Are you allergic to fruit?!
Question: Are you allergic to fruit!?
I am allergic to almost all fruits!.
My throat feels all scratchy, my ears itch, my neck itches, and my gums/lips/tongue/cheeks burn and hurt!.
If I cook the fruit before I eat it, my mouth doesn't hurt any more
I am NOT allergic, however, to melons or berries (thankfully)
I am allergic to carrots but not tomatoes (I know carrots are a veggie and that tomatoes are a fruit)
I have looked it up and it seems to be related to allergies to trees and stuff!.
I was wondering if anyone else had the same thing!.
Also, any sites that there would also be useful!.
And how to get around fresh fruit, and still being able to eat it!.
Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds as if you may have oral allergy syndrome, although you'd need a doctor to confirm this!. You can read more about it at http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Oral_allerg!.!.!.
One possibility for you may be low-dose immunotherapy!. In this treatment, you'd receive either injections or drops containing low doses of the things you're allergic to!. The treatments would become less frequent over time, and there's the hope that you might be able to tolerate raw fruits again! Many doctors do not offer this therapy, though!. You'd have to do some research to find someone in your area!.
Another controversial but effective treatment is known as provocation/neutralization (P/N)!. You'd receive allergen injections to provoke an allergic reaction in you, then another injection (or series of them) to neutralize the reaction!. This is time-consuming, but again, the frequency of the treatments would decrease over time, and the goal would be to enable you to eat--without reaction--what you're unable to eat now!. You can find a doctor who offers this therapy at the American Academy of Environmental Medicine website: http://www!.aaemonline!.org/

Sarah M is right!. It definitely sounds like oral allergy syndrome!. I used to be allergic to nearly all raw fruits and vegetables!. I went to an allergist and had desensitization shots for my pollen allergies!. After being on the shots for five years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away! Now I can even eat salad and watermelon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Apples!. My throat gets all itchy, then it closes up!.
My allergist told me I was allergic to carrots, but they grow from the ground, not from a tree!
What my mom sometimes does is she cooks the fruit, and then makes a sugary sauce, then cans it!. It's really good!. I can't eat peaches, but I love canned peaches!. Maybe try canned fruit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm allergic to al kinds of fruits, every year a few more!.
My ears, throat, lips and nose starting to itch and it's so annoying because I love fruit!
And the same thing as you, when I cook it, or put it in the microwave I'm not allergic anymore!.
