What causes vomiting after consuming seafood?
Patient: I ve gotten sick after eating seafood; the first time it was a small amount of clam dip and the second time a couple months later it was flounder. Both times nobody else who ate it got sick. Both times the EXACT same symptoms occurred. Ate it for dinner; woke up at 4:45am vomiting... I vomited for a couple hours and then stopped. This was 5 years ago and I have stayed away from seafood ever since and have not had any issues whatsoever... I went to my doctor who tested me for all allergies and I am NOT allergic to ANYTHING; so I m told. What could this be? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Your history and symptoms are suggestive of allergic manifestations, you are allergic to sea foods. I would suggest you to undergo lab investigations like CBC and absolute eosinohil count (AEC). AEC is an indicator of allergy in the body.To confirm that you are allergic to sea foods I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test with different most consumable sea food, this will helps to confirm the allergy to different sea food.You can avoid the sea food to which you are allergic or you can prefer immunotherapy. You can apt for either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sub lingual immunotherapy (SLIT).For the present symptoms I would suggest you to take Tab Montek LC, once in night for minimum of 15 days.Thank you.
