Cantaloupe, watermelon, avocados..make me itch. Oral allergies? I still enjoy all of those foods.

Hi ZaZumbaDeb,

I wonder what Cantaloupe, watermelon, and avocados have in common? I love avocado and melons, I am glad you can still enjoy them. Hope the itching isn't too bad.

Oral allergies? Do you mean inhaled allergies?

Hope you day is wonderful,

Both my kids are severely allergic to nuts. DS to tree nuts and DD to peanuts and tree nuts. We avoid all nuts to prevent anaphylaxis (a life threatening allergic reaction). Both require Benadryl and an Epi-pen available at all times.

Food allergies are nothing to take lightly for they can become life threatening. BTDT with DS. A good resource is http://www.foodallergy.org

Coral,

Thank you for the link:)

We are doing well with the diet change. When tested they looked for both long term and anaphylaxis reaction. So far he does not have any anaphylaxis results. We are fortunate here. Now that we are watching what foods he eats, I am amazed at how many people have allergies and how supportive people are!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

I am severely allergic to tomatoes. Can't even eat food that has touched a tomato. Can't slice a tomato for another person without my fingers swelling up. I'll break out in hives, or else go directly to snaphylactic shock. They are deadly. In many recipes I substitute tomatillos which are closer to cape gooseberries than tomatoes).

I once dated a man who was allergic to gluten, soy, corn and was lactose intolerant and had problems processing fats and oils. it was very hard. most of the time we ate out, it was japanese or thai. Rice is a good non-allergen food. how about rice flour?

it could be a sodium chloride sensitivity.
