REACTION TO RAW FRUITS

The New-Test Forum - Food Allergies

FromTo
I have started having a reaction whenever I eat raw fruits or vegetables - My throat closes & my stomach feels like it turns hard as a rock. Sometimes while slicing or handling raw fruit or vegetables - my hands will itch & break out in a rash. It does not happen if the fruit or vegetable is cooked or processed - just in the raw form.
Is there anything that can be done to correct this? I am willing to get tested to try to pinpoint why this is happening - but don't know where to start.

Have you tried organic? Maybe you have developed a sensitivity to sometthing they treat it with.

you may be allergic to pesticides or what ever the store you are buying your fruit from is spraying them with.

i have had the same problems for 40 years. I was told it isn't the fruit or veg. but what it is grown in, thats why you and I can eat cooked fruit. I find it interesting that I can eat a banana only if it is milk. Also I can eat a few grapes but they must be wash really well first. I don't break out on my skin from pealing but if the juice squirts in my eye, or I rub my eye after pealing, especially potatoes, my eye swells up. I never went to an allergist for this but they probably can help. Good luck to you. keep me posted. nebi

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone, I too have an allergic type reaction to raw fruits and veggies. I have tried organic, I've tried without pesticides, I've even grown my own in organic soil in my home and still had a reaction. I did not always have this problem, in fact I ate mostly veggies till I became pregnant and about a year after my daughter was born I started having problems. In 2000 I had an extensive allergy test done and the results were real that I was truly having a reaction. The doctor told me "just don't eat them", but geez that sucks, cause I love them. I have heard that it could be a problem with the absorbtion in the intestines that could cause the problem. If anyone has any suggestions I would really love to hear from you.
