Eggs, since my early 20s.0

I don't know if this counts as an "allergy" but it's definitely an intolerance: greasy/fried foods and red meat that isn't super lean. I will barf everywhere if I have anything fried or greasy.
I'm also perfectly ok with this! Keeps me away from it.0 -
Maltitol. Only sugar alcohol that bothers me, but it makes me feel really ill - nauseated, horrible gas, you get the idea. Happens every now and again if someone gives me a sugar-free candy and I don't realize so I can check.
There's something (or was something - I've not had one in 20 yrs) in the Dairy Queen Dilly bars that is even worse. If I eat one, you can set your watch by the time I had better be in the bathroom. 15 min. Precisely.0 -
i'm very lactose intolerant!0

I am not able to eat bananas, honeydew, cantaloupe, oranges, or kiwi without my mouth going numb. It's super disappointing as all these things are delicious.0

They can show up at any time...my dad's celiac disease didn't rear its head until his early 70s....0

No intolerances, yay!0

I'm really sorry for laughing, but that's hilarious! Oh Dilly Bars... now I kind of want one.0 -
As of today: wheat, corn, barley, rye, oats, (pretty much all grains except quinoa and rice) dairy (all dairy including cheese), pork, apples, grapes, dates, green beans, onions, eggplant, mushrooms, beans (all beans)... most things... seriously... most things....
They started showing up in my teens and early twenties and have just compounded in the last 4 years.
I can eat peanuts. I don't even like peanut butter. I'd really like to eat food again though. Trade you.
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!0 -
Didn't really put two and two together about food sensitivities until an ENT/allergist diagnosed their resulting GERD as a major contributor to frequent sinus infections and asthma-like symptoms. Cured the GERD; got rid of the sinus infections. Go figure.
Sadly, included in my list (as diagnosed through a tine test) are
onion family, including garlic
tomatoes
canteloupe
peanuts
tree nuts
chocolate
also more recently, lactose in fresh milk.
Now, cooking is my hobby, Italian is my favorite cuisine. What do you think bothers me more? Losing chocolate or garlic, onions, and tomatoes?0 -
I don't know if it counts as an intolerance, but I can't eat more than a couple of macadamia nuts at a time because they hurt my mouth too much.0

Wheat - particularly white bread and pasta. A large pasta meal will literally make me hungover the next morning. Whole grain bread and pasta are better, but I still can't eat much of it in a day or it will mess me up.
Cantaloupe - I love it, but it does NOT love me.0 -
Anything made with regular plain white flour kills me. My guts cry, groan and grumble for hours. Whole wheat breads are better, but still a problem. Interestingly enough though, organic bread is just fine. No muttering at all.
Apples in pretty much any form except raw or basic apple sauce give me a wicked belly ache and always have.
Wow, exactly the same as me!! I've started noticing the flour thing lately! And the apples always, but I eat them anyway. Any idea why!?0 -
I'm watermelon intolerant. The smell of it makes me gag, and lately, even seeing it makes me queasy!0

After I had my boys I was lactose intolerant. Thankfully I can do lactose pills to fix that. But after my gallbladder surgery my body can no longer handle large amounts of lettuce/leafy greens. I LOVE spinach and lettuce and all that leafy goodness. The next day is NOT fun if I partake of too much. I still do it on occasion because I just can't help myself. I love my greens!0

I would so cry if I lost my garlic!!!! Tomatoes are a staple in my diet!0 -
Mine is a bona fide allergy to citrus oil found in the peels of oranges (all varieties), grapefruits, and tangerines. Full-on anaphylaxis if ingested and hives with facial swelling if I even share airspace with them. Grocery shopping? Yeah, right. I cannot even go into a grocery store and can shop open air markets only after sending in a scout and checking wind direction! And even then I cannot actually touch the fruits and veggies because they may have been touched by someone who touched the oranges.
Needless to say, I do not leave my house without having taken two different antihistamines with more doses in my pocket and at least one Epipen on me.0 -
The only intolerance I have is shellfish..
I have numerous food allergies
bananas
melons of any kinds
pecans
walnuts,
macadamia nuts
avocados
I'm allergic to avocados too...I thought I was the only one. It kinda sucks though, because they look delicious and they're good for you...plus I always have to disect my sushi to make sure they didn't sneak any in there.
Food intolerances...no I don't have any of those.0 -

Chocolate. By. Far. The. Worst. I cry for you.0 -
I am allergic to grapes, raisens and wines to the point of needing benedryal immediately if I ingest any.
I can only take wheat in small quantaties so I just avoid it. Horrible intestinal distress after ingesting a normal size serving of bread or pasta.0
