Anyone else allergic to broccoli?

I know it sounds crazy and I don't want to be allergic to this amazing veggie, but I think I really am. Whenever I eat it or anything that has broccoli in it (pizza, pasta, stir fry, salad) within 15-20 minutes I get a Massive Cramping stomach ache, fever, hives, hot skin, and am pretty much out of commission lying in bed till the next day. I don't, um, digest it, to put it nicely. Is it possible to be allergic to one solitary veggie?

    Carry around Benadryl. That can be serious.

    I have mild allergic symptoms with melons and dragon fruit. Broccoli, I just hate. :)

    Sure, you can be allergic to just one thing.

    If it's something you really like, I'm sorry you have to give it up. I went through that with bananas. It sucks.
