When I was a baby I was deathly allergic to peanuts all peanuts. Later I developed a peach and egg allergy and milk. Now in adulthood I’m still allergic to eggs, I’m afraid to eat any sort of shellfish. I’m milk intolerant and allergic to bananas and now the last few years bread and wheat products have been making me sick. It’s frustrating and I’m kind of afraid to get food allergy tested because then I’ll find I can’t eat anything! And I love food lol 😂

I grew up with a friend who had a nut allergy (This was back in the 80's before allergies were even accepted as a thing) but he didn't just react to nuts but would react to other people who had touched or eaten nuts, so if we had nuts we had to warn him to avoid skin contact for the rest of the day, he called it 'Essence of Nut'. He was the only person I knew with a food allergy first the first 21 years of my life.

I believe the answer lies in pesticides and herbicides - glyphosate in particular. I'm a gardener and remember well when glyphosate was introduced, my boss showing off that 'It's so safe, you can practically drink it!' (Yes, he actually said that). Up to its introduction, I didn't know a single person with an allergy - then suddenly kids were getting strawberry and then nut allergies. I'm not saying such allergies didn't exist before, there's always going to be some with weaker systems who develop allergies to something, but this was on an escalating scale. By the very fact that it's already been proved glyphosate has a very negative influence on the complex bioflora in your gut (killing it, in short), then those parasites you mention may come in when your bioflora is particularly 'low' and do some 'damage' then. Look how the number of people with allergies has increased over the years. Look at the number of those who have developed intolerances. Can it be any 'mere' coincidence that the increase in allergy/intolerance cases happens at the same time the farming industry has in fact 'increased' its usage of glyphosate (from merely clearing fields of weeds to 'deliberately' spraying grain crops to desiccate all the plants for harvest at the optimum time)? My family never had one instance of an allergy or even an intolerance - and now several of us have them: gluten, milk, food colouring, meat, eggs, bananas. Meal times for us are more like a chemistry lesson now!

Just letting people know if you suddenly have a reaction involving whole body swelling/rash and you don't know what caused it, check to see If you have changed your washing powder. Some washing powders contain methisothiazolinone or benzisothiazolinone that can cause allergies in some people myself included. You may be allergic to one or both of these.

Self-destruct

When I was a kid I wasn’t allergic to nuts at all and ate them regularly, but one day at the age of, I think 9 I ate a hazelnut (which I had eaten before) and got an intense reaction for no reason. I then got tested for nut allergy and it ended up showing not only hazelnut but a pretty strong allergy to most nuts excluding almonds. I’m now 23 and about 2 years ago after having avoided all nuts but almonds since I got tested I tried just a tiny bit of peanut butter (which might have been stupid but that’s what I did) and waited for a while without any reaction, so I tried it again and still nothing. Eventually I tried a whole peanut butter sandwich and I had no reaction what so ever. I then tried nutella which has hazelnut in it which is what I was the most allergic to and I had absolutely no reaction. I can now eat every kind of nut that I had become allergic to even if it isn’t processed into any food product without any reaction. So I went from having no allergy to being strongly allergic to all nuts back to not being allergic to them at all.

Growing up, I was severely allergic to lots of things. I was allergic to peanuts, treenuts, seafood, peas, beans, and probably a few others I can't remember. It was bad enough to the point that just the smell of some of these things, especially peanuts, could trigger anaphylaxis. Now things are better, but growing up knowing they eating ant of these things could potentially kill me has really affected me. I still refuse to eat any of these foods, although now I am only allergic to peanuts, and maybe nuts. I have been doing the microdosing he was talking about for peanuts for a few years now, so that has greatly helped me with that allergy. Now I can truly eat anywhere, and almost anything. Before it, I had to bring my own food to restaurants, and that really sucked. Sorry for the whole essay here

I'm thinking sometimes allergies may be related to or be an indicator of the strength of a person's immune system at any given point in time. So, take for example your brother...maybe @ one time his immune system was compromised @ the time he ate seafood that he had the allergic reaction to. Fast forward a period of time, he accidentally eats something he's supposed to be allergic to & nothing happens. Honestly, I can't prove it, but since allergies are so intertwined with the immune system & responses...I would almost put money on this hypothesis. Maybe in the future you won't have problems with dairy if your immune system improves? I'm not saying go drink milk or anything, but maybe speak w/your doctor about the possibility.

The immune system is like the abusive older brother who protects you when the school bully comes but also beats you up in front of your friends.

I learned about food allergy in the United States. It's soooo common there and not in my country, Mexico. Further than that, in 1993, it was shocking for me to know about dogs (also in the U. S.) being allergic to certain kind of food!

I wonder if that weird, sudden allergic reaction to almond milk could have been cross contamination in the production process. It could be from completely unrelated vegetable matter that could have intruded the product. It used to happen in the middle ages when toxic weed grain, stems and even pollens would get mixed in the flours. Baking got rid of a lot of issues but some people still randomly died just from eating common food.

I've literally always been allergic to peanuts, yet when i was younger my family had no idea that peanuts was causing my eczema and now hives. but the worst thing was that when i was younger is that peanuts were my favourite thing, i used to eat them in almost every single meal- but slowly as the years have gone by my allergies to peanuts have gotten worse, i never got a epipen from a doctor bc my allergies have never been serious enough and my reaction to peanuts is usually onset, but last week i ate a candy bar with peanuts in it that didnt say it had on in the front of the package (i dont usually check labels if im being honest) so i ate it but after tasting the peanuts i spit it right out, i probably swallowed now even half a peanut bc i took a small bite, but regardless of that how 5 days later im covered in hives and my face has been swollen for the past two days

Interesting. My middle sister was *born* with nasty allergies - the only fabric that could touch her skin for a couple of years was cotton washed in Ivory Snow, otherwise she'd go bright red all over and her skin would start cracking. Unsurprisingly, she also developed a very sensitive peanut allergy (the kind that can be fatal with just the smallest amount of peanut oil in the air nearby). It's gotten better, thankfully - the whole fabric issue was gone by the time she was about 2 years old, and her peanut allergy faded (though didn't disappear) in late adolescence/early adulthood. Interestingly, my high school biology teacher actually did her doctorate in immunology on allergic reactions. Apparently (now, this is admittedly from almost 30 years ago), our immune "memory" cells (the ones that identify harmful intruders into our systems) have long chains recording pretty much every substance we ingest/interact with. If those chains get cut somewhere, an allergy will develop - the degree of the allergy dependent on where the chain for that particular protein/substance is cut. As we age, they can get cut again, which is why allergies can change intensities or disappear. At least, that's how she explained it to us. My mother had a shellfish allergy for about 3-5 years; it gave her migraines and made her sick. But then it vanished as quickly as it had shown up.

I've been reading alot about "leaky gut syndrome" and how things like excessive growth of candida (due to antibiotics killing good bacteria in your body which normally keeps this under control) can cause your intestinal wall to weaken, allowing small food particles to escape into your body, which then your body starts attacking. Also plenty of other things can cause this "leaky gut syndrome". Perhaps this is a cause of this? Perhaps pestisides or overly processed foods can also attribute to this.

Many plant life does release something when it detects damage or performs another response.

I had a peanut allergy since I was a kid however I started to notice reactions to grasses and got an allergy test only to learn that I was no longer allergic to peanuts.

I used to never react to anything, but my daughter has been sensitive to dairy from the time she was a little baby. If I ate dairy, then nursed her, she got pinprick rashes on her body and she would cry all the time. She stopped having the issue when I stopped eating dairy, so for about a year I went off dairy. Then, when I had finished weaning her, I started to have serious, instant reactions to something in liquid coffee creamer, and in certain sugar free foods. The first time, i thought I had a stomach bug. Normally I drink my coffee with milk and at that time was using almond milk as a replacement. Well I was at a Ladies retreat, and I hadn't had regular coffee creamer in so long, so I decided to try it. I had a cup of decaf with some international brand liquid creamer, and about ten minutes later I was so sick I became dehydrated. It was awful. I had never reacted to creamer that way before, and didn't even consider that it had been the cause. I thought it was something I had eaten, since it was a group get together and there were lots of different potluck foods. Honestly, the cramps felt so horrible. It was just like food poisoning, or if you've had a baby, just like labor. It was gone within a few hours but it felt like all day, haha. When I had another cup of coffee with liquid creamer at my parents' house about a week later, I figured it out. The third time I was sick like that, a relative had given me a coffee from a local coffee shop chain. I drank a fair amount of it and then got sick again. Turns out it was sugar free (not something I usually eat), and for my mother in law, but our drinks had been swapped by mistake. Also was bad for her as she's a diabetic, and mine was a regular mocha. I think the artificial sweetener that's in liquid coffee creamer might be the culprit. I now react the same way to Arizona Arnold Palmer, which nowadays is only sold in "lite" where I live. It has artificial sweetener too Now I don't use coffee creamer unless it's the simple ingredients kind made with just real sugar and half and half. Usually I just take it with milk. I am definitely not a doctor or pathologist or whatever expert handles allergies, so this is all a guess. I suspect the hormonal change of stopping nursing, paired with beginning to drink and eat dairy products again, may have set my body off. I notice a lot of people here mentioning not being allergic to things until they reach puberty age or early adulthood, when our bodies are going through hormonal changes. While I was pregnant with her, I was stung by bees and reacted more strongly than usual. Normally I'd just get a little raised bump from a bee sting but both times I was stung on my hand and both times my forearm and fingers swelled up. I have been stung since then and react normally. Food reactions are weird man EDIT: I realize my issue is probably an intolerance not an allergy.

The term food allergy was one of my biggest culture shock when I moved to North America. It was unheard of back in my home country China. We have people allergic to certain antibiotics or intolerant to milk but that's nothing like food allergy. It's strange that food allergy affects American born Chinese but not Chinese grown up in China. Allergic asthma is also extremely rare in China but can be developed among people who migrate out of China over time. I guess allergy is purely caused environmental factors, it's not something passed down in the genes.

Great video. Would have liked you to go more into talking about the different kinds of allergic reactions. I'm intolerant of mushrooms - I get severe flu symptoms. But I'm allergic to the nightshade family (tomato, potato, peppers) and I experience moderate inflammation, severe muscle tightness, skin boils and sharp joint pain....but no obvious swelling, etc so it went misdiagnosed and not correlated as an allergy for decades of my life. Ppl need to know all the possible kinds of allergic responses. It's not all hives and anaphylaxis.

In our grandparents' day (great grandparents' day if you're a millennial) some children were routinely dismissed as "sickly", and often no further explanation of their persistent poor health was sought―or wasn't available if it _was_ sought. It is now believed that many of these "sickly" children, whose siblings typically enjoyed healthy normality, were likely sufferers from one or other undiagnosed specific food allergy. A lot of them would "grow out of" their condition in mid to late childhood, but not all were so fortunate.

In the Victorian times (into the late 1800s even) they used to mix borax into milk because it made the smell of spoiled milk go away but the bacteria of the milk going bad was making children very sick. Having diarrhea was deadly back then. Bread had alum in it to make it whiter. Adults could metabolize this stuff a bit better than a small child. They grew out of it because the food industry slowly put a stop to adultering food.

I will disagree with your dating system about great-grandparents.... Back to the 60's and 70's these deadly food allergies were rare. Peanut butter sandwiches, cookies and candy was served in school caffeterias. I am of that generation -- am no one's great-grandmother -- and deadly food allergies were known but extremely rare. We did not have worms, most of us had clean homes and indoor plumbing. We did play outside and get dirty. Maybe an interesting search would be to see a geographical distribution of deadly food allergies. Might kids growing up outdoors in rural areas have fewer deadly allergies than city kids?

I've been allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and bananas since I was a year old. Things like checking ingredients and asking waitstaff is so normal that I barely think about it. The rise in food allergies in the past decade or so has actually been helpful for me. Restaurants, etc are way better about labeling and taking precautions than they were when I was a kid in the 90s. I still have to deal with customer service people getting pissy at me for inconveniencing them though :/

I developed an allergy to mustard, which I discovered by asking for honey mustard to be added to a sandwich at the deli. I hadn't had mustard for many years. I treated the symptoms with Benadryl - I got a nasty migrating full body skin rash. After it was finally gone after a couple days, my body then started to have a reaction to Benadryl - but not while the Benadryl is in my system, only after it wears off.

As a kid with what has always been described to me as a "severe allergy" to peanuts and tree nuts, I've just developed the habit of checking labels. But it really sucks when you can't go into some shops, like pastry shops (especially in France) when they all say that they "can't guarantee" stuff, or when you go to some party and just say "no" to every food, unsure if they have any nuts or have been in close contact with nuts. (side rant- going to Europe was quite scary. we had a translation card, but it was always worrying when they didn't fully understand what it meant, especially if it 'may contain' nuts. luckily I was fine though) As an introvert, it sucks to have to say that I have a "severe peanut and tree nut allergy" to every restaurant, coffee shop, or whatever other food place you go to. I also just recently learned that my parents used to get Thai food all the time, but bc of me they haven't had it in 16 years. Overall, in many ways, it sucks.

I’ve had a lot of trouble with my stomach since I was a child (about 15 years of digestive trouble) and I’ve taken tests and had endoscopy’s of my stomach twice where tissue samples were taken and it all came back normal. I had diarrhea every day of my life for 15 years 8 of which I spent constantly severely nauseous and nothing helped. Then my dr said he wanted to do a liver biopsy b/c he thinks I have fatty liver and I know what that entails and I was like no not happening. So he said that I should lose some weight (I’m about 40lbs overweight) and come back for lab work in a year which is what I did. And I kid you not once I stared my diet all of my problems went away and I lost some weight. The diet I went on wasn’t some fad diet or anything. All I did was cut out pre packaged food. Everything that came in a wrapper that wasn’t 5 ingredients or less on the nutrient info got left at the store. It seriously helped, now I’ve also found out through trial and error that some foods irritate my stomach. Olives/olive oil (ate olives a ton as a kid), sugar substitutes (erythritol, stevia extract, monk fruit; omg my digestive system hates them), gluten, and dairy. I don’t have any food allergies or celiac’s disease. Hope this helps someone.

Eating dirt is actually extremely beneficial, as it provides bacteria and enzymes that benefit digestion. It's what you're eating from the grocery store that causes the problems! "Why are so many people allergic to food?" DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW? Most food allergies are caused by a condition known as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). And the reason why food allergies are ever-more prevalent is because the CAUSE of hypoglycemia is ever-more prevalent: REFINED CARBOHYDRATE CONSUMPTION. "Big Money" ensures that this information stays buried, because both the food industry and medical industry make a FORTUNE off of this crap. Want to know more? "It's Okay To Be Smart." But intelligence without wisdom is like a boat without water; it won't take you very far. On the other hand, wisdom can take you VERY far!

I remember 4 years ago when I was still in high school, there was this very ordinary Friday morning, when I started getting itchy "mosquito bites" on my arm in class. Mosquitos do tend to have a particular affinity towards me and I get bitten very often so I wasn't that surprised or concerned. But then those "bites" started appearing on my other arm, legs, chest, groin, back and my face. I never had any allergies before in my life so I didn't know they were actually hives, instead I thought it must be some tiny mysterious bug that's biting me all over. It eventually got so bad I had to go to the school clinic, who immediately had a teacher accompany me to a nearby hospital to get allergy suppression drugs. The symptoms all cleared quickly after I took the drugs, and I was fine that afternoon. 4 years later I'm attending university 8000km from home and still haven't figured out what was the cause of that allergic reaction, nor has anything similar reappeared afterwards. I've read recently that more than half of allergy cases were in fact not traceable back to a specific source, so that kind of reassures me a bit.

Hives are actually very common. I get them in cold weather. I also get them when I put my body through extreme workout after a very long time and produce too much heat for my body to handle. I also get pressure induced hives. Also, I am allergic to shellfish and have asthma. All of this sounds too much but I enjoy a normal life 😅

I started developing an allergy to walnuts shortly after my great-grandpa died. He had a walnut tree in his garden and we used to eat fresh walnuts together in the fall and winter. Sine his death (I was about seven at that time), I have been allergic to walnuts in the first place, as well as to unroasted/ uncooked hazelnuts and almonds (once they have been thouroughly heated it's fine) and I have a cross reaction to some types of apples as well. Interestingly I have absolutly no reaction on pecans and macadamias, both of which I encountered a lot later in my life as an older teenager/ young adult. If someone would ask me where my allergy came from, I would say it's mostly of psychological origin, as it's so perfectly tied to my great-grandpas death (we were close). And it cemented the bodily reaction over some years, developing a full fledged allergy. It would even explain, why I react to walnuts pretty heavily, while I don't show any reaction to very closely related pecans and raw hazelnuts just give me mild inconvinience. And a friend, who's a MTA once told me that an alelrgy can develop suddenly, but it normally doesn't get worse over time. So my walnut allergy should not be able to kill me one day, because I never experienced an anaphylactic shock by now. I'm not sure if I trust his expertise, thou. Just stay away from walnuts. Luckily, I don't like the taste anymore, too. So I'm not even tempted to try. Interestingly, my friend seemed to had developed an allergy to eucalyptus or menthol, when she was trying to ease her caughing caused by covid with euca-drops.

I am also a burden to food allergies, I’m allergic to peanuts and tree nuts but I’m anaphylactic to sesame. Sesame was always a weird one since it’s in almost all breads so I can’t eat those.

I just want to mention that for some people their allergies are severe enough that sitting next to a bowl of what they are allergic to or contact with someone who recently ate or handled the thing could be enough to be dangerous. Obviously he had checked it wasn’t going to cause harm in this particular situation but to everyone else, not only please don’t trick people into eating something they are allergic to but also don’t bring the thing into their presence at all unless you have checked how extreme their allergy is.

Thanks for this message! If there's anything more horrifying than waking up on a plane while going into anaphylaxis because the people around you had been eating peanuts, I'm not sure what it is. All I know is that there was a very kind nurse on board who helped me with my Epipen, Benedryl, and got me strapped to an oxygen tank so I could breathe for the rest of the flight, instead of choking to death on my own throat from the amount of recirculated peanut oil on the air. On another occasion, my niece, (who has many of the same allergies as I do, but is much smaller), briefly stopped breathing because she had sat in a chair where the previous occupant had been eating peanuts. Her parents saved her with fast Epipen action, but it was way too close a call! Never underestimate how bad someone's allergies might be. That lack of concern could cost their life.

I have lots of intolerance and have recently developed allergies to antibiotics like Bactrim that never affected me till my mid 20s. It’s rough. I have chronic reactive nerve pain/joint inflammation and never ending trips to the bathroom as it made my IBS completely unmanageable.

2 years ago, I went to Thailand for the first time. The first few days I was completely fine with the food, in fact I love the cuisine and eat alot during the trip. But then one day after I had a shrimp fried rice, just some hours later, my skin started to itch and my face got swollen. So the first time ever in my life I had an allergy, it was in a foreign land. Luckily, my friend popped me an allergy pill then I got over the night peacefully. The funny thing is, I had no idea what I had the allergic reaction to, til this day.

Growing up I would eat a lot of butter pecan ice cream and I always noticed that it made my mouth and throat feel weird. I thought it was normal so I continued to eat it. One day while I was working at my local DQ I had a turtle sundae on break and immediately my mouth and throat went to feeling raw and scratchy. I brought it up to one of my coworkers and they immediately grabbed the sundae and tossed in in the garbage screaming at me that I was clearly having an allergic reaction. Went to a doctor a week later and sure enough I'm allergic to pecans specifically. No other tree nuts cause a reaction.

Personally, I STRONGLY agree with the parasite theory. Might I suggest another theory? Maybe it's a chemical or pesticide that was used while producing certain food products? Or it could even be a chemical compound, like potassium. I recently found out that I'm allergic to loads of nuts (except peanut and cashew, which I find odd), certain fruits such as coconut and cantaloupe, vegetables, and shellfish. It's just a possibility.

I have several allergies, wheat protein, gluten, moulds/yeast, some medications, but also almonds and chickpeas are ropey for me. Recently tried pistachios with great success, so tried cashews but that did not go well! So I've halted my tests with nuts for the moment.

For my entire life, I have been allergic to all tree nuts to some degree. Growing up as a kid if I ate some nut by mistake it would make me a bit nauseous and maybe some hives. As a high school student I was on a trip and had baklava for the first time. I became a bit nauseous but my face started to swell. I went to the emergency room. I was treated with Benadryl in one arm and adrenaline in the other. One side was ready to pass out and the other side was ready to dance all night. The sleepy side won. The next morning I was fine. Fast forward to a few years ago after a heart attack and the heart medicine Lysinopril. I ate a quarter of a cookie that was oatmeal, cranberry, and walnut. For some reason I missed the word walnut on the label. I knew in about 20 seconds that there was a problem. I went and got some Benadryl. Normally that would have been all I need to do. But because I was on Lysinopril my reaction went off the rails. My face started to swell and a coworker called 911. I remember the EMTs bringing the gurney in to the store. I remember getting on the gurney. I remember waking up in ICU with a tracheotomy in my throat and a feeding tube up my nose about 2 weeks later. I was in the hospital for a month because of one quarter of a cookie.

Well, here's the truth; not just a hypothesis or theory: Most food allergies are caused by a condition known as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). And the reason why food allergies are ever-more prevalent is because the CAUSE of hypoglycemia is ever-more prevalent: REFINED CARBOHYDRATE CONSUMPTION. "Big Money" ensures that this information stays buried, because both the food industry and medical industry make a FORTUNE off of this crap. Want to know more? "It's Okay To Be Smart." But intelligence without wisdom is like a boat without water; it won't take you very far. On the other hand, wisdom can take you VERY far! From the cure for cancer (and colds and flus and Covid) to the very Meaning of Life, I have it. "Click" and ye shall find!

I have a really bad citrus allergy. If someone opens a citrus in a room I'm my body just shuts down. My throat will start to swell and close up. Doctors are very confuse why this is and even rare for an allergy to be airborne. I have to keep an epi pen on me at all times. It sucks because as a child I used to eat them all the time but now I can't even get close to one.

My kid is allergic to Tree Nuts and that’s definitely a full time job! It’s so hard to teach them not to accept food from any kid, not even friends or family. And also teaching everyone around him!

I broke out into hives one time for no reason, too. Eventually, I figured out it was something I was touching, which led me to my truck (I'm a truck driver). It was winter in Minnesota. There was salt everywhere. While I'm not allergic to sodium chloride, either magnesium chloride or calcium chloride (used in colder climates because regular table salt doesn't help that much when it's -15°F out) make me break out in hives. So I ended up having to have my truck thoroughly washed.

Does anybody have experienced something similar? Since I am a little kid I had this wierd allergy which reacts on most nuts like, walnut, cashew, peanut, almond... and on most fruits like apple, pear, mango, pinapple... but the catch is that I don't get an allergic reaction all the time and even if I do its mild just a very unpleasant burning, almost swallowing-like sensation in my mouth and sometimes a bit of stomach ache while other times I dont feel anything at all.

she could also be allergic to: pesticide(s) bits of insect that get into almost everything, and certain amounts are allowed in our processed foods

*This* is plausibly true in her case. Just knowing that some people have bad reactions to pesticides directly put on food, or as you suggest in a foreign substance that gets into the food can make someone develop food anxiety. I know two people with allergies to specific pesticides. They learned of their allergy the hard way, by consuming fruit sprayed with pesticide which resulted in an allergy. I don't remember the details, but yes, what you're saying is true.

Even my car had to be decontaminated by my wife. They tried to throw away my clothes including my wallet and keys! I don't recommend the experience.

I'm only allergic to Fuji apples. The skin has microscopic hairs that cause a reaction. Other apples are okay.

Similar story happened to me. One instance of eating kale I had an allergic reaction but testing didn't say I was allergic but the reaction was my throat starting to close up.

Growing up I was allergic to peaches. It was never a super bad reaction, just hives that could be controlled with Benadryl. But I’ve luckily grown out of that and can now eat peaches with no problem.

I'm surprised but I didn't hear him mention the toxins a lot of nuts naturally have in them. Some species and people have more or less sensitivity and tolerance to the toxins. Mcaws have to eat clay everyday to help deal with the toxins from all the nuts they eat. I was half expecting him to mention it as a likely cause or to rule it out.

Your friend may just have a mild allergy to it

My suspicion lies in 1) preservatives, additives, emulsifiers, antibiotics etc in packaged & processed foods or medicines. Also chlorinated water. I suspect it affects gut flora, possibly leading to rise of allergies 2) EDCs from plastic, due to their effects on the endocrine system. What d’you think Dr Joe Hanson?

I’ve had the same thing! I had an allergic reaction but my doctor had no idea what it is.

Me too - I used to be able to *live* on fresh fruit! My grandparents had an orchard, and fruit was just what I ate. Then I had a weird allergic reaction to a nectarine about 20 yrs. ago. Cherries were next. And a couple more the next year. Now I'm allergic to more fruits and vegetables than I can actually eat, unless they're thoroughly cooked or processed. Since I'm also allergic to a whole load of nuts and legumes, these days I live on a lot of grains, dairy, and processed fruits & veggies; ie. canned fruits, or stewed tomatoes. And croissants from the Farmers' Market. :9 I discussed this oddity with my allergist, and her explanation was amazing: I've been cross-reacting to certain proteins in these foods that are similar to those in certain tree pollens that I'm severely allergic to, and so my body is reacting to these foods raw as if I'd just taken a great big mouthful of (for example) birch pollen. My immune system is a complete assh*le. But thoroughly cooking the foods I react to raw breaks down the offending proteins enough that they can slip past my haywire immune system, though it still kind of sucks, as I still can't handle them enough to do the cooking myself.

Those aren’t healthy

My body has only had a food allergic reaction when in used in combination with something else. In my case if I am taking the antibiotic bactrim, and then eat my favorite Chinese food: House Speical Fried Rice, I will then have a reaction where I must regurgitate the food or blackout pass out. I can normally take bactrim on its own or House Speical Fried Rice on its own, but not the two together! I no longer get prescribed bactrim when I need an antibiotic just a precaution now.| The other allergic reaction I have had is when using fabric softener. I went 6 months when I first entered college and didn't use fabric softener in my laundry due to my lack of funds. I then purchased fabric softener and washed my laundry only to break out in hives (a condition my Grandfather on my father's side also had). I thought at first I had lost some kind of built of tolerance I had acquired over the years of by not using fabric softener, but later was able to wear fabric softener washed clothes if I did my laundry at home. My home has well water, in college I lived in an apartment and used city water. While fabric softener will now make me a little ichy regardless, I will get full blown hives if I wash my laundry only when using fabric softener + a city water source. I am no doctor, but I have to wonder if in Emily's case it is a combination of things: That particular cereal she was consuming, plus the almond milk. We as humans are a complicated set of chemicals ourselves, why is it hard to imagine that mixing compounds together then adding to our own chemical makeups would always go smoothly, even if alone those two things are okay?

I had the same experience with Emily! I was in a morning class and then i started itching on my legs, i couldn't see under my pants so i went to the comfort room and found hives all over my legs and I started feeling hot and dizzy. I only had coffee for breakfast but had a reaction. Sent myself to the doctor and they didn't know the reason why and how i got the reaction, they gave me antihistamine for it.
