You have to be careful to ask how your food would be prepared: contact with surfaces that have been used with known allergens, oils used in preparation, etc. I was recently on Maui and every restaurant was so accommodating and helpful. They seemed to really be informed and up to date wit’s procedures. Some of these were higher end restaurants, but still….
Hello @Elle Gee and welcome to the community! Thank you for sharing your experience, it's so helpful to hear how other's manage their allergies. Especially with traveling!
As being allergic and asthmatic person just wanted to know why there is continue runny nose due to climate change that u can't even take normal breath. Ur cloths get wet because of runny nose that flow is like running tap but funny things is that u can't close that tap. What kind of symptoms these are?
Hello @Pranoti Ingale and welcome to the community! A runny nose is a sign of allergies. Other symptoms for allergies can be an itchy nose or eyes, sneezing, rashes, cough, chest tightness, among others. Allergens are the most common asthma trigger , this is called allergic asthma . Your doctor can diagnose you with allergic asthma by performing an exam, talking about your medical and family history, and/or performing allergy testing . The best way to avoid allergic reactions is by avoiding...
@BenR that's interesting what your allergist said about "gateway allergens". Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) symptoms can be worse with high pollen counts, that might've been why you reacted to the tomato sauce like you mentioned. @Sally Raynard welcome to the community! It sounds like a second opinion and allergy testing may be beneficial for you. Both Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU), also known as Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU), and OAS can be confusing, especially with limited...
Also tomato’s and strawberries will enhance your allergy symptoms. According to my allergist . She called them gateway allergins. In Dominican Republic I had tomato sauce on a pasta . I got bad hives . They think it was what ever was in the air mixed with the tomatoes perfect storm .
I have been dealing with chronic idiopathic urticaria for 2 years. I don’t typically see hives, just itching all over randomly. I get itchy mouth, tongue and throat as well from time to time. I have thought it was CIU. I have reacted to foods at times - walnuts, eggplant, bananas, avocado… but mostly I really can’t pinpoint my trigger. Maybe it’s both CIU and OAS? I know from allergy testing 20 + years ago that I am allergic to most environmental things- especially dust, mold, pollen and...
Hello team, And wanted to thank you @Moe M. for ur kind reply. And I was unable to reply to this email so please take me sincere apologise.

Nd I love that, when our community welcome me with that msg "u r not alone" Yes we are not ❤️ More power to you all U people are doing great work All the best...
I learned some time ago that the combination of wheat bread and fresh tomato would give me a "head cold" and I got a lot of those before I figured it out. I cut out wheat for a while, because I'm wheat sensitive, and I could eat fresh tomatoes just fine, but it's easier to avoid tomatoes, so I do that, with minimal wheat consumption. I just got another "head cold" with no tomatoes in sight and the only thing I'd had different recently was fresh bell pepper... with bread and hummus. It always...
Hi Moe, thank you! I have not had a recent allergy test, I only know from experience that I react to grass pollen and mold spores. Interesting about the mugwort pollen.... I'll ask my doctor about it - thanks for the allergy testing link. Ten plus years ago I had a food allergy test and I wasn't allergic wheat or tomato, only eggs and dairy. I was trying to get to the bottom of my chronic joint pain, which was miraculously solved by eliminating wheat from my diet, per the doc's suggestion...
Welcome to the community @ConeMonkey ! Thank you for sharing your experience, it's always helpful hearing from others. It's interesting that your symptoms are similar to a head cold! Have you had any recent allergy testing done? I'm curious if you have any allergic reactions to pollen. Tomatoes are similar to Timothy and Orchard grass pollen, bell peppers are similar to Mugwort weed pollen. It is weed pollen season currently, so pollen counts are peaking. During peak pollen times, people...
I have CSU for 3 year until now. Now I still take histamin every day for keep it no itchy. I am planning to get pregnant. I so worry about it. Is it genetic? So I hope you can advise me. What kind of histamine can I take before and while I am pregnant?
Hello @CarlaR and welcome to the community! 🤗 Have you had any allergy testing done? It would be good to bring this up to an allergist to confirm if it's a food allergy vs. oral allergy syndrome (OAS). Having OAS symptoms to nuts can also be signs of anaphylaxis. Nuts are more likely to cause a serious allergic reaction which must be treated with epinephrine and immediate medical attention. If you don’t know if you are having OAS symptoms or anaphylaxis to any foods, it's important to talk...
Hi there, I have started to show signs of oral allergy syndrome, itchiness in mouth and lips when eating avocado, almonds and peanut butter. In the last 2 days I’ve noticed when eating things with rapeseed oil (canola oil) I’m having the same symptoms along with a feeling of pressure in my sinuses and throat. Could this be a sign of oral allergy syndrome?
