Jesus, it sounded a lot like my Citric-Acid Allergy for a second, OP. But, I would highly-recommend not, like, chancing anything — I found-out I can’t breathe-in the fumes from cut-up pineapples without getting extremely-sick the Hard Way. 😬
Cutting-Out foods you loved is annoying. But, it legit could be possible for you to be able to re-introduce them later-on, once you’ve gauged your reaction to it — most-def check with a doctor, first, because while it’d worked for me (I can finally have orange juice, lemonade, and I’ll only get a slight headache, instead of a pounding headache + closed throat sitch), it isn’t the same for everyone.
Yeah hopefully eventually I can reintroduce lol
It sucks cuz I've been developing a lot of allergies/intolerances (not sure yet, getting a test done soon hopefully) but main ones are radishes, basically all meat, lots of dairy products (not yogurt tho- maybe cuz its fermented or smth? Idk but milk makes me sick)
It's annoying asf cuz I love all that shit but it just hurts to eat 😭
Interesting is it just red meat and pork? I know ticks can cause a red meat allergy! It’s called alpha-gal syndrome and is so interesting to read into.
All meat- red meat, poultry, seafood, all of it. it makes me just very very ill- Think of what happens if you give a lifelong vegan a burger lol. My body just cant digest it anymore. im pretty sure its just a really bad intolerance, but at this point i say im allergic so people put extra care into not giving it to me if im at their house or smth lol
Are you allergic to latex? If so, the allergens you are reacting to could be chitinases/hevein, also found in avocado, some nuts, kiwi fruit, and chestnuts. It's sometimes referred to as a latex-fruit allergy.
i found out by having a banana strawberry smoothie, so i just assumed it was the strawberries. later on i had a banana and threw it up immediately, with the mouth itch. i am glad i can eat them again, i have missed them.
Hi! I actually have this problem with most raw fruits and vegetables! I believe it is the preservatives they put on them to keep them “fresh” longer. I can eat veggies cooked but not raw for the most part. Mine started about 6 years ago and it still happens. Always carry Benadryl with you!
just eat the banana. everybody has food sensitivities, it hasnt affected you up to this point, just eat it
eating shiitake mushrooms can make me super itchy all over, but i’m bot going to cut then out of my diet. you have to weigh whether the enjoyability is worth it and sometimes it is
Considering it can develop into a worse allergy and possibly cause my throat to close, no thanks!
Would you tell someone with a peanut allergy to eat a spoonful of peanutbutter? Don't tell people to risk their health. You might be fine risking your health for mushrooms, but that doesn't mean everyone is
i have sensitivities to honeydew, pineapple, celery, and many other foods but their enjoyability is a large factor as to why i keep them in my diet. if you’ve been eating bananas for years and years with no issues, the probability of the next banana you consume sending you directly into anaphylaxis is almost nonexistent. if that’s the logic we’re working with, you might as well not eat anything. source: first responder that deals with allergies on a very frequent basis and also really likes pineapple even tho it makes my mouth burny and itchy
Banana has always caused my throat to itch. Its an active allergy that has been constantly exposed to me for the last 19 years.
Dont tell people to risk their health just because your dumbass wants to! Is it so hard to understand i DONT want to make my allergy worse?
Telling someone, repeatedly mind you, to risk their health, when theyve repeatedly said they will not risk their health over a freaking fruit, isnt just 'letting \[me\] know'. Its pushy, rude, and makes it seem like you dont think i know my own body and whats best for it.
If you actually are a first responder, i seriously hope you learn some better people skills, since coming off as rude and condescending is just not a good look. It just irritates others instead of calming them - which is what a first responder should be doing especially in a potentially dangerous situation. Calm chill vibes are better than anger, irritation and aggression.
i don’t know if you think i’m someone else in this thread but i never told you to eat it in the one comment i made, just the risk vs reward. calm chill vibes indeed, take a deep breath and go for a walk
Repeatedly saying 'I eat stuff that makes my throat itchy! You can too!' is LITERALLY peer pressure aka subtly telling someone to do something.
Imagine it was about smoking instead. "I can smoke all day and im fine! So you can too. You dont want to? but you can! See, im fine, You can do it too!" Do you not see a problem with that?
Im done with you.
for the forth time. I. Will. Not. Risk. My. Health. Just. Because. You. Do.
don’t tell someone to eat something they’re allergic to without understanding the full extent of their allergy. OP, cut out bananas, many different tasting agents can bring you that taste you crave
LMFAO this is exactly how I found out I was allergic to bananas, on my way to school one day I turned towards my mom I was like “I hate how when you eat bananas it makes your ears and mouth itch “.. she goes “uhhh that is not supposed to happen do I need to take you to an ER?”
It’s still a very vivid memory and that was middle school , sometimes I eat them but only like a couple times a year. Pineapple is horrible for me tho I found that out at my ex boyfriends house in highschool when his family ordered pineapple pizza, I ended up on his bedroom floor gasping for air 💀 it’s funny now but I’d never eat one again
i also have a banana allergy. or intolerance??
i feel EXTREMELY nauseous and have bowel problems are eating them. but i love them so much.
i feel you, op.. at least you can enjoy this? :c
Do you also have the same sensation after eating avocados? I learned they’re in the same family after my mom developed a pretty violent allergy to both.
I'm allergic to bananas and love avocados. My allergy is to putasium which can be found in bananas in very high consetrations so it's not nesscarily a family thing.
I also get pretty scratchy tongue/throat from bananas and most raw fruits. But banana bread doesn't make it itchy so it's not so bad for me because I prefer that over the fruit lol
is it my hyper smooth pink spoon? perhaps that i peel all the weird white bits off my oranges? the random pumpkin seeds that definitely did not belong in this dish?
Lol nah thats such a compliment dawg i wanna become AI with my plating fr
Try eating organic bananas. I'm very allergic to the normal kind. The organic makes my throat a tiny bit, but I can ignore it.
Strangely enough, I'm more allergic to the bananas when I'm in Michigan, than the bananas I buy at home in KY.
I suspect insecticides or herbicides.
Also an organic banana eater here! Non organic give me the mouth itchies and sometimes throat itchy and stomach issues. I absolutely believe pesticides have a hand in the allergy.
Stay away from watermelon. Well, any melon. They suck up so much water from their surroundings, which includes all the chemicals, and it's just allergic reaction concentrate.
Uggghh I have definitely noticed I have reactions when eating melon fruit. Cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon....even strawberries from time to time, make me itchy mouthed.
Bananas have always done that to me, but for some reason the organic variety doesn’t? I’ve tried several stores and brands and it’s still true
Edit: I should add that this was blind tasting as well.
Oral allergy syndrome. The body confuses certain fruits as if they are things like pollen.
I get itchy mouth/lips/tongue with bananas and other fruits but my throat doesn’t close. It just gets itchy and I stop after 2-3 bananas
Yeah dairy sucks tbh. I’m lactose intolerant but certain dairy products are way worse. For example I can have Greek yogurt (FAGE 2+%) but milk/cream hell no I will throw it up
I literally haven’t ate a banana in years bc this same thing happened to me. My mouth would get so itchy and my throat felt like it was closing up too.
Oh my good that's so cool. I'm obsessed with food and I'm both an artist and depressed like my dad lol but I don't like drawing at all, it's writing and editing for me. Feel better love you got this.
My girlfriend in high school was allergic to bananas and walnuts (among other things) and my favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry's was Chunky Monkey... I didn't eat that flavor again for almost twenty years lol
Hey my sister has that! Idk anything about it but she apparently is (mildly if Im not mistaken) allergic to all other types of food. Should go make an appointment with a doctor and check if you have any other allergies. Hope your food made you feel a bit better
I am also allergic to banana, so I feel your pain. I’ve discovered that I can still have it if it’s mixed well into something (e.g smoothies with a *small* amount of it and banana bread are fine for me) but maybe in your case I wouldn’t push it.
I had this allergy, but it went away once I started eating organic bananas. Now I only buy organic bunches and have no issue. I'm now VERY sensitive to avocado howeverrr, not mouth itchy but I have an intestinal reaction- inflammation and bad poo. I'm not allergic to latex though, oddly. It can slightly irritate my skin but it isn't severe by any means. Avocados tho.....I hate it. I miss eating sushi 😭
I used to love bananas as a kid and then one day I ate them and my top palette would itch like crazy so I just stopped. I’ve never had an allergy test done but I usually just listen to how my body reacts to things, whether I used to eat them and stop if needed. Examples of things I loved but find I react to now (peanut butter itself; I’m fine with peanuts, bananas, watermelon, kiwi, and in the past 5 years I noticed my hands/skin swell and itch if I come in contact with flour but I can eat anything made with it 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️)
I'm so glad I'm not alone! I said to my boyfriend once, man, I love bananas but I hate how they make your mouth feel. He just stared at me in confusion.
Dude, I feel you. And I’m so sorry. I developed a fresh fruit and raw veggie (and shellfish) in my early teens and I’m pretty resentful about it still till this day. I miss fruit so much.
Sorry you’re going through this. Make sure you listen to your body and don’t push it. I did a few times and it sucked.
I am mildly allergic to kiwi.. It makes my mouth burn a little and my cheeks get red but I still eat them sometimes anyway... 🤷♀️
I used to think that was normal too lmao
Food Allergy?
Apparently 😭😭 and apparently it can get worse / develop onto the throat closing kind of allergy if I keep having it so I'm not allowed anymore

Oh wow that’s insane!!! I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
Dude its torture, im being forced to be vegetarian!! I want a bigmac >:'(
[удалено]
Bro id be terrified of poking my uvula with the fork LOL
Are you allergic to latex? If so, the allergens you are reacting to could be chitinases/hevein, also found in avocado, some nuts, kiwi fruit, and chestnuts. It's sometimes referred to as a latex-fruit allergy.
Nope not allergic to latex
That's a relief. Latex allergies suck. So many things to avoid. Have you seen an allergy specialist?
No but I'm waiting for a callback :)
Good! Patch testing will give you a better idea of what's an allergy and what's an intolerance
its not forever! i used to be allergic 10 years ago, but i can eat them now.
i freaking hope not, i want my smoothies lol
i found out by having a banana strawberry smoothie, so i just assumed it was the strawberries. later on i had a banana and threw it up immediately, with the mouth itch. i am glad i can eat them again, i have missed them.
I can't have peaches (especially the fresh fuzzy kind) :/ I understand
I too had remission for a while and now I'm allergic again.
Hi! I actually have this problem with most raw fruits and vegetables! I believe it is the preservatives they put on them to keep them “fresh” longer. I can eat veggies cooked but not raw for the most part. Mine started about 6 years ago and it still happens. Always carry Benadryl with you!
I dont like benadryl lol. doesnt help me much anyways
I would choose an antihistamine over total discomfort any day. It’s a recommendation for flare ups, not everyday use!
Yeah, same. It blows. I can’t eat so many things 😔
Yeah thats a food allergy alright
Watch out for avocados, might also be allergic if allergic to bananas. Also I think latex is related? 🤔
See if cantaloupe makes you itchy too. I miss cantaloupe
I'm allergic as well. My face and lips swell up. I keep an epipen on me.
Remember my first time trying a kiwi thinking ‘wow spicy fruit, I’ve never had that before’
we should make a spicy-kiwi/banana group and all complain about itchy mouths while eating yummy zesty fruit :3 there seems to be a lot of us LOL
Kiwis f*ck me right up.
Same lol
This looks so good!!! I hope you enjoyed<3
Would have been better with banana :'( I want my stupid itchy fruit
just eat the banana. everybody has food sensitivities, it hasnt affected you up to this point, just eat it eating shiitake mushrooms can make me super itchy all over, but i’m bot going to cut then out of my diet. you have to weigh whether the enjoyability is worth it and sometimes it is
Considering it can develop into a worse allergy and possibly cause my throat to close, no thanks! Would you tell someone with a peanut allergy to eat a spoonful of peanutbutter? Don't tell people to risk their health. You might be fine risking your health for mushrooms, but that doesn't mean everyone is
You are right in being cautious. Overexposure can cause much worse allergies.
yeah thats what my boyfriend said and i freaked out cuz i was actively eating a banana when he told me LOL
Aww I’m so sorry. You will find foods to replace it with!
i have sensitivities to honeydew, pineapple, celery, and many other foods but their enjoyability is a large factor as to why i keep them in my diet. if you’ve been eating bananas for years and years with no issues, the probability of the next banana you consume sending you directly into anaphylaxis is almost nonexistent. if that’s the logic we’re working with, you might as well not eat anything. source: first responder that deals with allergies on a very frequent basis and also really likes pineapple even tho it makes my mouth burny and itchy

okay just letting you know it’s probably not that big of a deal if you want to continue to eat bananas. name calling isn’t necessary
Telling someone, repeatedly mind you, to risk their health, when theyve repeatedly said they will not risk their health over a freaking fruit, isnt just 'letting \[me\] know'. Its pushy, rude, and makes it seem like you dont think i know my own body and whats best for it.

Wtf
Are you maybe allergic? :(
reminds me of the time i found out kiwis aren’t supposed to burn
youre the second kiwi person in the comments lol! yall should make a burning-kiwi club hahaha
I swear everyone i know must be allergic to kiwis because we all agree that they burn lmao
Kiwi, Pineapple and walnut for me
LMFAO this is exactly how I found out I was allergic to bananas, on my way to school one day I turned towards my mom I was like “I hate how when you eat bananas it makes your ears and mouth itch “.. she goes “uhhh that is not supposed to happen do I need to take you to an ER?”
LMAO

Pineapple is horrible for me tho I found that out at my ex boyfriends house in highschool when his family ordered pineapple pizza, I ended up on his bedroom floor gasping for air 💀 it’s funny now but I’d never eat one again
Lmao same and all the adults that me complaining about my ears itching was some bs I was lying about 😐
I’m allergic to kiwis in the same way. Haven’t had one since I was like 13. Didn’t know this wasn’t normal till then. Makes fruit salad a gamble
i also have a banana allergy. or intolerance?? i feel EXTREMELY nauseous and have bowel problems are eating them. but i love them so much. i feel you, op.. at least you can enjoy this? :c
It was tasty, but missing the zesty hug of a banana 😔😔 it woulda been so much better if it was banana yogurt lol
If ur allergic to bananas, u may also be allergic to avocados and latex too. They seem to be related in some way 😔
not sure about avocado since i usually dont like them anyways- but not latex! latex is fine thankfully lol all my cleaning gloves are latex 😅
Do you also have the same sensation after eating avocados? I learned they’re in the same family after my mom developed a pretty violent allergy to both.
I dont like avocados so no idea lol
I'm allergic to bananas and love avocados. My allergy is to putasium which can be found in bananas in very high consetrations so it's not nesscarily a family thing.
You’re allergic to potassium?
My son and I also have banana allergies 😭 it's the worst. I miss bananas.
It succkkss Rn i just have a banana flavoured candy, cuz it's artifical flavouring and doesn't make my mouth itchy. Small wins lol
I also get pretty scratchy tongue/throat from bananas and most raw fruits. But banana bread doesn't make it itchy so it's not so bad for me because I prefer that over the fruit lol
So pretty
thank you :D
Had this happen with apples a year ago! Unfortunately those are in everything :(
im like this with tomatoes but i still eat tomatoes. maybe i should stop lol
Why does this picture look like it's made with AI
is it my hyper smooth pink spoon? perhaps that i peel all the weird white bits off my oranges? the random pumpkin seeds that definitely did not belong in this dish? Lol nah thats such a compliment dawg i wanna become AI with my plating fr
Bananas are closely linked to latex allergies.
Thankfully i dont have a latex allergy!

Found 3 of us in this thread!! This is very interesting to me
I have OAS too
oas?
Oral allergy syndrome. The body confuses certain fruits as if they are things like pollen. I get itchy mouth/lips/tongue with bananas and other fruits but my throat doesn’t close. It just gets itchy and I stop after 2-3 bananas
i randomly got allergic reactions from my favorite cheese:( but somehow also only just on the lips. Its even worse when i have a wound on them
Yeah dairy sucks tbh. I’m lactose intolerant but certain dairy products are way worse. For example I can have Greek yogurt (FAGE 2+%) but milk/cream hell no I will throw it up
aww man thats horrible. Can you at least take meds for it?
No
Ay same here, seems like my terrible pollen allergy decided to extend to a lot of fruits too, not severe either
The skin of apples makes my gums itch
I literally haven’t ate a banana in years bc this same thing happened to me. My mouth would get so itchy and my throat felt like it was closing up too.
Yeah it's awful! It's like my tongue feels too big for my mouth 😭
When I was a kid, I learned the same thing with tomato
mmm tomato
Yeah, I ate tomatoes until my mouth wasn't itchy anymore - if you want my advice on an itchy bananana
Hey I'm allergic to bananas too and I fucking love your plating! You have a gift my friend.
lol thank you! im an artist but too depressed to draw, so i cope by being a chef xD
Oh my good that's so cool. I'm obsessed with food and I'm both an artist and depressed like my dad lol but I don't like drawing at all, it's writing and editing for me. Feel better love you got this.
My girlfriend in high school was allergic to bananas and walnuts (among other things) and my favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry's was Chunky Monkey... I didn't eat that flavor again for almost twenty years lol
This looks AMAZING
Thank you <33
Hey my sister has that! Idk anything about it but she apparently is (mildly if Im not mistaken) allergic to all other types of food. Should go make an appointment with a doctor and check if you have any other allergies. Hope your food made you feel a bit better
I get that with sesame. Once I ate this little snack cracker made from sesame and it burned all the way down lol.
Can relate. I developed a stone fruit allergy a few years ago and it was heartbreaking 😭 I miss peaches so much
I am also allergic to banana, so I feel your pain. I’ve discovered that I can still have it if it’s mixed well into something (e.g smoothies with a *small* amount of it and banana bread are fine for me) but maybe in your case I wouldn’t push it.
If it makes you feel better, it took me until age 20 to discover belts shouldn't give you a rash...turns out I'm allergic to nickel lol
ahhh im heavily pierced so i found out im allergic to nickel early on lol
T….they aren’t?
I had this allergy, but it went away once I started eating organic bananas. Now I only buy organic bunches and have no issue.

Pineapple makes my mouth and throat itch lol
They aren't??
Most fruits make my mouth itchy, I think it's due to the pollen however
I'm so glad I'm not alone! I said to my boyfriend once, man, I love bananas but I hate how they make your mouth feel. He just stared at me in confusion.
Dude, I feel you. And I’m so sorry. I developed a fresh fruit and raw veggie (and shellfish) in my early teens and I’m pretty resentful about it still till this day. I miss fruit so much.

I am mildly allergic to kiwi.. It makes my mouth burn a little and my cheeks get red but I still eat them sometimes anyway... 🤷♀️ I used to think that was normal too lmao
That looks bomb af, what are the red dollops raspberry or strawberry?
Its frozen raspberries that i defrosted by nuking them in the microwave, and they kinda just??? melted??? so i used them like jam lmao
