Adult onset multiple allergies?

[mumakez666]

Hiya all,

I was wondering if any-one else has been diagnosed with multiple allergies as an adult?

I'm 27 and started having problems with allergies to different foods, first raisins, then apples, then peaches, there were also a few times i had a reaction but didnt know what caused it. My doc referred me to immunology for allergy testing.

I had the skin ***** test done with some different allergens, I had a positive for:

Apples
peaches
strawberries
peanuts
hazelnuts
walnuts
sunflower seeds,

I also had a reaction to oranges but the weal wasn't big enough to be a positive.

I then give blood for testing which i think is to test for more allergies, and i'm waiting to hear about the results.

So now i have to carry an epi-pen.

This happen to any-one else? also what are you allergies and are they connected by certain food groups?

no-one?

Yes, me. No particular food groups - allergies all over the place. A kinesiologist/physician got rid of all of them except corn.

For years the dr thought I was lactose intollerant. Then a skin test revealed that I am allergic to eggs, honey dew mellon and eggplant.

well just for a follow up, i got my blood results back and my allergies where positive for:

Apples
peaches
strawberries
peanuts
hazelnuts
walnuts
sunflower seeds
raisins

and grapes, oranges, pecan nuts & cherries

I'm sure it'll take me a while to get used to it!
