Ke ʻānai nei hoʻi ʻoe i ka wā e ʻai ai ʻoe i kekahi mau meaʻai? A i ʻole ke kihe nei ʻoe ke honi ʻoe i ka lepo? I kekahi manawa hiki i kēia mau mea ke lilo i mau hōʻailona o kahi maʻi allergy. No laila, inā kānalua kāu kauka i kēia, e kuhikuhi paha ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kahi allergist e loaʻa ai kahi hōʻailona kūpono. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka maʻi allergy.

He aha ka nīnau a ke kauka iā ʻoe?

ʻAe, i kēia manawa ke hele ʻoe e ʻike i kēia kauka allergist, e nīnau mua ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kekahi mau nīnau. ʻO kēia mau nīnau e hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ai i kou kūlana. E nānā kākou i kā lākou e nīnau ai:

• "He aha nā hōʻailona āu e ʻike nei?" ʻO ia hoʻi, loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hives ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā meaʻai? Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻeha o ka puʻu? Paʻakikī anei kou hanu ʻana? A i ʻole ke kihe nei ʻoe a i ʻole he mau maka ʻulaʻula? Pono ʻoe e haʻi mai iā mākou i nā mea āpau āu e manaʻo ai. ʻOiai inā he mea liʻiliʻi ia, hiki ke lilo i mea nui.
• "ʻEhia pinepine e ʻike ʻia ai kēia mau hōʻailona?" I kēlā me kēia lā? Ma kahi o hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule? A i ʻole kākaʻikahi? E kōkua kēia i ke kauka e hoʻomaopopo i ka nui o kēia hopena i kou ola.
• "Pehea ka wikiwiki ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i kahi meaʻai e hoʻomaka ai kēia mau hōʻailona?" Hiki i kekahi poʻe ke maʻi i loko o nā minuke o ka ʻai ʻana. No kekahi poʻe, hiki ke hala i nā hola ma hope. He mea nui e pololei e pili ana i kēia. No ka laʻana, inā ʻoe i ʻai i kekahi mau pīni a ua maʻi i loko o 10 mau minuke, e haʻi i kāu kauka .
• "Aia kekahi o ka ʻohana i loaʻa i nā maʻi allergies? A i ʻole he mau maʻi e like me ka eczema a i ʻole ka hānō?" Hiki i kekahi mau maʻi allergies ke holo i loko o nā ʻohana. No laila he mea nui kēia ʻike no lākou. Inā loaʻa i kou makuahine, kou makuakāne, a i ʻole kou mau kaikaina kēia mau pilikia, e haʻi iā lākou.

Ma waho aʻe o kēia mau nīnau, hiki i ke kauka ke nīnau iā ʻoe e pili ana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe ai a me kou nohona. E haʻi iā ia i nā mea āpau me ka makaʻu ʻole a me ke kānalua ʻole. Ma kēlā ʻano, e maʻalahi ka ʻike ʻana i ka maʻi pololei.

He aha kēia mau hoʻāʻo ʻili?

Ma hope o ke noi ʻana iā ʻoe no kēia mau kikoʻī, e hoʻoholo paha kāu kauka e hana i kahi hoʻāʻo ʻili. ʻO kēia ke ala maʻalahi loa i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia e ʻike i nā maʻi allergies.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, eia ka mea e hana ʻia:

E kau ke kauka a kahu maʻi paha i kahi liʻiliʻi loa o kahi mea (kapa mākou he allergen) ma ka ʻili o kou lima a i ʻole ke kua a lākou e manaʻo nei he maʻi ʻoe. E noʻonoʻo iā ia he ʻāpana pollen liʻiliʻi, a i ʻole kahi ʻano meaʻai liʻiliʻi. A laila, e hana lākou i kahi ʻōpala liʻiliʻi loa a i ʻole kahi kui liʻiliʻi me ka piko o ka nila. ʻAʻole e ʻeha nui kēia, ʻeā? E like ia me kahi nahu namu liʻiliʻi.

Ma hope o kēlā, pono ʻoe e kali no 15 mau minuke e ʻike i ka mea e hana ʻia.

Inā he maʻi ʻoe i kekahi mea, e ʻulaʻula ka wahi āu i kahakaha ai, e pehu iki, a hoʻomaka e maneʻo, e like me ka nahu ʻana o kahi makika.

Inā manaʻo kāu kauka he maʻi ʻoe i nā mea he nui, a inā ʻaʻole maopopo ka mea āu e maʻi ai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo i kou ʻili ma ke kau ʻana i kekahi mau allergens ma luna o ia mea i ka manawa hoʻokahi.

Ma hope o kēia hoʻāʻo ʻili, hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo i ka maneʻo ma nā wahi i hana ʻia ai ka hoʻāʻo no kekahi manawa. He mea maʻamau kēia. Mai hopohopo no ia mea. E hāʻawi paha ke kauka iā ʻoe i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau (kahi antihistamine) a i ʻole kahi ʻaila (kahi kirīmi steroid) e hōʻemi i ka maneʻo.

He aha inā he "Positive" ka hopena o kahi hoʻāʻo ʻili no ka meaʻai?

E noʻonoʻo ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hoʻāʻo ʻili e ʻike ai inā he maʻi ʻoe i nā pīni a ua hoʻi mai "Positive", ʻo ia hoʻi ua ʻulaʻula a maneʻo ʻoe e like me ka mea i wehewehe ʻia. ʻO ia hoʻi ke ʻano he maʻi ʻoe i kēlā meaʻai. ʻAʻole ia he 100% maopopo. I ia mau hihia, hiki i ke kauka ke hoʻoholo e hana i kekahi mau hoʻokolohua hou aʻe.

He aha nā hoʻokolohua ʻē aʻe i hana ʻia e ʻike ai i nā maʻi allergies?

Ma waho aʻe o nā hoʻāʻo ʻili, aia kekahi mau ala ʻē aʻe e nānā ai i nā maʻi allergies.

Nā hoʻāʻo koko

No ka ʻike pono ʻana inā he maʻi allergy kou i kahi meaʻai kikoʻī, hiki i kāu kauka ke kauoha i kahi hoʻāʻo koko. Pili kēia i ka lawe ʻana i kahi hāpana liʻiliʻi loa o kou koko a hoʻouna aku i kahi lab.

Ma laila, ke ʻimi nei lākou i nā antibodies i kapa ʻia ʻo "IgE antibodies" i loko o kou koko i hana ʻia e kūʻē i nā meaʻai kikoʻī. Inā he nui kāu o kēia mau "IgE antibodies" e kūʻē i kahi meaʻai, he mea hiki loa ke maʻi ʻoe i kēlā meaʻai.

I ka manawa pinepine, hoʻohana nā kauka i nā hoʻāʻo ʻili a me nā hoʻāʻo koko e hiki ai i kahi hopena e pili ana i kahi maʻi allergy meaʻai.

Hoʻāʻo Hoʻokūkū Meaʻai

E noʻonoʻo ʻaʻole i hāʻawi mai ka hoʻāʻo ʻili a me ke koko i kahi pane maopopo. I kēlā manawa, e hoʻoholo paha ke kauka e hana i kahi hoʻāʻo i kapa ʻia ʻo "Food Challenge". He ʻano hoʻāʻo ʻokoʻa iki kēia.

ʻO ka mea e hana ʻia ma kēia, ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻia ʻana iā ʻoe i ka nui o ka meaʻai āu e manaʻo ai he maʻi ʻoe. Hana ʻia kēia mau mea a pau ma lalo o ka nānā ʻana a ke kauka. Nānā ʻo ia e ʻike inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau hōʻailona.

He mea nui loa kēia: No ka mea, hiki i nā maʻi ʻaleka meaʻai ke hoʻoulu i nā hopena koʻikoʻi loa i kekahi poʻe, pono e hana ʻia kēia hoʻāʻo "Food Challenge" ma kahi e loaʻa ai ke kauka, ma ko lākou keʻena a i ʻole ma ka haukapila. No ka mea, inā loaʻa kahi hopena maʻi ʻaleka koʻikoʻi koke, pono e loaʻa nā lāʻau lapaʻau e pono ai a me ke kōkua loea ma laila.

I ka manawa pinepine, hana ʻia kēia ʻano hoʻāʻo e ʻike inā ua hala kekahi i kahi maʻi allergy ma mua. No ka laʻana, hiki i kahi keiki i maʻi allergy i ka waiū i kona wā kamaliʻi ke hana i kahi "Food Challenge" e ʻike inā aia nō ia i ka wā e ʻelemakule iki ai lākou.

ʻAe, pehea inā hōʻoia kahi hoʻokolohua he maʻi allergy kou?

E noʻonoʻo, ma hope o kēlā mau hoʻokolohua a pau, ʻike hope ʻoe he maʻi ʻoe i kekahi mea. I kēia manawa, mai hopohopo, ʻeā? ʻAʻole ia ka hopena o ke ao.

E hana pū kāu kauka me ʻoe e hana i kahi hoʻolālā e mālama iā ʻoe. Pili kēia mau lāʻau lapaʻau i ke ʻano o ka maʻi allergy āu e loaʻa ai.

He mea kēia e pono ai ʻoe e makaʻala iki. I ke kūʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai mai ka hale kūʻai, i ka heluhelu ʻana i ka lepili ma kahi pūʻolo, pono ʻoe e makaʻala i kēia mau mea.

Eia kekahi, e kuhikuhi kāu kauka iā ʻoe i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo epinephrine e hoʻohana i ka wā pilikia. Pono ʻoe e mālama mau i kēia me ʻoe, a e hoʻohana inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi allergies koʻikoʻi. E aʻo pū kāu kauka iā ʻoe pehea e hoʻohana ai.
