A Trip to the Dermatologist with Alpha-Gal: What to Expect, Safe Adhesives, and More!
A recent trip to the dermatologist led to minor surgery for skin cancer and an allergic reaction to adhesive bandages! Not the best time of my life. Navigating healthcare with Alpha-Gal Syndrome is always difficult, because there are so many meds and other products (like band-aids!) that have mammal ingredients, and can cause an allergic reaction. In this blog I share some tips for going to the dermatologist with Alpha-Gal, along with safe adhesive bandage brands. Check it out!
What to Expect After an Alpha-Gal Syndrome Diagnosis: Dealing With a New Severe Allergy
My Alpha-Gal Syndrome diagnosis turned my life upside-down. My family raised cattle...and suddenly I could no longer have beef? Or any mammal products? After a trip to the ER, I lived in fear of having another anaphylactic episode. Nothing felt safe to eat. Reactions like these are completely normal, and we all go through a lifestyle 'reset' when diagnosed with AGS. You're not alone. In this blog I share about my experience following my diagnosis. May it help you in your journey!
