Food Intolerances

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone
I have been suffering for many years the excruciating stomach pain if I eat raw fruits and vegetables such as Avocado, Raspberries, Banana etc. The list keeps on increasing every year and one food item gets added
The pain is a level 9 on a scale of 10 and I feel very flushed, palpitations etc. I believe it is intolerance to these food.
On top I have egg, honey and pine nut allergy.

Olivia, MN

Trying to pinpoint what reaction is caused by each thing. We don't have an affirmative diagnosis yet. At least looking at dairy, but could be others as well.

I have severe IBS symptoms. Eliminating food that causes reaction for the past 2 months. Notice my nails became extremely brittle, meaning I dont get the necessary nutrients I need.

Vanderbijlpark, ZA

Personal stories and advice would be highly appreciated- I feel I will get a better understanding of the road ahead if I can learn from what others have done.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

Your allergies are similar to mine. Do you go to restaurants/pubs and watch others eat. The thought of not eating out again is depressing
Looking forward to much missed holidays but a big part used… read more

Fragrance Reactions

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kenosha, WI

I have a comment, not a question. I have several allergies and when a new school year begins w/ meetings, I end up leaving the auditorium because many are wearing cologne and/or perfume. I must sit in the hall because attendance is mandatory and the migraine is just an added benefit to the start of a new school year, every time!

What Is Your Experience With Celery-mugwort Spice Syndrome?

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Colorado, USA

About 20 years ago I had a sudden first-time anaphylactic reaction to something I ate or drank. Allergy testing soon afterward showed pollen sensitivities to birch, sage (aka mugwort), and many grasses, but few food allergies other than mustard (which I tolerate in tiny amounts—good because it hides in everything) and rice (perhaps a false positive?). I was prescribed oral antihistamines (now available over the counter) which I still take daily all year round (alternating every few months so… read more
