    Boy, you learn somehthing new everyday! I feel really, really bad for those of you who have to deal with this. Sounds positively awful to never be able to enjoy the goodness of fresh/raw fruits and veggies.

    Do you know if this condition can be helped with allergy shots?

    my sister in law has the same symptoms, and her doctor has discovered it is a yeast problem. causes pain in her throat, swelling, and even changes her voice so she sounds like a little old lady. she avoids the fruits with the most sugars, and eats more veggies. takes a multi vitamin just to be on the safe side. now and then when it flares up, due to fruit, or breads, etc, other natural sugar, she often has to do one of those cleanses you buy from the health food store.

    For instance, 2 capsules provides you the equivalent of eating 1/2 cup carrots, 1 mango, 9 1/2 cups bracoli, 8 bell peppers, 8 tomatoes, 8 cups of spicanch, 2 1/2 cup sweet potatos, 5 cups Papayas, 4 cups of brussels sprouts, 6 cups oat bran e.t.c. While this is not a replacement for eating the actual fruit and vegetable, it will provide more nutrients.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I may look into that.

    I used to eat 2-3 apples a day until I was about 12. That's when mine hit. Totally sucks. I don't mind cooked fruit, but raw is so much better. Dangit.

    Since you can have canned fruits, try draining off the syrup and rinsing them in a small colander to get rid of the extra sugar. When you say you dislike cooked fruits, do you mean by themselves, or in recipes as well? If you like cobblers, pie, etc. then you could just work small fruit desserts into your diet. And depending on how sever the reaction is and how much you like certain fruits, it may be worth it to take some benadryl a bit before you eat.

    My wife is allergic to Fruits and Vegetables. There is some sort of protein in them that gives her the same reaction that your having. There are a few fruits that she can have raw. Apples and Pineapples. As for Veggies she will have a small amount of fresh Cabbage, Lettuce, Onion and thats a hit or miss with her having a reaction. Most veggies have to be cooked. To get the nutrients from fruits and veggies, she drinks orange juice, V8, and V8 fusion with out a reaction. Processed fruits and vegetables seem to be okay for her to eat. But some times she gets curious or irritated and will try cherry tomatoes, etc. I have been with her 8 years and have never had to take her to the hospital for a reaction (knock on wood). Most of the time her throat swells up a bit or she gets real itchy.

    We have a Costco Card and i will let her know about the Fuitfestiv and Juicefestiv supplements.

    Im sorry that i couldnt be of much help. If you have any specific questions for her feel free to ask.

    You could try grilling them. Not the same as raw, but it's a start.
