Food reactions aren't always allergies.
Allergy, sensitivity, intolerance, and celiac are different conditions with different tests and treatments. Your plan tells you which yours looks like — and what to do next.
- Epinephrine at the first sign of a severe reaction, then 911
- Testing, immunotherapy, or an anti-IgE biologic — and why
- Antihistamines, inhalers, eczema treatments
A plan you can print, share, and take to a clinician.
Built from your answers in minutes. Not reviewed by a clinician — an allergist confirms and signs it at your visit.
- Per-food reaction history
- When to give epinephrine, with the dose for your age and weight
- Allergy, intolerance, sensitivity, or celiac — which yours looks like
- Treatment options to discuss, and medications for asthma, hay fever, or eczema
- A Curex clinician who can prescribe epinephrine, order an allergy test, and sign the plan
Nine foods cause most reactions.
Milk
Common in infants; often outgrown.
Egg
Childhood-onset; baked-egg tolerance is possible.
Peanut
Often persists; reactions can be severe.
Tree nuts
Almond, cashew, walnut — often lifelong.
Soy
More common in children; often outgrown.
Wheat
Not the same as celiac disease.
Fish
Often starts later; usually persists.
Shellfish
A leading adult allergen.
Sesame
Labeled since 2023.
Avoidance is the start. It is no longer the only tool.
Every plan lists the options. Your answers note why each may be relevant to you. The decision belongs to you and your clinician.
Epinephrine
First-line for anaphylaxis. A Curex clinician can prescribe it.
Allergy testing
Blood tests ordered before your visit; skin-prick and food challenge in person.
Immunotherapy
Oral or sublingual — raises the threshold; sometimes lets you eat the food.
Biologics (anti-IgE)
FDA-approved to reduce reactions after accidental exposure; used with avoidance.
Other conditions
Antihistamines, nasal sprays, asthma inhalers, eczema treatments — managed at the same visit.
Now in more than one form.
Auto-injector pen
Outer thigh, hold, then call 911. Carry two.
Compact auto-injector
Pocket-size; some speak the steps aloud.
Nasal spray
Needle-free; one spray in one nostril.

Before you start
Is the plan a diagnosis?
No. It organizes your history and prepares you for a visit. A clinician confirms the diagnosis and signs the plan.
Does a positive test mean I must avoid the food?
Not by itself. Results are read alongside your history; a supervised food challenge settles it.
What does it cost?
The plan is free. No enrollment fee. A visit is billed to insurance (copay at intake) or $99 self-pay; an allergy test is $199 self-pay.
Can I do this for my child?
Yes. Choose "a child" at the start; dosing adjusts for age and weight.
