Do you have any food allergies or intolerances?

**Gazelle** · 03-01-2009, 10:02 AM

Are you allergic to or intolerant of any foods?

What food(s) and how severe is your reaction?

How long has it been a problem for you?

Personally, it took me until my 30s to discover that I was "allergic" to raw onions. I never was when I was younger. Then it became raw garlic as well. Now it's both onions and garlic, cooked or raw. This kind of sucks because onions and garlic are SO GOOD and in EVERYTHING.

I'm not truly allergic because I don't have a life-threatening reaction, but they give me migraines, make me super foggy-headed and sleepy, and cause serious stomach pain. This reaction lasts for at least 24 hours. I know of other people who have this problem. It's an intolerance of the entire allium family (onions, garlic, leeks, chives, scallions, etc.)

Other things I'm sensitive to: caffeine (I get physically addicted very quickly) and sugar (it's just bad!). I don't actually eat sugar or grains anymore.

**Hasway** · 03-01-2009, 10:17 AM

Seafood. I refuse to eat it,and have done so since I was two. Also, most fruits. I have no allergies.

**Prunesquallor** · 03-01-2009, 10:20 AM

Oh god.
beans, legumes, seeds, nuts, citrus, vinegar/miso/alcohol/anything fermented, soy, bananas, apples, onions, garlic, tomatoes, eggs, nearly all forms of dairy, caffeine (except minimal doses), peppers, olives, yeast (eg fresh bread), preserved meat, well-cooked meat, red meat, avocadoes, plums, dried fruits, chocolate, peas, msg, refined sugar, mushrooms, coconut, canned meats...
(I think I maybe forgot a few things, but that's an idea).

For me it's migraines too. Some are worse than others - cheese and soy and the fermented stuff, for example - others maybe won't give me a full migraine, but will give me a headache.
I'm impossible to feed....

**WyohKnott** · 03-01-2009, 10:30 AM

Only broccoli for me - it gives me severe stomach pains that last for about 12 hours. Also, coffee usually gives me an extremely bad headache. I have no idea why; other caffeinated drinks don't bother me at all.

Wow... no offense, but what *do* you eat?

**Gazelle** · 03-01-2009, 10:32 AM

Prunesquallor, I'm curious what you eat as well, and how you were able to determine you shouldn't eat all those things? I can imagine it could be an exhausting process to identify them all ...

Stir-fried cabbage on noodles. Baked sweet potatoes and cauliflower. Broccoli, carrots, and rice. And quinoa. Flaxseed muffins right now (I'm testing seeds). Oatmeal w. blueberries. Occasionally pumpkin muffins, although I have to use special flours since I need keep my gluten intake low. That's basically it...
I'm trying to find new things, but it's frikkin hard.

It took quite a while. I had to go on a crazy elimination diet and reintroduce them one by one. It's been nearly a year and I still need to test seeds and some nuts (maybe they're not all bad...). And a few fruits. I might be able to have pears; I don't know yet. But I've almost gone through all the ones I found listed on migraine sites and articles and things.

altoid · 03-01-2009, 10:46 AM

Only kiwi fruit. It makes my lips and mouth swell. It's supposedly common in people that get hay fever. I'm not aware of any other allergies, but I'm always a little leery of trying new fruits now.

**jikin** · 03-01-2009, 10:47 AM


	Are you allergic to or intolerant of any foods?

eggs- and anything that involves them in any way (even random enzymes they like to put into cheese products)


	how severe is your reaction?

I'd consider it more annoying than severe. It usually starts with my mouth getting itchy and spreads to my inner ears. Then my sinuses start producing copious amounts of mucus (real fun there). If I'm real lucky I'll get a few small hives and my face will turn red.


	How long has it been a problem for you?

I realized it when I was about 13. It's probably been there a lot longer. Since the reaction isn't major I didn't stay away from it as I should and it has been gradually getting worse. I'm a bit more vigilant than I used to be. Thankfully it's not worse. Egg allergies run in the family and tend toward more severe reactions.

**OmegaPsi** · 03-01-2009, 10:47 AM

Something with greasy foods absolutely destroys me. What sucks is that everywhere I go is grease here, grease there. Luckily for me the grill is a godsend. Grilled foods ftw.

**BostonIan** · 03-01-2009, 11:45 AM

No allergies, but I can't digest cooked meat and eating bivalves feels a little like drinking sewer water. I lost the ability to digest cooked meat after experimenting with fasting a few years ago.

**azelismia** · 03-01-2009, 12:29 PM

Shellfish allergy [Severe] because of that I don't eat any kind of seafood in case it has come into contact with shellfish.

Olives but not olive oil. [moderately severe]
mild soy allergy.
Sage [moderately severe]
oregano [mild]
I won't eat red meat or pork.
or portabella mushrooms
melon allergy [mild]

high fibre foods give me stomach problems but I eat them anyway.

**ElstonGunn** · 03-01-2009, 12:38 PM

There are things that strike me as horribly disgusting on a mental level (like seafood and tofu), but I can't think of anything that I can't eat for purely physical reasons. I seem to have an iron stomach. I've never been able to get Indian or Mexican food as spicy as I'd really like to have it. I often drink a whole pot of coffee in a day. I can drink a liter of liquor in one night (not that that's enjoyable for anyone involved). I got into a "dairy challenge" with a friend of mine once, in which we raced to see who could finish a half-gallon jug of milk first (I think it took us less than 15 minutes).

**Subverted** · 03-01-2009, 02:29 PM

Gluten. Even the smallest most insignificant bit of gluten will seriously mess me up.

Whenever I get contaminated food I am down with flu-like symptoms for at least 2 days. Generally it involves me puking out my insides and then passing out for 18-24 hours.

As for how long... I guess pretty much as long as I have been around. When I was little I started to "self regulate" and as such I have never been big on sandwiches. Only really started being a big issue when I got to ~15 and I began to eat more foods with gluten and was horribly messed up for the 2.5 years it took to get diagnosed with Celiac and find a bit of resolution in a gluten free diet.

**idem** · 03-01-2009, 04:03 PM

Cashews.

Whenever I eat anything with them in it, I get awful stomach pains, my lips and tongue swell, I throw up, and I get hives.

I discovered my allergy around age four.

**Ace1337** · 03-01-2009, 04:43 PM

I'm allergic to all food, I have Crohn's. My immune system sometimes attacks the food I take for some retarded reason nobody has figured out yet. Thank God for probiotics though.

That's just an expression, ofcourse I don't believe in God. What kind of a God would give me Crohn's?

I avoid all food that has much fat in it because greasy food is the worst for me, always gives me diarrhea. I also avoid sweets because large amounts of sugar give me diarrhea. Chocolate is fine for some reason although it has a lot of fat and sugar in it. I'm very tall and skinny as a pole, I have gained a few kilos by exercising and I'm going to try to gain more. On the bright side, I can't become fat no matter what I eat.

When I have a flare up rice saves me. It's the only thing that doesn't give me diarrhea when I'm in a flare up. I have eaten more rice than a whole Chinese village.

**dalidaisy** · 03-01-2009, 04:54 PM

In my late teens, I went through allergy testing & it came back with many many allergic reactions. The most notable I've seen are below. I went through 2 years of allergy shots, which were highly unpleasant & seemed not to make any difference.

I have to say that my allergy symptoms lessened considerably when I became a vegetarian about 7 years ago. I do still have issues, though...

Soy - Mild to moderate stomach pains & hives, depending on how much I eat. I am vegetarian, so I do still eat some soy products. I just deal with the consequences.

Wheat - Thought it was mild, but recently realized it has been building up in me and causing all sorts of problems, such as asthma, stiff & achy joints, constipation, loss of hair, weight gain, low iron, irregular menstrual cycle & irritability. This is a nasty one that sneaks up on you, it seems.

Shellfish - Have never eaten it, even before I found out I was allergic. Seafood looks & smells disgusting to me. I wouldn't eat it anyway.

Dairy - I have abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn & a general overall sick feeling when I consume dairy products in large amounts. I do eat small amounts of cheese, as I have developed a taste for it that is hard to give up. I'm working on it.

Poultry (including eggs) - Stomach cramping, nausea and even vomiting when I eat this. It is probably also related to my non-food allergies & asthma, as well as the hives I get on my chest often. It is difficult to stay away from products produced with eggs (as well as dairy & wheat).

I also have many other non-food allergies. I wonder if those with food allergies are prone to other allergies. I'm allergic to most everything green, most animals, dust, mold, etc...

dalidaisy added to this post, 3 minutes and 59 seconds later...

Oh, is there such a thing as a sugar allergy? I'm pretty intolerant to anything more than a tiny amount. It has gotten worse the older I get & I avoid it as best I can now...

**Brittle** · 03-01-2009, 05:02 PM

I find too much gluten bloats me and gives me stomach cramps. Too much animal protein also gives me cramps and I seem to cough up a lot of phlegm (nice!). Fortunately it's fairly easy to work around these foods or to limit how much of them I eat. I tend to stick to a lot of fresh fruit and veg, nuts and legumes.

**rara avis** · 03-01-2009, 05:14 PM

I'm allergic to bananas. If I eat anything with banana, cooked or raw, I have intense food poisoning-like symptoms within a few hours. That didn't set in until I was a teenager - happily, we knew what was happening pretty quickly, since my mom has the same thing. (She had to figure it out the hard way.)

And I've recently discovered a sensitivity to soy - I was eating tons of soy products there for a while, and slowly figured out it seemed to be messing with my menstrual cycle in a bad way. Before I started eating so much, I'd never noticed a problem. Now I can't eat much at all without knowing I'm going to be getting really obnoxious cramps etc. that month.

I've wondered what effects a cassein & gluten free diet would have on me. But the results would have to be pretty damn spectacular to take on that lifestyle...

Why do you say that? A gluten free diet(I tend to stay away from most dairy products anyway) is pretty easy once you get used to it...

Though, I do occasionally miss being able to go out to eat on a whim, only a few places I can go now.

I've gone gluten/casein free for pretty long periods of time, I always notice quite a difference, but I'm not sure how much is psychological.

**Charly** · 03-02-2009, 05:26 PM

Dairy, wheat and Soy. The Soy is pretty bad, so I avoid it as much as possible. It's the worst when I go out with friends and they want to eat Thai food because it seems to have soy in everything and I'm too polite to just sit there and eat nothing.

I discovered this when I got crazy sick a few years ago and lost a lot of weight and started cutting foods out of my diet in the hope that it would help. when I can stick to the diet 100% (which is basically living on fruit/vegetables white meat, fish, rice etc, it clears up my skin and I feel a lot better.

**countrygirl** · 03-04-2009, 09:00 PM

I am lactose intolerant and my reaction is to breakout in eczema on my legs and when it is severe, spots that look like pimples on my face. As well, I will have very bad gas and sometimes, within a 12 hour period, I will feel sick. I also have to watch out for hidden milk products on labels. I probably had this during my 20s but it took my sister (who has it as well as my mom) in my 30s to enlighten me.

I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome where my trigger foods are nuts and animal fats that cause a flu like reaction. Started probably in my 30s.

I have also noticed that soy (drank it due to lactose intolerance) gave me really bad PMS so I avoid soy drinks and products.

Ditto, but no hayfever here.

**acyckowski** · 03-05-2009, 11:36 PM

Either a milkfat allergy or lactose intolerance, probably the allergy. I was fine until my early twenties, ever since then ice cream and non-skim milk will tear my stuff up within about 15-20 minutes. I'm good with cheese and yogurt.

**SiliusNet** · 03-07-2009, 11:15 AM

I don't have any food allergies of which I'm aware. I have a pretty strong stomach, and it takes a lot to get it screwed up.

However, I do get mouth ulcers a lot, and I have yet to figure out what causes them. I'd hedge my bets on something acidic.
