EPD

Should EPD be included under treatment? It's debatable if it works or not, but it is available in Canada and Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_Potentiated_Desensitisation

Food allergy vs food intolerance

New information from Protein allergy

There's been a big migration of information from the article formerly known as Protein allergy to this page. I'm going to start going over the content to reduce the amount of duplication (there's bound to be some) and checking to be sure all of the citations migrated correctly. Any and all help with this would be appreciated!!! Jhfortier (talk) 05:13, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I would like to welcome you and your class to Wikipedia. If you need access to any journal articles drop me a note and I may be able to help access them.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:22, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the kind words; I'm actually not involved in the educational project. I ended up involved in the article through a peer review request. Thank you, though, I'm sure if the editors involved with the educational project need help on other articles they'd be happy to have an experienced editor to talk to!

I think the talk from protein allergy should also be migrated here. I'll leave this to someone else, because I'm only paying a little attention to this merge and I don't want to disrupt on-going work. ike9898 (talk) 12:56, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Jhfortier (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rice allergy

How common are allergic reactions to rice? I had a bad allergy to rice as an infant but I outgrew it. My father has always been allergic to it, but not as bad as I was. It just gives him an upset stomach. 66.232.94.33 (talk) 00:52, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Onion allergy

Is there any data on how many people are allergic to onions? http://www.instah.com/allergies/onion-allergy/ I watched one episode (which was one too many) of Pamela Anderson's TV show where she went to a Mexican restaurant and ordered a dish without onions. It was served with a huge amount of onions so she sent it back, saying that she was allergic to onions, "That could kill me!". I never thought of anyone being allergic to onions before seeing that. 66.232.94.33 (talk) 03:27, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
