interesting allergic reaction discovery

[BDraw]

Several months back I discovered I am allergic to kiwi. It makes my mouth and throat feel really broken out and raw. :eek:

Today, being a little forgetful, I took a very small bite (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) of my son's kiwi to see if it was ripe and okay to eat. Within minutes my mouth and throat did their thing! :eek: :eek:

Within 15 minutes or so, I thought about taking some lime juice, since it is alkaline at 7.5, and made some lime juice, sweetened with stevia. It did the trick -- soreness gone within minutes. :) :) :)

;) Just thought inquiring minds should know -- hopefully you'll never need to check it out for yourself.

That is so interesting.. did you eat kiwi before a few months ago and never have a problem? Or is this an allergy that just came about? How sad to not be able to eat kiwi :(


My sister has alwasy eaten bananas. A few years ago she ate one and her throat puffed up. Then a few days later she ate one and the same thing but a little worse. So she realized that she was all the sudden allergic. Well she was trying to not eat them and one day at work she had a juice that had banana in it,, she went into shock, ambulance had to be called! Amazing! Then a few months later she and I went on a road trip. I took some bananas. They sat in the car for the day and that night when we were driving home she had a severe reaction from the smell I guess and I had to take her to the ER!!!!!!!!! I never knew one could all the sudden be deathly allergic to a piece of fruit!!
Or maybe it is the pesticide used on it???

are you eaten organic kiwi or just regular store bought?

My allergy testing shows I'm allergic to cucumber and kiwiw, but I can't figure out why. I'm thinking for me it's the seeds since I'm allergic to all other seeds...but strawberries have seeds and I wasn't allergic to those (at least not in the test, but i used to get an itchy mouth/throat).

Wow, I didn'tk now bananas could do that!
