does anyone else have this problem? i seem to be all of a sudden randomly allergic to rosemary bread (it makes my entire body, all my organs inside my body, and my eyeballs itch like CRAZY!). when i used to be able to eat it all the time. just thinking about it is making me feel itchy all over again.

:c

what the heck!?

    Are you sure it's the bread and not all the new allergins floating about due to our early spring?

    I just read about this in my Anatomy class. It can happen all of the sudden. Some people can eat seafood for a very long time and then become allergic to it.

    It does happen. I've developed a sensitivity to wheat recently. Never bothered me before. Weird.

    Sorry you're suffering, friend :frown:

    yeah cause i know what my pollen and such allergies feel like and this isnt it. i've got those going too but this was INTENSE!!!!!! D:

    it happened the day before yesterday and i thought it was the new dryer sheets my brother's girlfriend bought (she bought scented ones when we usually have "free and clear" ones) because i was wearing a shirt that had been washed with them for the first time. but then yesterday i was munching on a piece of rosemary bread and it happened again. and i had also had rosemary bread the day before for lunch (i had to change my shirt midday, right before that) when it started. so i'm pretty sure its the bread :frown:

    maybe i should get tested for allergies. my grandma was allergic to wheat among other things. i already have her lactose intolerance.

    I've also experienced something similar with tomatoes and yellow onions. I love tomatoes, NO!!! I also suddenly became lactose intolerant a few years ago. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this sudden change.

    yes it does happen, over the last couple of years (since I changed my eating habits) I have become intolerant of anything acidic, so most fruits I can't eat, that also goes for anything that has citric acid in it. I also can't have soy, I have developed allergies to, I don't know what, that's floating around in the air, it's not from something new since I have lived in this area my whole life, and my allergy symptoms are changing too. My son has also developed lactose intolerance in the last year.
