Me, truffles. I break out almost instantly. No big whoop as it tastes like ass.

Every single time I eat a Three Musketeers candy bar I throw up not long after. I've eaten them four times in my life now - all were bite sized versions - and every time I've become really sick and thrown up. I have no idea what it is in them that my body hates.

psychosomatic, If you've been sick and ate one of these your body will sometimes link the sickness with the specific food.

I once overate a specific type of candy when I was six and threw up. Into my teens just eating just a couple of this type of candy I would throw up. Now I can eat them without any problems, I don't like it very much though.

None.
Milk makes me fart like a madman, but I consider that to be a hilarious bonus instead of an allergic reaction.

None, though olives taste like shit to me, they ruin anything they are in with their shitty taste. If that doesnt sound like an allergy I dont know what would.

Wow thanks, but even if I'm removing the skin?

Maybe remove some of the outermost flesh along with the skin?

IDK it could be something in the flesh of the mango that your body does not like as well i just know the skin can irritate some people. i am not an expert on these things

I am not allergic to any foods. I get sick to my stomach when I smell popcorn or peanut butter, though. Would that count as a "sensitivity?"

When I was young I was allergic to raw eggs. Couldn't touch them and couldn't eat mayo. Somewhere along the way I outgrew that, which supposedly is very rare as dairy, shellfish and nut allergies usually persist for life. Now, I'm not allergic to any foods that I know of.

lactose intolerant (which is normal, the freaks are all you weirdo lactose tolerant people)

I can eat a slice of cheese on a sandwich or something, but a glass of milk or more than a couple spoonfuls of icecream will leave me with a super uncomfortable stomach ache.

Posting in an assassination thread.

Anybody with a severe allergy, I wouldn't eat any food you didn't see prepared with your own eyes for AT least a month.


edit: assassins will see a month and probably wait longer to poison you. Wait longer. better yet, wait indefinitely.

Tested positive for shellfish allergy, but wouldn't eat them anyway.

Definitely allergic to Canola Oil, it caused anaphylaxis. This sucks because it is in almost everything & used by most restaurants.

I don't know that these are technically allergies-

Love mangos, but they irritate, almost seems like swells my throat a little, and can't breathe as well for a while after eating one.

Also, a certain type of packages of frozen fish filets from sams gives me nightmares that I am a fish inside a fish, stuck in mud. I'm both fish.

Stop eating mangoes & go get checked by an allergist before you die from eating one. Food allergies can kill.

Dairy for sure, possibly some wheat/grain products. Bananas, peanut butter, Indian food, nuts, most restaurant food, red meat, etc, etc. All this typically results in intestinal warfare.

I've never been diagnosed with a food allergy, but within the past several years I think I've developed an allergy to fish. Just one or two bites will put me in the bathroom for an hour. :(

Peanuts, green kiwi and fresh jackfruit give me mild swelling of the mouth/tongue.

Odd thing is.. gold kiwi and canned/frozen jackfruit I have no issues with.

Also have a sensitive reaction to durian cause it smells like gas.

it's OAS - oral allergy syndrome. Google it.

Wow thanks. I thought that was going to be a joke, & was not going to like the search results, but mangos was actually one of the fruits in the "crosslisted" category. Didn't completely understand that, & I'm not aware of any other allergies I have, ragweed etc. but could be it.




I really appreciate the concern, and I agree, but I probably made it sound more serious than it is. Not even coming close to instant suffocation like that girl from a single peanut. Mine's just barely enough to add a little wheeze to my breath. Mostly just irritating.

In fact the only reason I ever eat them anyway, is because the reaction is so mild that I always forget about it until afterwards, when I start feeling the itch. But even that's been a while, years maybe. I know I turned one down at my parents house this year (reprimanded for being all in my head "you're not allergic to mangos!"), & have since double checked my cart at the grocery when I had some kind of mango juice in it. So slow learner, but apparently I'm finally there with you: no mango policy.

Nothing worth mentioning. I need to be careful how much dairy I have but that's about it. There are foods that I certainly do not like but that doesn't really count :p

The only things I really have a relatively severe sensitivity to are artificial sweeteners, and those shouldn't be classified as a "food" item anyway. Carcinogenic garbage is all those things are.

Never been keen on dairy, but consumed it for years because... never thought otherwise. Eventually went cold turkey on it all aside from the occasional bit of cheese, and a lifetime of regular mild headaches suddenly vanished, blood pressure dropped substantially and problem areas of my skin cleared up entirely.

Tomatoes as well, though I eat a ton of them. And I'm not even really sure which tomatoes cause me issues. But I develop 'bubbles' on the insides of my cheeks within a few seconds of eating tomatoes pretty regularly.
