    So, it's not a true allergy, and it's not a FOOD, per se... but drinking alcohol makes me sneeze for about 5 minutes straight! Some types are worse than others (red wine is usually the worst, and it's my favorite!). I think it has something to do with sulfates as other aged foods can cause it too... certain cheeses, even coffee sometimes.

    ...not that I've ever let that stop me! :drinker:

    Mint and 90% of stuff in the mint family. I have to be very careful of spices. Then there's crab, shrimp, and crawfish, melon and strawberries. I can do melon and strawberries in controlled portions but crab and shrimp and crawfish which make me puff up like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

    After I got pregnant I could no longer eat almonds, cashews, or any type of seafood. I also can't take vitamins or anything with Omega-3 or fish oils added. Almonds were my favorite! :( The allergies have seemingly gotten worse the more time that passes.

    Apples :( And especially now, in the summer, they look so juicy and delicious. That is the one I miss. It's actually a pollen allergy. I'm also allerigic to most raw fruits and veggies, which makes it a beast to lose weight. I can't snack on carrots or celery.

    Ooohh, my sister has similar allergies!! Apples, carrots, celery, berries, nuts, etc. etc... it totally sucks!! :(

    Wine!! It makes my nose run & I start to sneeze a lot because of the sulfites. But I have a solution: I keep a box of kleenex handy if I plan on having a glass (or two, or three)... ;) I do love my wine.

    Alcohol.........I can get away with one drink usually, but more than that I start puking. I've never been drunk because I get sick before I can ever get to that point. I doubt I'm missing anything :)

    I don't have any food allergies, but if I eat fresh pineapple or black walnut I get irritating mouth ulcers. Fresh tomato, eggplant and a few other foods will do it sometimes if eaten alone, but even a brownie with black walnuts or a fruit salad that contains fresh pineapple will do it, even if I pick the pineapple out. Just the fact that it was there is usually enough.

    So, I don't eat pineapple and stick to English walnuts. It's been this way all my life so I don't really think about it except occasionally when I have to pass up a really delicious looking fruit salad because of the pineapple.

    I'm allergic to shellfish, and I really enjoy shrimp but it will kill me. Sesame seeds, the core of a pineapple (weird I know), wheat, gluten (in almost everything), fresh coconut, dairy......it sucks

    .
    or organic wine has no sulfates and actually tastes good! Sulfates is also what gives people the headaches after drinking a whole bottle

    I am allergic to chocolate

    Me too, although I have to say, it's actually turned out to be kind of a good thing. So much easier to avoid candy when you're forced to cut chocolate out of your diet.

    I am allergic to peanut butter and shrimp, so sad. Developed the shrimp one working in a sea food place while pregnant, no fun.

    I had a terrible reaction to cantaloupe once. I ate some and then went right to the gym and after my work out, my skin was broken out and my throat started to close up. I've since been tested for a cantaloupe allergy (which is very rare) and I don't have one. However, I was told that sometimes when you're allergic to one thing your body will think something else is the thing you are allergic to. Having a reaction to cantaloupe but not being allergic is very common with people who are allergic to tree pollen, which I am severely allergic to. I still eat my cantaloupe but always keep Bendryl nearby and I never eat a ton of it.

    Corn. Which really sucks because I am in Texas so that eliminates 1/2 the menu at most restaurants. One of my fav places to go I can only order 1 thing that isn't corn!
