I think krantz b has a bad case of oral allergy syndrome!. He most likely has hayfever too!. Oral allergy syndrome is linked to pollen allergies!. Allergy desensitation shots for the pollen allergies will also eliminate the allergy to raw fruits and vegetables!.
I used to be allergic to nearly all raw fruits and vegetables!. After being on allergy shots for 5 years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away!. Now I can even eat salad and watermelon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am actually allergic to all fruits & veggies!. No lie!.
I was able to eat anything I wanted until I hit puberty!. Fruits & vegetables started to irritate my throat & mouth!. My parents didn't believe me so they took me to an allergy doctor who gave me an allergy skin test on my arms!. The test showed that I was right, I was allergic to fruits & veggies!.
But, I can eat processed foods!. ex: sunny delight!.
I cannot eat fresh fruit drinks though!. ex: jamba juice!.
My food allergies are not so bad though, I won't go into shock from eating a strawberry, but I will feel lightheaded & itchy everywhere, so I was not prescribed an epi-pen!. But I do carry allergy pills & nasonel whereever I go because I'm also allergic to many forms of grass & trees!.
I take supplement pills for my lack of vitamins!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is possible but VERY, VERY unlikely!. Allergies to even one fruit is very rare, so to be allergic to all fruits woulld be extreamly rare!. But, he may be allergic to certain pesticides that are used on fruits, but this would still not affect every fruit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A few bites of raw fruit or vegetable could result in itching or swelling of the lips, inner ears, tongue, throat or roof of the mouth!. Known as Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), the reaction is caused by an allergic response initially directed to the pollen that crosses over to similar proteins in the foods!.
Individuals with hay fever to certain tree (birch, alder or hazel) grass or weed (such as ragweed or mugwort) pollens may experience symptoms of an allergic reaction after eating certain raw vegetables or fresh fruits!. The 'oral' nature of the symptoms presumably is due to the fact that these proteins are digested by stomach juices and do not enter the bloodstream!. It is unusual for these symptoms to go beyond the mouth!.
Because the allergens responsible for these reactions are usually destroyed by heating or digestion, affected individuals can usually eat fruits or vegetables that have been cooked, baked, or canned!. For example, a person may experience itching of the mouth and tongue after eating a fresh apple, but may be able to eat apple sauce or an apple pie without trouble!.
"If itchy mouth is the only symptom, avoidance of raw fruits or vegetables and eating only cooked versions is sufficient!. However, if symptoms are caused by cooked fruits/vegetables or go beyond mouth and involve generalized hives, vomiting, or difficulty breathing, the patient should consult an allergist because these may signal a more severe allergy!. In such case testing and more extensive avoidance may be necessary," said Anna Nowak-Wegrzyn, M!.D!., an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City!.
The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) recommends that with all forms of food allergy, identification of the responsible food and avoidance of that food is the key to successful long-term management!. Individuals should consult a physician with specific questions!.
"These are potential associations!. Not every patient allergic to pollen develops symptoms with cross-reacting fruits or vegetables!. Patients may react to a few but not all fruits and vegetables," said Anne Munoz-Furlong, President & CEO of FAAN!. "Also, there is some confusion regarding the terminology!. Some experts propose to replace the term OAS with a new name, pollen-plant food allergy, to better describe reactions to fruits and vegetables cross-reactive with pollens!. Both may be referred to when consulting with a physician!."Www@Answer-Health@Com
