Is it a food allergy?
Using a food diary can be helpful when a certain food is a suspected trigger of anaphylaxis. In the food diary, record all foods or beverages consumed, including condiments, and any related symptoms which were experienced and at what time of the day these symptoms occurred. Your doctor will use this recorded information to help determine if there is a potential food allergy.
