Quote  |  Reply

Is there anyyyone else that is allergic to ALL fruit like I am? Everyone thinks it is crazy and I have never met anyone else that is too. I can't have Anyy fruit.. and this includes Tomatoes. I'm also allergic to carrots, alll nuts, cake mix and cookie dough. And does anyone know what it could be that they all share? I get the same symptoms from everything.. a sore blistery mouth.

This runs in my family. Myself, my mom and her sister can't have tomatoes, citrus, wine- it causes blisters in the mouth and throat for days. I also get the blisters in my bladder.

Doctors will generally refer to this as an intolerance rather than as an allergy, even if you have hives on half your body. Some doctors don't believe you at all. You could benefit from following a diet for people with interstiitial cystitis: no acid, caffeine, preservitives, alcohol, sulfites, etc...check out this i.c. site (just for guidelines on dietary tryouts). If I follow this diet I don't get the blisters in my mouth or hives. I also have problems with carrots that aren't mentioned there, but if you avoid everything else, it may subside. My mother can tolerate tomatoes if they are cooked,  but that is not the case for everyone.

This is more common than you might think. Try blueberries and watermelon too.

I am alergic to some fruit, an I could not belief it either. I am not allowed to eat any kind of citrus fruit, as I get excema on my skin. Other fruits include Bananas, and Apples, when I get heyfever-like symptoms, only worse (difficulty breathing, swollen eyes, itchy throat). But on the other hand I am ok with berries, mango, pears and grapes. Weired.

Hey same here.

Its weird actually because me and one of my best friends are allergic to some fruits. I used to be seriously bad, I nearly passed out cus I had a reaction to mcvities yog fruit digestives, a damn shame too since they were sssooooo good LOL

Me it's apples (tho I might be ok with them now since I haven't had one in yyeeaarrsss) but the main one is bananas. Gives me a sore mouth and throat, itchy inner ears, then makes my stomach feel like it's trying to eat itself. Then, if its a bad reaction, the same sensation will happen when I eat over the next three days or so. But I seem to have this under control now as I haven't had a reaction that bad since October of last year. I think your body does grow out of it some times or at least the severity of the reactions decreases =)

I'm also good with berries and grapes ... I'm so gonna try mango now too =P

I'm glad it was a good suggestion for you :-) Let me know how it goes with the mango, hopefully all well.

I'm not allergic to all fruits, but i am allergic to most of them.  i can't eat any fruit with a seed in the middle no matter how small or large. I don't get blitters in my mouth which  i know is very painful. My throat begins with an itch i cant scratch and then it closes up and i can't breathe.  i've had these allergies since i was 8 and i just avoid the fruit at all cost. i can eat tomatoes though and strawberries and oddly enough i have no reaction to watermelon.  i thought i was the only person who has such severe allergies. check the ingredients in the cake mix and cookie dough. there is always new allergies developing every year
