July 08 I had shots for India-polio,yellowfever,Tdap, typhoid and had an allergic reaction my tongue swelled. Bendryl. I have had 9 swollen tongue reaction and 2 times inhad to go to the emergency room for predison and bendryl. Scrat test and numberous blood test and all test negative. During this time diagnose with Hashimoto Thyroditis which I was told has no effect on Swollen tongue which vers right after eating and swells about 1 to 2 hrs after eating. This has happend with shripm,casear salad, pinapple, Margaritta pizza, peanut breakbar. I have been to 3 allegistic, 3 ent, internist and very healty otherwise. No one can find problem. INfectious disease doctor. I feel that there is something in my system that triggers tgis any suggestions. No lupus,ms etc.

Swollen tongue
I am experiencing the same thing. Since it occurs every time after eating I assume food allergy. The allergist found none. I had an episode Sat night that benedryl did not help at all. It stayed swollen from Sat night into the day Sunday. Since the swelling is gone I still feel awful. I have appointment with family dr tomorrow.
We plan to go to a remote fishing camp in Canada early Sept. I really need to figure out what is causing this.
I had Chinese box dinner once, breakfast food - some red spices on the potatoes, the restaurant said it just listed spices - not specific, Hamburger and chips, breakfast food sausage had spices. I would like to hear if you get a diagnosis.
