histamines sorted it out. Hasn't returned since, touch wood.
I think it's soya milk. I mentioned this to mum earlier who tried telling me 'oh you can't be. You've been having it on & off for years'.:rolleyes: And I've also had cow's milk on & off for years and can't have it now. (as I discovered this morning, the reactions are both the same - stomach ache, wind and the runs)
It's worth asking though.
That sounds more like an intolerance than an allergy (allergic symptoms are more like swelling, rashes, itching, wheezing, etc). I'm not sure if there are any tests that will detect an intolerance.
To be honest, though, soya milk is not exactly something that's difficult to avoid. Wouldn't it be easier to just not have it again if it makes you ill?
Maybe. But I also allergic to cows' milk and can't have anything (apart from toast - which isn't that filling) for brealfast.
