How does it affect you , what's your symptoms?
I have been very ill after eating fish over the years. Not always but enough times for me not to eat it anymore. I get bit of a gippy tummy, go delirious , throw up and pass out.
Normal allergy reactions are rashes and such like. This makes me think that I'm not allergic to fish but that it has been poorly prepared.
The last time I was ill was after having a fish finger toastie at home. I was ill 14 hours after eating it. Surely I should have been ill within a couple of hours?
Not a huge fish fan but would like a bit more variety in my meal rota.
Fortunately nothing, and no allergies at all.
Sister is celiac though. Gets proper poorly even if a crumb (eg wheat) contaminates her food.
A colleagues daughter has an extreme sesame allergy. Very difficult to eat out with her at all. Only discovered from trying a little hummus. Nearly killed her.
Slightly allergic to Cherries, was never, in the last few years as I found out.
Throat becomes itchy after eating, body started to get cold sweat and head feels a bit light.
However, I just ignore the symptoms to continue eating but this only happens when the cherries are not ripe enough. I don't get that from ripe cherries well not as bad put it this way, just slight itch in the throat.
I have hay fever so I supposed that is also one type of allergy yet that never had them until the last 10 years. Not sure what triggered it.
Nuts! Peanuts are the worst. Swelling of my face, restriction in the airways and vomiting, epipen is carried for obvious reasons.
Wine. It makes me puke
Wine. It makes me puke
Whisky gives me a bad head. *not really an allergy*
Nothing else though.
I have an intolerance/mild allergy to cocoa products. I get hives on my neck and back, and feel poorly for half a day, but no anaphylactic reaction So nothing with chocolate for me.
If I drink a glass of orange juice then soon after I get flu-like symptoms. This was a bit of a problem before I found out because when I had colds or flu I used to dose myself up with orange juice. Then wonder why it was going on so long.
Not an allergy or intolerance but I feel a lot less bloated when I don't eat bread or pasta for a few days.
Exactly the same as you with fish. And the same as you, I'm not sure what exactly causes it. I've decided life is too short to play dinner roulette so I just avoid all sea food.
Except prawn crackers. They seem to be ok.
Timid. Do you have the same symptoms?
Gluten intolerant and a lot of FODMAPs as well. So no bread, pea's, mange tout, beans, garlic, onion family, kidney beans, fructose, apples. Can be very boring at times as onion is used as a flavouring in a lot of sauces.
But bacon is ok.
Real ale enables me the ability to produce a Mr Whippy like defecation.
No allergies here!
Got a mate coming to stay this week. Vegetarian, allergic to vinegar and wine, peppers and celery!
What the **** do I cook?
I'm an unfussy omnivore!
Do you have the same symptoms?
I've never actually passed out or become delirious but I get massively unpleasant stomach issues to the point of wishing I would.
Last time was a pasta dish i had no idea had a an anchovie in it. It was only a small amount but I was violently sick and ruined for about 24 hrs.
I'm happy to just avoid all seafood rather than experiment. Meat and vegetables are varied and plentiful.
Interestingly I can take cod liver oil supplements with no problem. Except they are rancid.
I’ve never actually passed out or become delirious but I get massively unpleasant stomach issues to the point of wishing I would.
My son gets this - he allergic to the lactose in dairy and soy, which makes life quite difficult but luckily there's a fair it bit out there these days. He has a daily dose of children's Benedryl as a preventative and Buscopan tablets to ease things if the stomach pains start.
Cook your mate then,nobody to complain,winwin
Shellfish.
Last time I ate a prawn sandwich my tongue went all tingly, throat closed up a bit and my asthma symptoms acted up.
Allergy = eating it could kill you
Intolerance = uncomfortable symptoms that won’t kill you
I’m intolerant of salad/bell peppers eat/even smell them and I’ll **** myself inside out
Shellfish, but only as of the last 6 or 7 years. Ate lots of the stuff up until that point then 1 prawn blew my face up like an airbag, closed my throat and put me in hospital for the night.
Coykd definitely be much worse, its easily avoided unlike the poor sod I work with who's allergic to peanuts.
Grain, bread/cake gives me terrible acid indigestion but I still keep subjecting myself to the punishment
Dairy, IBS symptoms.
Milk, I'm fine with cheese and yogurt but plain milk gives me a really bad stomach.
FODMAP stuff for me, but still discovering what I can/can't get away with. Aliums are the worst though, so no onion/garlic etc. That's a bit sh#t because onions and garlic are in everything!
I get stomach cramps, discomfort, nausea, sometimes diarrhea or sometimes constipation, lethargy, low mood.
It annoys the cr4p out of me. I had an apple a while ago, that randomly laid me out for a day. Water melon did it recently as well, it's made of water for Christ's sake!!
Mine is ridiculous. Doughnut peaches make my lips swell up enormously for an hour or so. Nothing else has any effect - including all other kinds of peaches - that I know of, and the one thing that does is totally harmless but just plain odd.
Not actually an allergy, it's an autoimmune condition but everyone understands it as an allergy... Coeliac disease, wheat makes my small intestine go wrong. Short term, it makes me throw up everywhere and basically feel horrendously hungover, long term I think my arse falls off or something. It's rubbish tbf but it's way better now than it was 10 years ago.

Eh, no.
Some breads make me bloat / gassy / worse. I've tried to identify which breads seem to be worse for me, whether its seeds / nuts / gluten that does it. GP did some bloods and told me I had coeliac markers and referred me for a colonoscopy but I never got the appt or chased it up. I just try to avoid breads generally now but I do like a bit of hot buttered toast and find that a dark sourdough seems to cause me the least amount of issues. I think we all get a bit fussy food wise as life progresses.
I’ve developed a wheat allergy since my late teens. Eating and drinking wheat causes hives all over and my face, lips and eyelids to swell. I have an epipen but I’ve never had any breathing issues. I can eat a small amount however and be fine but there as a certain amount that will tip me over so I avoid it. I now have to drink gluten free beer as normal beer will start me off.
If I go for a run it happens (possibly exercised induced anaphylaxis) as well so I have to take an anti histamine. It appears I’m allergic to running as it has never happened whilst I’m out on a bike.
Quorn - massive spews.
A few weeks after the first time my wife fed me some more saying it was Tofu 'as an experiment'.
After I'd spewed for a few hours she accepted it was Quorn that was the problem.
No allergies, but I seem to be super sensitive to the taste of Aspartame.
It tastes really bitter to me and I can detect the tiniest traces of it in anything it's in....which is pretty much everything these days it seems.
Except full fat Coke.
