Fruits and Vegetables

Whenever I eat bananas, watermelon, tangerines, cantelope, pineapple, broccoli, carrots.... and some other fruits and vegetables, my ears and the back of my throat to start to itch. They itch for a long time. Like, deep inside itchyness in my ears, and the back of my throat.

I used to not have this problem. I read about other people having similar problems, but they were all older. Why is this happening?

I have also noticed the connection between getting older in food allergies.  I used to be able to eat anything and now all of a sudden I'm down to eating about 6 foods and that's it.  It is truly crazy.  I'm still searching for the answer to this madness... I'll post info. if I find anything.  Best of lucky to you.
