Nut Allergies Or Intolerances

[beelzebubble]

has anyone had non-standard allergic reactions to nuts? i'm curious what everyone's symptoms were before they figured out that they were allergic to nuts.

Yes, I do have odd reactions to nuts. If I eat tree nuts, I get very exhausted and tired, to the point that I am unable to get up and do my normal activities. I don't swell up, I don't get hives, and I don't have trouble breathing. I just get very run-down and exhausted.

I've been allergic to nuts all my life. Unfortunately my throat closes and my eyes swell shut.

My nut/food allergies immediately result in itchy lips, throat and ears. I was allergic to peanuts since childhood, but recent allergy testing revealed I've outgrown that allergy (after having kids!) Instead, I've developed "oral allergy syndrome" related to my severe birch & alder tree allergies...I'm now allergic to all tree fruit, almonds and hazelnuts (filberts). However, I do not have a reaction to these foods if they have been cooked. So, I cannot eat a raw apple, but can still eat apple pie...well, at least until I have my endoscopy to see if I'm also gluten intolerant.

Oh, you can still have apple pie even if you are Celiac! There are several crust recipes on this site, but you can even buy frozen gluten-free crusts if you want.

My son has a mild oral allergy to apples & carrots. He also has "hay fever", & I'm told they're related.

My daughter is a celiac, and I've recently been tested, but results aren't in yet.

Pistachios give me blood blisters inside my mouth.

Most other nuts just give me canker sores.
