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...
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?
Does anyone know what type of pollen allergy would be responsible for a SWEET PEAS/PEAS OAS syndrome reaction? My daughter has asthma, eczema, & allergies and she gets EXTREMELY itchy roof of mouth and lips when she eats sweet peas.
