Swollen Lips, Tongue And Throat Due To Preservatives Allergy, Stress. Prescribed Prednisone. Opinion?

Thank you. I have an allergic reaction of swollen lips, sometimes tongue and throat, so I have the prescribed prednisone and the shots, both of which I carry with me at all times. The cause is preservatives and the dr. has told me to avoid foods from the freezer or microwave that have a long list of preservatives, usually, and I needed to do detective work myself by comparing the ingredients. That is very difficult to do. I sometimes wonder if stress also comes into play when I have a reaction and have only eaten what has been tried and true. Your opinion, please? Ina
