My husband and 3 year old have pretty sever allergies, but my son LOVES dogs. We want to get him one, but want one that will cause him the least amount of discomfort. We DO NOT want a Chihuahua. Any suggestions?

If I have a food allergy can I also be those types of food intolerant?
Please explain it in your own words, I can read a definition in the encyclopedia as well. An answer from a doctor would be highly appreciated here.

(The reason I am asking this question is that I am trying to maybe somehow assess whether if I have IBS and food allergies I may be wheat/glutem intolerant. And I have heard many people with IBS are gluten/wheat intolerant. Maybe finding this out would make my life easier.)

I’m 90% sure I have asthma, though I haven’t been to the doctor to confirm it yet (I have an appointment for later this week). I hate taking medicine of any kind, for any reason. I don’t take pills when I have a headache, and I don’t usually take antibiotics when I’m sick either, I like to let things work themselves out. (I’m not asking for a lecture on that subject, so don’t even bother.)

I’m sure I could discuss this with my doctor, but I’m thinking she’ll probably push some sort of generic medication, as doctors typically do, so that’s why I’m asking here. Other than pills, what are some good treatment options for asthma?
Oh, I forgot to mention that a friend of mine suggested that placing eucalyptus in my room might help a bit. Does anyone know if that’s true or not?

Louise asked:


I am very lucky because I have never had that problem. I had a dog for 16 years, but a friend of mine can not have a cat because her Mum is allergic to cats and other animals. She has two hamsters. They have to stop in a tank in her bedroom. Her mum helps her clean them out after having a tablet.

How can I help my boyfriend not be ashamed of his asthma?

My boyfriend had an asthma attack while we were in bed together and now he’s moved into the spare room because he says hes too embarrassed and worried it will happen again. What can I say to him to get him back?
