I've been cursed with a variety of food allergies for awhile. They suck.
For allergic reactions, the military issues those little bee sting kits that have some antihistamine pills and an epinephrine auto-injector. They work for any allergy, not just bee stings. You can't buy the auto-injectors, but you can buy bottles of liquid Benadryl that work as fast as those chewable pills. I've got a bottle of that shit in my car just in case, and take a double if a reaction hits. And yeah, this is doctor approved. Had to go in to the emergency room a couple of times before I figured out the specific foods that caused it, and every doctor I told about the Benadryl said it's the right thing to do.
