Re: Are you allergic to any foods?
All shellfish...I have NEVER had shellfish but just the smell of it closes my throat, swells my eyes shut and I get hives so I could only imagine what would happen if I ate it.

Mushrooms, and weirdly cinnamon candy or gum. My tongue gets all swollen and painful. I avoid real cinnamon too, just in case.
I really should be tested to see if it's a red food dye or cinnamon, but I'm too lazy to make the appointment.
Not so weird, I am also allergic to cinnamon candy and gum. Makes my mouth swollen and painful. I haven't had any problems with real cinnamon though.
Me too!! I can't chew Big Red or have Red Hots or anything like that without my mouth getting red and swollen!!
Who knew so many people were allergic to cinnamon gum and candy? Now I can tell DH to stop making fun of me.

Re: Are you allergic to any foods?
Pistachios and cashews, but no other type of nut. And I didn't develop it until a few years ago which was really scary because one day I ate chinese food with cashews and my throat immediately started to close up, my whole face ballooned and my eyes and nose started oozing out of nowhere. It was so bizarre because it was such a bad reaction out of nowhere. I hate it because I'm so used to eating whatever I want. Now I have to be careful about everything. I've had reactions from people eating with dipping their fork in my plate after they ate something with cashews or pistachios.

Re: Are you allergic to any foods?
As a child, I was allergic to milk - I grew out of that.
My DD has (or is considerd) anaphalxis - I carry Epi Pens and Benedryl wherever we go. She is severly allergic to milk (dairy), eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish.
She is also allergic to wheat and peas.
It's impossible to feed her.

And what if you are? I'm so nosey
I'm allergic to almonds and just recently began having an allergic reaction to butternut squash. Isn't that weird? I mean, I knwo you can have an allergic reaction the first time or the thousandth time you eat something, but I literally grew up eating that.
I USED to be allergic to peanuts and milk, but outgrew that allergy by my teens.
I actually had a similar & very scary experience. I never had any food allergies. Then back around '99 I started having terrible allergic reactions, hives, swollen eyes, cloing throat. It was happening like once a month. I went to allergists, got blood and skin tests and came up allergic to SO many things. Nuts, especially almonds & walnuts, a bunch of fruit w/ skin (apples, peaches were the worst), strawberries, corn, shell fish, etc. It was insane. It was very upsetting and is still somewhat of a mystery. It has gotten less & less & I haven't had one in about a year (knock on wood). I have incorporated some of the foods back into my diet, but I am always nervous. I now carry an epi pen & benedryl everywhere. I was actually diagnosed w/ Crohn's disease the year they started & my specialist thinks that my immune system was basically attacking itself & that I don't have true food allergies. Honestly, I don't think I will ever really know what it was all about. It is very frustrating.
Most of the foods you mention have histamines and are highly allergic foods to a lot of people.
Histamines contribute to the inflammation response of the body which makes complete sense as it relates to Crohns. You are probably not alleric to them but sensitive to them. If you are flaring I bet its worse.

Honeydew, and I used to realy like that fruit, my lips swell and my mouth feels really cold.  I cannot have anything that was even on the same surface it was on. I carry benedryl with me too.

I have an issue with cinnamon as well. It makes me get very red & feel almost faint.
