Fruit Allergy

I noticed that whenever I eat more () fresh fruit I get a feeling of itching and uncomfortable in my throat as I swallow. I have the tightness, itching and sores on my lips. (All symptoms disappear within half an hour or less). these symptoms appear every time I eat fresh apples, watermelons, peaches, strawberries, and some others. This makes it very difficult to enjoy eating fresh fruit. Is this an allergy, and gravity? Is there any treatments to help this? Thank you!

I even allergies, but for stone fruit in them. This is a minor allergy, and there is not much to do about it. But what I find helps, is that after everything I eat fruit, I just eat bread or something after him, because it soothes the itching in the throat. Also, I'm sure you could take as Benadryl (if it does not make you drowsy and as it does for me) or another anti histamine to help.

This is called cross-reaction. That's where one who has an allergy to one thing can develop an allergy to other things. birch pollen has been mentioned. I Foud a link with a very helpful article for you.

My husband suffers from allergies and avoid similar new version of these fruits. It may, however, eat them cooked.

u well be allergic to fruits and do not eat

This is called oral allergy syndrome. I had this problem with all the fruit and raw vegetables too. Even watermelon juice on my hands would break out in a rash. It is linked to pollen allergies. I went to an allergist and had plans desensitation for my allergies to pollen. After five years from being on the shots, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables has gone!

It turns out that what I suffer too! I'm not alone! Yay!

I think this may be caused by what is called a food intolerance. WebMD.com defines food intolerance:

"An abnormal response of the organism to a food ingested that is not an allergy. Examples are food poisoning and reactions to chemicals in foods or beverages such as caffeine. "

The way I help this problem without going to the doctor taking two antacids, or avoid eating fruit at a point where your stomach and / or throat feels uncomfortable.

However, it is always best to consult a doctor if you think this is serious or not. Your doctor may do skin tests to see if you are truly allergic to certain fruits or not. ;-)

What happens to me too! He never used, but a few years ago I was exposed to fields of flowering canola crop and had a case very itchy hives on my right leg as a whole, and since then I can not eat: apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, plums, without my lips, gums and throat itchy and swollen feeling. I can still eat berries, melons, kiwis, etc. I am convinced that I'm some kind of overload of Allergy and now my body is going nuts. Speaking of nuts, I can not eat nuts or raw almonds now either. One of your answering recommended desensitization shots - that sounds good to me!

i hav 2!! i thoght I was only 1! just eat like bread or juice, eating fruit dreink !!!!!

I have the same thing but every time I eat fruits, my lips itch like crazy.

I have food allergies too, your best bet is too go to any allergist and explain what happens when you eat these fruits. They will test you and see how your body reacts when it encounters these things and then the doctor will tell you what you can do about it. It is also possible that you are allergic to the skin of fruit and not the result himself. But you should go see a doctor and get tested. Good luck
