My fiance is 78 and he is allergic to soy. He gets itchy after eating seeds and nuts and some fried foods. My question is what is the best to use for frying? I use vegetable oil most often. I don t fry many foods. Is shortening a better choice? What works best on the itchy rash that he gets? Thank you
Hello, The frequent itching after eating seeds and nuts and other stuff indicates allergy to that food and allergy leads to a reaction which may cause rash, itching and burning sensation in skin etc. symptoms. So try ti*You can use olive oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, butter etc. for frying instead of vegetable oil for frying.*On itchy rash apply lactocalamine lotion as it will help in smoothening of skin. Also give him anti-allergic tablet too after getting a rash, you can give him a tab. Cetrizine in a stat dose.*If problem is troubling him more than do visit a nearby dermatologist.*I hope you find my answer helpful. Thank you.
