Hi Everyone,

I am suffering from a body rash for the last two months -- since chemo.

I just got the results from a blood test that indicates I am "highly reactive" to Egg Yolk, Egg Whites, Amaranth Flour and Almonds.

I have had allergy tests (blood and prick) a year prior to my breast cancer diagnosis but no reactions were noted at the time.

Has anyone else developed food allergies after diagnosis or after chemo?
