    I'm allergic to Morphine. Which I only found out after a surgery and I stopped breathing. I was intubated and they had to give me epinephrine. Apparently I almost croaked! Guess I wont try that recreationally! :)

    Yikes. Scary!!

    Shellfish! Which is a shame, because I used to be able to eat it, and it was delicious.

    Raspberries and whey. Learned about the whey allergy the hard way when I tried a whey protein powder a couple months ago. Lol.

    Phenergan. Bad bad reaction. Uncontrollable muscle spasms and the sensation of bugs crawling all over you and being unable to make any of it stop. That's it.

    The Sun (I'm serious...if I'm in the sun for more than an hour I start feeling sick and have a weird freckling reaction--thank you, Lupus), Cymbalta (bad muscle spasms/rapid heart rate/skin crawly feeling), dust and pet dander/pet hair.

    I'm also allergic to BS. :tongue:

    Bananas, Melons, Cats, Rabbits plus I have horrible seasonal allergies, both indoor and out.

    This is me exactly, but also throw in Walnuts and Almonds. Glad to see I'm not the only one with an allergy to bananas and melons - I get so many questions about that

    Penicillin, pollen and melon.

    And I've yet to find a shower gel that doesn't give me a rash :(

    Codeine and Vicoden. Both give me the shakes and profuse icy sweats. Then I throw up so hard I feel like I'm going to turn inside out.

    "Sensitive" to chemical spray, allergic to tetracycline. My old dog got allergic reactions to flea bites, we don't know what this one is allergic to but she can't even take cortisone cause she had didatic mange! Snoring on the couch after walk, dog park and Benedryl.

    Dairy (not lactose intollerent, allergic to all dairy) including milk chocolate *cry*
    Soy also allergic (especially soy protein isolate) this makes my lips, tongue and throat swell and I break out in hives ...it's lovely
    penicillin
    gluten intollerent (but sometimes I'll suffer through it)

    It's difficult for me to get protein in my diet with the Dairy and Soy allergies but there are products out there, I have found a very good vegan protein powder that works really well and tastes acceptable. It's really hard to find a protein or energy bar that is dairy free, soy free and gluten free but Zing makes a couple of them... not very high in protein but it gets the job done.

    May I ask what the name of the vegan protein powder is? I can't have dairy either, and it's difficult sometimes to get alot of protein without eatting red meat at every meal lol.

    Actually bananas are one of the most allergenic fruit ever!

    Foods: Oat, wheat, soy, corn, milk, tomatoes, PEANUTS, cashews, citrus fruits
    Grasses/trees: Literally all 60 of them that I was tested for, except African savannah grass (lol, say what?)
    Drugs: bacitracin (a common antibiotic, used in meds like neosporin)
    Other: dust mites, cats, dogs, bed bugs

    Yeah, and I'm not even joking. lol, this is why I'm devoting my life to immunology research!!

    Penicillin, mold, (imagine that) and I have issues with excessive perfume/cologne. I will have an attack if it's too much, and have to have an inhaler. It's never gotten so bad that I've had to go to the ER or anything, but I sure feel crappy after an attack.

    Just fyi, being lactose intolerant is not a food allergy at all. Lactose intolerance involves being unable to digest lactose; it has nothing to do with your immune system. Being allergic to milk means that your body has antibodies that actually will attack milk protein and cause an autoimmune reaction.

    Seeing as how I've already commented, I guess I should add my allergies:

    - Dogs, cats, rabbits... they figure all furry animals :sad: BUT I have four dogs nonetheless :bigsmile:
    - Dust
    - Dairy
    - Eggs
    - Tobacco :laugh:
    - Bananas (suspected)
    - Latex (found this one out the HARD way :grumble: )

    and I'm asthmatic, so while I'm not allergic to some things, they do act as a trigger for my asthma :grumble: : ANYTHING scented, flowers, grass, etc. Fun times. I spend 90% of the year with sinus infections.

    um, yes i know this. which is why i said "not really 'allergic'" .. you may want to read something before commenting on it..

    When I was little I used to break out in an itchy rash every time I ate something with a certain artificial red dye in it. Since then I've avoided all artificial red dyes, so who knows if I'm still allergic. My mom is highly allergic to sulfites, so I wonder if I will develop it one day.

    Also, I'm not allergic, but I'm definitely intolerant to chocolate. It really sucks and I've been in denial, but after eliminating other foods, that is the issue. Major stomach issues, plus I get really sleepy and lethargic. Guess I will have to find a new favorite food...:frown:
