Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
Would you believe looking at this pic an allergist told me he has no idea what I'm allergic to. He gave me Zyrtec and & epi pen.
Those are my eyes I could not open, swollen lips, hives from my neck down and inside my throat was nearly closed. It's happened many times but I wasn't given an answer from the scratch or blood tests.

I'm allergic to casein (aka dairy). I can tolerate some things, depending on their consistancy I guess, but milk, sour cream, yogurt, cheese, etc. will definitely send me to the hospital. My throat closes, I stop breathing, my face swells, I get itchy "inside my head," I break out, heart races...it's pretty much a full anaphalactic reaction  I have to carry an epi pen with me at all times...
I'm sorry to hear that you just joined this stinky club 
ETA: but happy to hear that it's pretty mild! 
oh that's rough  The only thing I can think of that's even more difficult is my friend's mom's allergy to gluten  her allergic response is as severe as yours... she can't eat anything that has flour, wheat, or processed in a plant with wheat products.
Even many brands of chocolate and candy have wheat-based ingredients  She literally cannot eat out in any restaurant 
you can only imagine my joy when my husband wanted to try a casein and gluten-free diet to see if it would curb a minor health issue... basically we can now only eat fresh veggies, meats and uhhh yea a few other things. Healthy but limiting!!

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
I used to be able to eat carrots, green peppers, red onions, cucumbers and some pickles. They kill me. It's not even worth the pain I go through when I eat them.

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
I am allergic to raw shrimp. I can eat it cooked without a problem but if I touch it raw I get a very bad rash. I never knew until I made shrimp scampi for the first time a few years ago. Then I found out my mom has the same reaction.
My 3 yr. old nephew is allergic to peanuts First time he had a reaction he was 2 and ate peanut butter. Instantly he was trying to rip out his tongue and started screaming. My SIL has to carry an Epi pen and he wears a medical bracelet. It scares the crap out of me

Im not until I realized that recently I am!
Apparently I am to pineapple.
I love it, eat it and enjoy it and while or after eating....the roof of my mouth itches.
I dont get any further reaction but told that means I am allergic.
-A good friend, allergic to chocolate,blows up
You probably have OAS - Oral Allergy Syndrome. My DD1 can't apples, watermelon, cucumber, etc because of it. You're not actually allergic to the pineapple - You have enviornmental allergies - and something with the breakdown of the fruits (and veggies) enzymes, your body thinks it's an allergen and attacks it - That's why you get the itchy feeling on the roof of your mouth. My DD1 breaks out in hives all over face, and her mouth and tongue swell from eating apples and a bunch of other fruits and veggies.
The good news about OAS - It's mosy likely not an anaphaltic reaction - Although it can happen in severe cases.
She is also severly allergic to a host of other foods - Dairy, eggs, peanuts, treenuts (like cashews, pecans, etc) - Also sesame, and sunflower seeds, some shell fish... legumes... It's so hard for her.

I am allergic to so much - not just food - products that have my allergens in them give me reactions. I'm currently battling a severe rash because I used a lotion with soybean oil.
I  at myself.

You sound like me - my friends lovingly nicknamed me "Bubble Girl" since they all agree that I'd only be healthy/comfortable living in a bubble

Ugh! I feel your pain - that's exactly how I get. I can't believe that neither scratch nor blood tests identified what you're allergic to though! Good luck with finding out!!!

I have been allergic to tomatoes since I was a baby. I broke out in a bad rash and got sick. I have always wondered if I should try again but the smell of tomato sauce makes me sick. Kind of sad in an Italian family.
I am also allergic to mushrooms. My brother and I both get nasty headaches and vomit

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
Luckily, no food allergies at all. Me loves food  I might have considered myself "allergic" to artificial sweetners, such as aspartame, since I got a mimgraine when ever I had something with it in it, but as of late, I don't get headaches anymore.
I am highly allergic though to dogs and cats, wool, dust and pollen.

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
Not allergic to any foods but I'm allergic to lanolin. I blow up wherever I use it. It sux because so many lipglosses and lipsticks use lanolin. Thankfully Sephora lists the ingredients to many of their products.

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
I'm allergic to mushrooms - they make me vomit. I'm very allergic to fake cinnamon, I have an anaphylactic reaction so no cinnamon gum or candy.
My son is severely allergic to dairy. Luckily he has never had an anaphylactic reaction, his intestines get very irritated and bleed.

Re: Are you allergic to any food? (major or minor)
Peanut Butter and some other nut products give me asthma attacks and Honey makes me break out in the worst itchy hives! It seems as I get older I'm finding that I'm having more reactions to more foods.

It could also just be that the intense acid in pineapple is eating away at your mouth. I don't have any allergies, but too much pineapple and my lips start to chap. Some water takes care of it, though.
I was just going to say this. I really don't think you are allergic to the pineapple. Some people's mouths are sensitive to all that vitamin C mixed with the acidity. (I learned that at the Dole Plantation.)
