Food allergies

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering how many Aspies here have a family member with food allergies (hives, anaphylaxis, etc.). Thanks.

There are many allergies in my family and yes with our brand of asd I think they're related. But I think there are other kinds too.

I am alergic to bell peppers.

I'm pretty sure I have Oral Allergy Syndrome

It does explain why eating raw apples causes my throat and gums to itch and swell.

No allergies but I have some "strange" phobias.

Custard

Anchovies

Baked Beans

Rice Pudding

I"m allergic to sesame seeds (hives, itchy mouth/throat), walnuts, almonds, peanuts, and shellfish (all anaphylatic).

I am allergic to Lavender. Yes, this is a food allergy as it is in the Herb Mixture Herb de Provence. This is used in some italian cookin and Italian sausage. I miss Italian sausage.

I'm allergic to mushrooms and strawberries.

I have an intolerance - as opposed to an allergy - to milk. I won't have a life-threatening allergic reaction if I eat dairy products, but I will get stomach/bowel discomfort and diarrhoea.

This has slowly developed later in my life; I used to be fine with dairy when I was younger.

My cousin is allergic to peanuts.

Thanks -- Does anyone have a blood relative woith food allergies?

No blood relatives with a real food allergy. My brother is celiac, but he is adopted. I have some intolerances but no true allergies have shown up on blood tests.

I have celiac, but no one else in my family has food allergy. My mom has seasonal allergies, though.

My kiddo has food allergies.

Not sure if it's allergy relate but...

Dairy especially milk gives me a runny nose and tiredness.
Corn chips hurt my throat.
Orange juice gives me stomach ache. Not just discomfort, really bad cramps.
Wheat makes me itchy.
Beer makes me fall over.

I had an episode of idiopathic anaphylaxis a few years ago.

Walnuts give me swollen gums and an itchy throat, but when I was tested, my reaction was only "borderline".
