OMG I`m allergic to veggies!

I personally don't have this problem but did watch a coworker go off to the hospital in an ambulence because she ate something with celery in it. She can't have several raw fruits and veggies unless cooked and she did the full allergy testing. Because I would be absolutely heartbroken to be allergic to any fruits and veggies, maybe see an allergist? Good Luck!

Thats kinda what happens when I eat Mango. Are you sure its all of those and not just one?

All I can really suggest is not eating something you're allergic to.

I notice it when I eat fruit with skin on it. My cheecks get very hot and tingly, but from the inside, the are not hot on the outside. Sounds weird and hard to describe but they feel like they are hot and wet. I'm thinking it might be some type of allergy but it's not enough to bother me so I still eat them. :ohwell:

Raw carrots tend to make my mouth itch. It may be that you are not getting them clean enough. Just a suggestion, since I really have no clue what causes it!!

It may be pestisides you are allergic too. I am not an organic expert, but I would try to buy organic ones and see if that helps, especially if it happens when you are eating them raw, but not cooked.

If you buy organic and it doesn't happen, then you can assume it is the pesticides and then just experiment with soaking them or using veggie washes if you don't want to keep buying organic.

Eat the veggies seperately to find out which one or ones are the culprit. Eliminate those that bother you or eat them only cooked. Try stirfry as a healthy alternative to raw salad. My SIL is very allergic to raw fruits and vegetables as well as nuts. She can't have nuts, but she can have most fruits and vegetables cooked without a problem.

you should get tested for food allergies by an allergist, it can be dangerous if you consume them and you have an allergies to them. Stop taking them for now just to make sure. the reaction can be felt immediate and could have a rebound reaction up to 8hrs after. Most comment problem can be respiratory, skin and GI problem... beware listen to your body

nuts do that to me and my cousin as well. You need to eliminate one thing at a time and see which is causing the reaction.

My adult niece just presented with a similar allergy to fresh fruits with the skins on. The doctor suggested an easy fix- just put whatever fruit or vegetable you are going to eat into the microwave for 30 seconds before eating and it effectively destroys the part of the veggie that causes the allergy.

Hope this works for you.

I get that reaction a lot from raw veggies and fruit, but mostly (not always cos I am allergic to melons and grapefruit) its the pesticides, so if you wash them well it may be better. If it is a true allergy you will have a skin rash as well. Hope this helps

I've had this for my entire life. Well not so much vegetables but raw fruits in particular. I can't eat fruits like strawberries, grapes, watermelon, apples, or grapefruit without having an allergic reaction. In my case it is a condition known as Oral Allergy Syndrome. Basically I have severe allergic reactions to pollens, grasses, and weeds that are outside. Whatever I'm allergic to outside cross reacts with certain fruits and vegetables to create a food allergy. During this time of the year in particular, if I eat a raw fruit my tongue / throat / lips will swell up and I will have a a lot of irritation in my gums. Do you have bad seasonal allergies as well?

If you do and you know what you're allergic to outside - there are guides that will tell you what foods to avoid. For example, webmd says:

Ragweed Allergy: “Ragweed, in theory, cross-reacts with bananas and melons, so people with ragweed allergies may react to honeydew, cantaloupe, and watermelons, or tomatoes,” says Warren V. Filley MD, from the Oklahoma Allergy & Asthma Clinic in Oklahoma City.

Zucchini, sunflower seeds, dandelions, chamomile tea, and echinacea also go on that list, notes the AAAAI's web site.

Birch Pollen Allergy: People with birch pollen allergies may react to kiwi, apples, pears, peaches, kiwi, plums, coriander, fennel, parsley, celery, cherries, carrots, hazelnuts, and almonds.

Grass Allergy: People with grass allergy may react to "peaches, celery, tomatoes, melons, and oranges," the AAAAI states.

Latex Rubber Allergy: Like pollen allergy, people allergic to latex rubber may react to "bananas, avocados, kiwi, chestnut, and papaya," the AAAAI states.

Hope that helps! I would talk to an allergy specialist about it if I were you.

how do you know its everything in your salad? or could it be just one or some are causing the problem? are you adding dressing?
I'm allergic to pineapple! it irritates my mouth like no other!

Could be from the pesticides. try eating Organic or get a good Veggie wash. See if the helps.

I was going to say the same thing...
