Question: Allergic to apples, plums, and pears so-far!.!. should I be watching out for any other fruits!?
The past couple of years I have noticed that I have a slight allergic reaction (swelling lips and scratchy throat) to pears, plums, and apples!. The other day I had an apple and I had more of a severe raction (swelling lips, scratchy throat, severe chest pain, loss of breath, and loss of voice)!. I know it's possible to become more allergic to things as you become older but do pears, plums, and apples have a connection (maybe certain pesticides)!? If so are there any other fruits i should be careful of!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

This sounds like oral allergy syndrome!. Do these foods only bother you when they are raw!? You are probably allergic to some pollens too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have the same problem!. As you get older you can develop allergies that you may not of had before!. I believe that there is sometime a cross-pollination issue!. Are you knowingly allergic to pollen or ragweed!? If so you may just be allergic to the skin of these fruits!. Please do not test it without consulting a doctor or allergy test!. Watch out for peaches and cherries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
whoever said oral allergy syndrome sounds right on the money!.!.!. if you suffer from environmental allergies such as pollen then eating fresh fruits or vegetables will sometimes do that to you!.!. i don't think that there's much you can do but avoid eating fresh fruits!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I say, see an alergist and defer to his or her advice!. If your alergies are severe, this is your only option if you want to make sure that your reactions stay at a minimum!.!.!.you certainly don't want them to get worst!Www@Answer-Health@Com
