Fruit allergy??!


Question:

Fruit allergy??

i notice that whenever i eat (most) fresh fruits i get an itchy and uncomfortable feeling in my throat when i swallow. i also get tightness, itching, and ulcers on my lips. (all symptoms pass within a half-hour or less). these symptoms appear whenever i eat fresh apples, watermelon, peaches, strawberries, and some others. this makes it very hard to enjoy eating fresh fruit. is this an allergy, and how serious? is there any treatments that help this? thanks!


Answers:

I have the same allergy, but to fruits with pits in them. It's a minor allergy, and there isn't much to do about it. But what i find helps, is that after i eat whatever fruits, i just eat some bread, or something after it, because it calms down the itchy feeling in my throat. Also, I'm sure you could take like benadryl ( if it doesn't make you as sleepy as it does to me) or another anti histamine, to help.
