Mine too! Very frustrating bc one day I can eat something and the next time I try it I get hives.

OH THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I EAT CHERRYS AND APPLE SKIN!!

also "oral sensitivity syndrome" I think is the more commonly used name in the US, since it's not a true allergy

If your only symptoms are itchy mouth and maybe throat, try organic produce from a grocery store that doesn't carry conventional. I lived my life thinking I am allergic to apples, cucumbers, pears and a couple other things...until I started work this year at a Natural Grocers and sampled some fun apples. I can literally eat them all with no symptoms at all. Whether that's because I am allergic to some pesticide, or the produce grown organically develops less of whatever I am allergic to, who can say, but it worked for me!

... as a biologist, I want you to know that it's very likely that you are allergic to glyphosate and that that's the problem... Suspected you also have problems eating wheat and oats because of this if it is glyphosate... If there are foods that only harm your mouth then you can try and organic version and see if that helps. But of course if it's going to put you into anaphylaxis or give you digestive problems then please don't experiment 💜

Fun fact, the fruits you react to is determined by the pollen you're allergic to. Bananas are related to a ragweed allergy, which has the fewest known cross reactive foods.

Kumquats got me at 39.

Same Foxxy. I have done so much research on this. I am sure you did too but let me recap for the rest of the class. It's because every fruit and veg has a correlating "weed" and if you're allergic to the weed most likely you will be allergic to the fruit / veg because your BRAIN / BODY f***s it up and gets confused. Like thanks body, as if turning 40 isn't bad enough with all the aches and pains that literally just popped up, now you don't know the difference between a banana and a Plantaginaceae. ridiculous. It started with Bananas. Now it's (lets see if I can remember all) Banana, Pineapple, EVERY melon to include most recent, water melon, Kiwi, Plum (my favorite so still really sad) carrots are starting now. *sigh

Hey, I have that and I didn't used to.. should I be going by a doctor??

I get it from pineapple

Ugh, I feel you. I'm allergic to freaking bell peppers (related to mugwort pollens) and it's gotten to where I have a complete gastric rejection of them. Lavender will do it too, and it's getting trendy to put it in all sorts of desserts.

same

Hey I have that too! Mine includes literally all plants. Yay.

I had an allergy test done on my back and half of it was a solid hive/rash before they were done. They had to put antihistamine cream on it before they could finish. I can eat a couple fruits and vegetables.

Luckily I only have that happen to me with shrimp.

Bummer!

That sounds terrible? Fruit is amazing.

I'm the same way

I think it's meant to be a banana split

No, there isn't, they'll definitely think we plan to eat them after studying what cupcakes are

Yes, it's adorable

Me, too! Just last yr. got a bag of beautiful kiwis on sale, couldn't wait to eat some, only to have my mouth and tongue tingle, hurt and then go numb for a couple hours.

It isn't? Isn't it like pineapples with enzymes?

No, pineapples are trying to eat you

Oh, you poor soul.

Yeah, that's why I completely stopped eating peanuts after the three day trial to see if I was actually allergic to it (got a slight reaction eating Snickers on Christmas, waited for that to go away and tried Reese's, waited for that reaction to go away and tried a spoonful of peanut butter straight from the jar. Same reactions all around).

For me, fresh kiwi fruit, never had problems before, just happened a for the first time a few months ago. Weird!

Same only is peanut walnuts pecans etc. I use to eat cantaloupe n just suffer. Lol

Me too, I’ve never met anyone else with an avocado allergy. Also banana pineapple & cantelope

When I was younger I grew up in a tropical place, learned about salting pineapple ( to prevent mouth sores ) and learned about mangoes, there's something about their skin that causes reactions to most peoples' mouths, and skin, if the inner part of the peel touches skin. So we were taught that mangoes have to be peeled carefully, peel off more than you think you need to, and the best place to eat a fresh mango is in the bathtub. lol Even the juice of mangoes running down your hands or face, can cause reactions.
