Question: I like apples and carrots but I think I might be allergic to them!. Is this possible!?
Recently I've noticed that when I eat apples my lips gets irritated and slightly itchy!. I also feel some slight discomfort in my throat!. I think I may be allergic to them, but I've been eating them since I was a kid!. It's not a dangerous reaction or anything, but it's really annoying when your lips are itchy!. I've also noticed the same thing with carrots, but this doesn't make sense because I eat them all the time!
Is it possible I have minor allergies to these foods!? Can my allergies get worse over time!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
What you and bounceor have is called oral allergy syndrome!. It is a reaction to raw fruits and vegetables!. It is linked with pollen allergies!. I used to have it also!. I could not eat salad or watermelon or most other raw fruits or vegetables!. I went to an allergist and had allergy desensitation shots for my pollen allergies!. After being on the shots for five years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes but try organic ones before you stop!. I am allergic to the dye and chemicals found on grocery store fruits!! I thought I couldn't eat strawberries but I am allergic to the dye that some companies spray on them!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can get allergies from eating things alot, i don't know how or why thoughWww@Answer-Health@Com
anything is possibleWww@Answer-Health@Com
I developed a similar allergy to most tree bearing fruits like, apples, pears, figs, cherries, apricots, plums, peaches!. Basically anything with a pit except for citrus fruits!. Also to soybeans or soymilk, snowpeas!. It's an annoying itch that I get in my mouth, tongue, throat and ears!. And just like you, I used to eat all of these things growing up!. This allergy started about a yr and a half ago!. I'm fine if they've been cooked in some way (preserves, sauces, dried)!. Also, I can eat Granny Smith or any other tart apple if I cut it ahead of time and wait about half an hour before I eat it!.
It sucks because I LOVE fruits and veggies!. If I have to eat it because I crave it, I just drink lots of water after to flush out the allergen!. Otherwise I just avoid it!.
I've tried organics, and I still get the same reaction, although maybe a little less severe!. But try it out for yrself and see what happens!. Everyone is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
