Case Report: Not all recurrent “idiopathic” anaphylaxis is idiopathic
This case underscores the importance of considering food additives, particularly carmine, in patients with unexplained anaphylaxis. Structured re-evaluation, patient-guided dietary review, and custom allergen testing may be essential in identifying hidden allergens. Clinicians should be vigilant about uncommon triggers when routine investigations fail to identify the cause.
