Allergys... Question?

[Cuda1447]

Ive never been tested, but Im pretty sure Im allergic to nearly all fresh fruits, as well as lettuce. Im wondering what it is about these things that makes me allergic to them when they are fresh, but not concentrated (like OJ or apple juice)?

My symptoms, pretty standard my throat/mouth get kinda itchy and maybe a little swelling, and then I get chest pains sometimes as well. Sharp pains. Happens on almost all fruits I can think of, as well as lettuce.

Anyone ever have anything like this?

Hmm odd. Never experienced it with fish.

Hmm, I've had some reactions to pineapple, primarily breaking out in hives.

well I've always been somewhat allergic to fish. but it's just recently that I've developed that itchy/swelling mouth symptom. it's weird though because even eating the same kind of fish, I only get it sometimes... no matter b/c i hate fish anyway

edit: actually it might be some kind of additives b/c both times the fish were processed (smoked and the other canned)

I'd be curious to know if the same thing happens to you if you buy some Organic fruits and vegetables. It might be a reaction to the pesticides used on most produce.

Those chest pains are your bodies way of telling you the plaque lining the arteries to your heart is being removed by eating something healthy and to cut it out.

Stick with fried foods.

I'd try organic and see if you react like someone suggested.

However juice should also have the pesiticides. Perhaps there's more preservatives on whole fruits to improve their appearance. I know they've started genetically engineering fruits like starwberries to appear more fresh and make them more resistant to cold.

Other than that the only difference is fiber and some nutrients.
