Yep. Explains why I can eat apple pie and be chilling but if I eat a fresh apple I look like I've got fresh lip injections 😢

I'm almost 24 and I've had those exact allergies you described with birch related fruits and veggies since I was 5. (except for pears. Wow I feel so lucky to be able to eat them)

I've already had appointments with allergists but aside from that, this is the very first time I hear someone describe my allergy so precisely. Well, I know you're also an allergist, but still !!

It makes me very happy as very often people don't believe me or make fun of me when I explain my allergies. "Peach allergy doesn't exist" or "If you can eat an apple pie, you can eat apples" are sentences I've heard hundreds of times in my life. And I love all of those forbidden fruits. 😢

So thank you very much for spreading the word and making us (I know I can't be alone in this) feel validated ☺️

I'm allergic to pineapple. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that it is SIGNIFICANTLY worse when cooked.

I have a buddy who is allergic to fruit. The worst being apples. He has had anaphylaxis to it.

but he can eat it if its cooked with no issues. Like apple pie!

Allergies are super weird

This explains so much!! I can not eat fresh peaches, apricots, pear skin, etc. without a reaction but one of my favourite things is jarred peaches and pears and I never have reaction! I have a lot of allergies and a lot of them are considered abnormal so it’s interesting for me to see other people with similar things

I'm allergic to most of the latex fruit syndrome list - but my 3 anaphylactic are avocado, banana, & avocado.

This possibly explains why I have issues with fresh cherries but can sometimes have things with processed cherries! Thanks for this!

Why are all doctors like soo chill. Never met a bad apple.

I get that with uncooked cabbage and table pepper. Not the wholw body reaction but a small mouth one.

I had OAS for a while (nothing fatal, but I would get really bad ulcers and get itchy), and while I was in the hospital for something unrelated I let them know I was allergic to fruit, and when they served me breakfast the next day nearly everything was touching fruit. The worst part is they refused to let me leave if I didn't finish at least half the food so I had to carefully eat around the contaminated part. (Thankfully the allergies mostly resolved themselves and I can eat fruit again as of a few months ago!)

I have a relative that are allergic to Birch pollen, Grass pollen, Mugwort (hope the last one is right translated) And he is allergic to so many fruits, veggies and berries, He even react severally on normal ice berg salad and Rice. They doctor said its possible but she refused to write salad and rice in his papers. because she didn't believe it as possible although he told her all the symptoms and it was the same as with all the other fruit. Even i he cooked fruit/caned fruit he still have a bad allergic reaction. so he dont get other food in school sometimes for everything is not on paper from the doctor.

Hi so I think I have a few things I may be allergic to and your explanations are helping. I have had itching in my mouth and tongue from apples and fresh pineapple but not the can pineapple or frozen pineapple and from pears. I have had mild swelling in my throat from hibiscus it was in a drink I had from Starbucks I was unaware of the allergy because i didn’t know it was in the drink I got about half way through the drink and couldn’t swallow anymore and it was semi hard to breathe. I took an Allegra that I had to crush up and it helped a bit. I’ve talked to a few doctors but they try to say that those aren’t allergic reactions and that it’s not real that I’ve had the flu but then I test negative for the flu.

I have Birch tree and ragweed tall and short allergies. When I go to places with an abundance of birch trees in so miserable and I can't eat fruit from the area

[dayd]

Any guidance for allergic reactions? I can name the foods but it doesn’t make sense and local Dr does not take it seriously. So far I’ve reacted to Greek yogurt (TooGood), sugar free liquid iv and coconut milk.

[katrinakeith]

Almost all raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts make my mouth itch!!!

[LaraNotLazy]

When i was in middle school i ate bananas and apples very often. And i was completely fine. But for some reason when i turned 13 i suddenly started getting itches in my mouth, lips, and a little in the inside of my ears after i ate a banana. I have that with apples and pears as well. (Not raspberries though) Im 15 now and i just ate an apple and again those itches! But is it possible to just developpe cross alergies in puberty or something? 'Cause i didn't have that when i was younger!

I'm allergic to Molbarries. I had half of a mulbarry once and was sent to the hospital. But if I have cinnamon, my face feels numb. Can someone explain that?
