Having everyone tell you that foods such as fish and nuts are really healthy for you...but you're allergic to both.lol. Never an excuse for eating bad, but does anyone else have this issue?

    I was going to guess vacuum cleaners.

    But I have Crohn's, so most fruits and veggies are out for me, as well as all nuts, berries and whole grain so I understand completely!

    What would suck even more is actually loving those foods and not being able to eat them! :grumble:

    I don't have any food allergies so I don't feel your pain but I do sympathize. :flowerforyou:

    My daughter made me puke every time I ate fish when I was pregnant for her, I love fish and she is now a vegetarian. I missed fish for just that short period of time so I know how you feel.

    Having Insulin Resistance and not being able to eat like a normal person who is trying to lose weight. No fruit, no grains, no fun :sad:

    I was eating healthy and having a hard time losing weight even after dropping calories intake to under 1,500 and exercising 6 days a week for an hour a day so I went to the doc and found out that what I was eating was causing me more harm than good. SO SUCKS!!

    I'm not allergic to anything, but I would cry every day if I couldn't eta peanut butter or shell fish. Literally cry. I LOVE PB AND SEAFOOD. I have a friend that is allergic to wheat and corn....she can't have breads or beer. THAT WOULD SUCK!

    I don't know what I'd do if I woke up one day and was allergic to fish and nuts *shudders*. The scary thing is that a peanut allergy can hit you at any time. I'd die without my peanut butter!! Actually, I'd die WITH it if I were allergic. . . .

    I just don't like fish or nuts, so I really don't eat them... maybe some peanut butter once in a while, but that's the extent of it. And my husband makes me try a bite of his fish when he has it, he's trying to get me to like seafood

    You are responsible for your own dietary needs. If one were to offer nutrition advice based on every possible allergy, then they would only be able to recommend water. Obviously, if the advice doesn't work for you, then you don't have to take it. Move on to the next thing.

    That being said the unsaturated fats in nuts and fish are extremely important. I really don't know of other sources for those. Wish I could help.

    I am allergic to blue cheese which sucks but at least I know why I always seemed to have a asthma attack after going out to eat.
    If I was allergic to fish and nuts I would be seriously bummed out, but it is better to know.

    My question is why is so many people now allergic to peanuts? When I grew up I never knew ANYONE that was allergic and back then a PBJ sandwich was a staple in our neighborhood. Just wondering....

    One theory is that peanuts are more prevalent as an ingredient now and kid are overexposed to them at a younger age.

    Fish aren't good to eat anyway. Poor fish. :(
    Nuts are good but that sucks.
    Anyway, I find that veggies, fruits, beans, and oats are delicious and healthy!!

    Yes, I've heard of people just allergic to chocolate but when I met someone allergic to caffeine I was like ahh that's terrible, it is in so many things that you don't realize! She had to be really careful with reading labels.

    No but I know a girl who is deathly allergic to both. It really sucks for her to try and eat at restaurants too. I guess I kind of feel your pain when they say to eat greek yogurt & make milk protein shakes and use yogurt in place of all the high calorie things...oh well, that's why I must use moderation.

    I'm allergic to the yolk in eggs, so no mayo, no light mayo, no scrambled eggs, no omelets. Unless I take the time to take the yolk out.
