Curex does not treat this allergen
Rashes are not uncommon for food allergies. With a curry paste allergy, you may develop rashes on your skin that can cause itching and discomfort. These can appear as red patches or bumps on the skin surface.
Swelling or edema, particularly around the face, lips, tongue, and throat area is another symptom. This is a severe allergic reaction that might even disturb breathing and needs immediate attention.
Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea or stomach cramps, is another symptom of curry paste allergy. This occurs when the allergen reacts with the body after ingestion.
This is a severe allergic reaction and needs immediate medical attention. It occurs due to the swelling of the airways, causing difficulty breathing.
Urticaria, or hives, is a common symptom of allergies. It appears as red, itchy welts on the skin's surface and usually follows the consumption of the allergen.
While rare, some people may experience anaphylaxis, a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include a rapid pulse, drop in blood pressure, dizziness or unconsciousness. This is a medical emergency.
Recognize your symptoms?
If you consume curry pastes and notice symptoms of allergies afterward, you might have an allergy to curry pastes. Here are some steps to identify this reaction specifically to curry pastes:
Identify the Symptoms
Track the Consumption of Curry Pastes
Food journals can help track your intake of curry pastes and their correlation with your allergic reactions. Record what you eat each day and any symptoms you experience. Over time, you may notice a pattern that links the consumption of curry pastes with your symptoms.
Undergo Allergy Tests
Consult an allergist who can administer skin prick tests or blood tests to confirm your allergy. For skin prick tests, a small quantity of the suspect food—as curry paste—is applied on your skin using a tiny needle. In case of an allergy, you will develop a raised bump. Blood tests measure the amount of certain antibodies your body produces in response to an allergenic substance in the curry pastes.
Perform a Food Elimination Diet
With the help of a healthcare provider, you can undertake an elimination diet. This involves avoiding curry pastes and other allergens and then slowly reintroducing them to your diet. If your symptoms disappear when you stop eating curry pastes and reappear when you reintroduce them, you probably have a curry paste allergy.

Am I eligible?
Firstly, it's important to recognize what specific ingredients in curry pastes cause the allergy. Curry paste often contains numerous ingredients which can be allergens. These include garlic, onions, ginger, cumin, coriander, and chili peppers. Once you know what exactly causes your allergy, it will be easier to exclude it.
Before purchasing curry paste from the supermarket, always inspect the ingredient label meticulously. Some manufacturers might use different names for ingredients due to language or labeling protocols, so it's crucial to familiarize oneself with those as well.
Making your own curry paste at home allows you complete control over what goes into it. This way, you can tailor the recipe to omit the specific ingredients that trigger your allergy yet enjoy the unique flavor of curry pastes.
If you're unsure about your allergy or how to manage it, consulting with a dietitian or an allergist can provide professional advice tailored to your specific situation. They can provide you with strategies for avoiding allergens in food preparation or suggest alternatives to traditionally used ingredients in curry pastes.
