My mom has some really bad food allergies. One thing that they know that brings it on is some kind of perservative that is in strawberries. So she has to be very careful when she gets ice cream at like Dairy Queen because thats what caused her first episode, a strawberry sundae at Dairy Queen. But with other things she just doesnt know, seems to happen quite a bit when she goes out to eat at unknown places. She keeps benadryl with her at all times, alot of times just taking that will help, if it doesnt I think she still carries one of those pins on her.

For it to keep happening I would think it would have to be something she is eating on a regular basis. In my mom's case once she gets hit with it and gets it taken care of it stops and doesnt happen again until she gets hit with it again out of the blue, which is 90% of the time when she eats out at a new place. I know last year when my mom and dad took their vacation in Europe last year she took all kinds of stuff with her since she would be eating all unknown foods.
